Camera OverviewOlympus E-M10 Mark III

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III is a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera built around a 16MP sensor and the TruePic VIII image processor. It delivers a maximum still resolution of 4608x3456 pixels and supports burst shooting at up to 8.6fps, making it capable of capturing fast-moving subjects without breaking a sweat. The autofocus system relies on contrast detection with 121 focus points, and adds Face Detection AF and Eye Detection AF with subject tracking for keeping people sharp in the frame.

For video, the camera shoots 4K at up to 30fps, with frame rate options of 24fps, 25fps, and 30fps, recorded in 8-bit color. Video color profiles include Flat, Natural, and Vivid. The 5-axis in-body image stabilization helps steady both stills and video.

On the back, a 3-inch tilting touchscreen at 1040k dots handles composition and menu navigation, while a 2360k-dot electronic viewfinder running at 60fps offers an alternative shooting experience. The magnesium alloy body measures 121.5 x 83.6 x 49.5mm and weighs 410g. Connectivity includes built-in Wi-Fi, Micro HDMI output, and USB.

The camera accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and ships with a BLN-1 battery rated for approximately 330 shots. A built-in flash and Olympus Standard TTL hot shoe round out the feature set.
