Uncompromised performance

The OM-3 doesn’t compromise on image quality even in its compact size. Featuring our most advanced TruePic X processor, Stacked BSI Live MOS Quad Pixel sensor and class-leading image stablisation; the OM-3 is built to deliver reliability and performance every time.

AI Subject Detection AF

The OM-3 intelligently recognizes and tracks subjects such as birds, animals, humans, planes, trains, and automobiles, in real time, ensuring fast, precise focus even in complex scenes and changing situations.

Never miss a moment.

OM-3 brings serious speed to fast-moving moments, with up to 120 fps sequential shooting in S-AF mode. Switch to C-AF and track subjects at up to 50 fps, so you can stay locked on the action when every split second counts.

Pro Capture

Pro Capture pre-records frames while the shutter is half-pressed and saves them when fully pressed, ensuring perfect timing in fast action and street photography, so you never miss the moment.

IBIS

The OM-3’s image stabilisation sets the bar high for its class. Up 7.5 stops EV with Sync IS lenses and 6.5 stops EV internally, you can capture the energy of city streets or the beauty of wildlife with ease.

Stacked Sensor

The stacked BSI Live MOS sensor and TruePic X image processor work together to dramatically reduce noise at high sensitivities. With a standard range up to ISO 25600 and a maximum of ISO 102400, low light is no longer a limit. Capture fast-moving subjects with precision — even when conditions aren't on your side.

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.

Colour and monochrome profiles

Colour and monochrome profiles can be saved as presets to unleash your creativity. You can customise each film-like profile to your liking and share them with others.

4x Colour Profiles

4x Monochrome Profiles

OM SYSTEM OM-3 connecting to a computer via the cable.

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

High Res Shot Mode

High Res Shot Mode composites multiple frames for stunning detail and reduced noise in a compact body. Tripod High Res Shot delivers ~80MP from eight sensor-shifted frames. Handheld High Res Shot captures ~50MP from 12 frames — no tripod required.

Live ND

Live ND now supports up to ND64 — six levels from ND2 to ND64 — compositing multiple frames to simulate long exposures even in bright conditions. Achieve gorgeous slow shutter effects on any lens, no physical filter needed. The result: dramatic motion with minimal light loss and reduced noise.

Live GND

GND beautifully balances high-contrast scenes by compositing bright and dark areas into a single, gorgeously finished image. Adjust GND step (2, 4, 8), filter type (Soft, Medium, Hard), and boundary position right in the viewfinder. Unlike physical filters, Live GND works across every lens — including super wide-angle and fisheye — making it a powerful tool for landscape photography.

Focus Stacking

Focus Stacking shifts focus across multiple frames and composites them into a single image with extraordinary depth of field — no need to stop down the aperture. From intricate macro details to sweeping landscapes, every plane stays tack sharp. Composite images are saved as JPEG with a slightly narrower angle of view, with on-screen guides showing the final crop as you shoot.

HDR

HDR varies exposure across multiple frames, then combines the best detail from each into a single image with expansive dynamic range. From bright skies to deep shadows, every tonal range stays beautifully preserved.

Multiple Exposure

Multiple Exposure combines two shots into a single creative image — capture both in the moment, or blend a new shot with a RAW file already on your memory card. The composite saves at your current image quality settings, opening up endless artistic possibilities.

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

IP53 Rating

IP53 certified for reliability in any weather—perfect for both urban adventures and nature explorations. OM-3’s internal seals, reinforced with rubber gaskets, ensure reliable protection against the nature’s elements.

Super Sonic Wave Filter

OM-3’s dust reduction system ensures camera’s internals stay clean, so your photos remain flawless and free of distractions.

Super Sonic Wave Filter vibrates over 30,000 times per second upon startup of the camera.

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.

4K 60p Video with Slow & Quick Mode

OM-Log400 & RAW

OM-3 is capable of capturing internal 10-bit H.265 video with OM-Log400 colour profile, preserving more data in highlights and shadows. ProRes RAW capture is also available through external recorder.

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

Classic meets cutting-edge

Elegant design encased in a premium metal body, combining ergonomic craftsmanship with enduring reliability much like its original predecessor.

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.
