Heritage x Function

The form and function of the OM-3 are a testament to our innovative legacy. Inspired by its iconic predecessor, the Film OM-1, it seamlessly blends our heritage with modern engineering, featuring a metal body and weather-sealing to truly untether yourself from everyday life and embrace new adventures.

Powerful build in a compact form

Engineered comfort, crafted elegance

When form follows function, every switch and dial is enjoyable to use. It draws aesthetic inspiration from vintage OM SYSTEM cameras that first appeared in the 1970s.

The past in the present

The OM-3 embodies nearly a century of history, a legacy built on dedication to creating cameras that capture life’s most precious moments.

Creative freedom, reimagined.

The OM-3 brings back the creative dial offering complete control for your creative expression. Through the new Creative Dial you have access to four film-like colour profiles and four monochrome profiles, bringing a timeless aesthetic to your photography.

Explore the Creative Dial and its 8 Distinct Film-like Profiles

OM SYSTEM OM-3 creative dial on the front of the camera body.

Creative Dial

Creative Dial is your gateway to creative photography. With Colour and Mono modes, you can choose from eight distinct, film-like profiles to match your vision. The Colour Creator mode allows you to craft unique monochromatic looks and fine-tune colours to suit your exact preferences. Art Mode brings all the art filters into easy access.

Sharing your film-like profiles

After customizing your colour and monochrome profiles, you can share them with other users, who can then upload them to their camera via OM Workspace. OM Workspace is OM SYSTEM’s free photo editing and image management software.

Built-in computational features.

Computational features are at the heart of making complex photography techniques easier and achievable like never before. The OM-3 introduces a new way to enable making computational photography the centre of your creative with the new ‘CP’ button.

With just a single press, you can seamlessly access multiple advanced computational photography features, simplifying the creative process.

Computational Photography button & AI subject detection

Focus stacking and much more!

OM-3 builds in yet so much more from Focus Stacking and bracketing to Live Composite and AI subject Detection AF. AI detection works with humans too.

Compact, lightweight, and durable.

The OM-3 is designed for robust use, meeting the demands of creative outdoor photographers - from cityscapes to natural landscapes, rain or shine. The OM-3 weighs less than 500 grams while maintaining an IP53-rated, full-metal body.

You need to test it to realise how the camera should feel like!

Weather-sealed & ultralight

Sequential shooting up to 120fps

The OM-3 delivers incredible speeds, with 120 fps sequential shooting in S-AF mode. In C-AF mode, the camera can track subjects at up to 50 fps, ensuring precise focus on fast-moving objects.

Creative storytelling

With the OM-3 create captivating stories in stills or video. The introduction of a video & stills dial allows you to seamlessly switch between the two, along with easily access Slow & Quick Motion modes. Activating this feature preserves your settings across capture modes whilst enabling creative video capabilities right at your fingertips. To enhance your creative visual storytelling, the OM-3 also introduces two new video colour profiles in OM Cinema 1 & 2.
