The E-3's AF system works in the blink of an eye to ensure you never miss a shot. When combined with the Zuiko Digital SWD ED 12-60 mm, the E-3's AF technology works at speeds unmatched by any other camera in the world. An 11-point full twin cross AF sensor system produces tack sharp images. Dual sensing arrays on horizontal and vertical axes are arranged in a unique half pitch shifted pattern for ultimate precision. Critical auto focus functions are faster: processing speed, object capturing, and tracking performance. A dedicated data processing engine and a new AF algorithm rapidly handles sensor information. New pixel multiplication technologies gives the E-3 an AF luminescence range of -2 to 19 EV for better low light shooting Enhanced SWD Technology. The ultra-fast auto focus speed of the E-3 is partly due to the sophisticated Supersonic Wave Drive motors in our new Zuiko Digital lenses. Combined with an ultra-compact encoder for detecting rotational movement with 5 µm precision, these lenses work smoothly, quietly and instantaneously. Shutter speeds that truly let you capture it all. Imagine what you could shoot with a shutter speed of 1/8000 of a second and a X-sync speed of 1/250 second. Freeze action while photographing a cheetah in motion. Or clearly capture a 96 mph fastball as it connects with a bat. You can shoot at maximum aperture even in bright sunlight and take full advantage of the unmatched imaging power of Zuiko Digital lenses. A simplified mirror design gives the E-3 the fastest response time of any Olympus E-series camera. Blazing shot-to-shot response. Shoot in high speed succession. The sequential 5 frames-per-second shooting comes from the rapid reading speed of the Live MOS Sensor coupled with a newly developed TruePic III image processor and the redesigned mirror. Image Quality - Capture it all spectacularly. The E-3 delivers sharp shots in low light or with a telephoto lens even without a tripod. A sophisticated image stabilization system compensates for camera shake by shifting the image sensor an equivalent of 5 shutter speed steps - all possible thanks to a gyro sensor that detects even the slightest hand tremble. An in body image stabilization system gives you the freedom to use any Four Thirds lens. They are significantly smaller and lighter than other lenses because they don't need an image stabilization component in the optics. 10.1 megapixels of amazing clarity. Capture high-resolution images with rich tones and natural, true-to-life color. The E-3's 10.1 megapixel high-speed Live MOS sensor features excellent dynamic range, accurate color fidelity, and a new, advanced circuit to eliminate noise. The sensor's low power usage saves battery life. True color thanks to TruePic III. The Live MOS sensor is complemented by the TruePic III Image Processor. It produces crystal clear photos using all the pixel information from each image to provide accurate, natural color, true-to-life flesh tones and precise tonal expression. TruePic III lowers the noise in images shot with ramped-up ISO settings resulting in blur-free photos in low light. Great photos start with precision crafted glass. You need high-quality lenses to achieve superior image quality. Zuiko Digital lenses are designed to work exclusively with digital cameras today and ready to work seamlessly with future high-performance image sensors. This large, award-winning family of lenses is perfectly matched to the E-3's image sensor so every pixel is properly exposed. The results? Photos with bright colors and incredible edge-to-edge sharpness that can't compare to shots taken with traditional film lenses Viewing - Shoot from unique angles for more creative control with Live View. Olympus is the undisputed leader in Live View LCD technology. It lets you see your subject on a large, bright screen in real-time. The E-3 features an articulating, 2.5-inch Live View LCD screen that can be rotated up and down and from side to side. It covers all viewing angles so high and low angle shots are easy to compose and shoot. The LCD shows 100% field-of-view for accuracy. The Live View screen can also be used for AF shooting. Make adjustments quickly. Instantly check the effects of white balance adjustment and exposure compensation in real time on the Live View LCD before shooting. You'll be able to monitor image quality more closely and exert greater creative control. Magnify it. The E-3's Live View feature lets you magnify your subject right on the LCD by a factor of 5, 7 or 10 times for sharp, pinpoint focus - a great feature for macro shooting. Choose your framing assist pattern. Three different framing assist patterns - a grid, golden section or a scale - can be displayed on the LCD without switching the actual physical focusing screen. You can even see an easy-to-read histogram that checks the exposure condition. A bright viewing idea. A sensor on the LCD swivel detects your surroundings brightness. The screen will brighten or dim for optimum visibility and to reduce glare Reliability - All the technology to ensure reliable performance in the most demanding shooting conditions. The E-3 is equipped with a large optical viewfinder that provides 100% accurate viewing and 1.15x magnification for reliable composition-what you see is exactly what you'll get. Even fine details are seen with astonishing clarity. The E-3's large, precision-crafted pentaprism is made from high refractive index glass with a highly reflective silver coating. The eyepiece uses glass lenses. All the lenses are surface coated to maintain brightness. The focusing screen features a Neo Lumi-Micro Mat for bright, easy-to-adjust manual focusing. Keeping the dust out. Spots on photos are now banished forever. The Olympus dust reduction system is an industry first and a proven technology. Every time you turn on the E-3, our Supersonic Wave Filter - located between the shutter and the image sensor - silently vibrates an amazing 30,000 times per second. Dust is blasted away. The dust reduction system even removes dust attached by intermolecular force that can't be shaken off or discharged with static electricity. Dust will no longer get between you and a great shot. One tough, hard body. Shoot anywhere, anytime, in any condition. The E-3 body-even the built-in flash and LCD-is splash and dustproof. Constructed from a magnesium-alloy with a homogeneous composition, the E-3 is lightweight yet strong and rugged. The same goes for Zuiko Digital lenses. You'll find splash and dust-proof models that are as tightly sealed as the camera. Experience the World's Fastest Auto Focus* with the Olympus exclusive 11-point biaxial auto focus system coupled with the new (SWD) Supersonic Wave Drive lenses. It provides exacting auto focus precision at exceptional speeds. Continuous shooting, up to five frames per second, means you can capture fast-moving moments in time and get amazing results. The UDMA CompactFlash compatibility enhances capture speeds for the ultimate in shooting performance. 1/8000-second high-speed, high-precision shutter enables you to freeze even the fastest subjects. Or, set shutter speeds as long as 60 seconds in Manual or Automatic settings. Effectively reduce blur with Olympus' exclusive Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) in-body Image Stabilization System.
