OM System OM-3 with 12-45mm Pro Lens
The OM System OM-3 is a perfect choice for urban exploration, cityscapes and street portraits thanks to a metal body construction that weighs less than 500g and easy-to-access features. At the heart of the camera is a 20MP stacked BSI Sensor that is paired with a Truepic X Image Processor to produce outstanding image quality. The OM-3 can produce up to 7.5 stops of IBIS for sharp images even at lower shutter speeds and features new dials for Computational Photography, Creative modes and a handy S&Q selection. This includes built-in colour profiles, artistic filters, and customizable menus. It is also possible to shoot at up to 120fps while continuous AF is possible at up to 50fps.
This kit includes the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f4.0 Pro Lens and is also available as Body Only.
Computational Photography Button
A great feature of the OM-3 is the all-new Computational Photography button. This allows the user quick access to 6 photography features including, Live ND Filters, Live Graduated ND Filters, High Res shooting, Multiple Exposure, Focus Stacking and HDR. These features can be accessed quickly via the button and are perfect for walking around a busy city and being able to switch styles to whatever the scene dictates.
Creative Dial
The Creative Dial gives you easy access to 4 colour profiles, 4 monochrome profiles as well as art filters and a colour creator. The art filters can be applied to your images and viewed live through the viewfinder so that you can capture the mood you are looking for at a moment's notice while the colour creator allows you to customise your own presets to cut down on post-production.
Still, Video and S&Q Video Dial
Switching between stills, video and Slow & Quick motion video is effortless thanks to the Still, Video and S&Q Video Dial atop the camera. You can capture 4K footage at up to 60P in 10bit H.265 with OMLog400 for greater flexibility in post-production as well as 2 NEW video colour profiles called OM Cinema 1 & 2. Regarding the Slow & Quick motion options you can capture a large array of frame rates ranging from 240fps to 1fps depending on the settings you are using.
