As the new flagship model of Olympus’s E Series, the E-3 has been
carefully designed to offer demanding professionals the highest
possible levels of picture quality, mobility and reliability.
Ruggedly constructed from lightweight, rigid magnesium alloy to
withstand the most severe operating conditions, the dust- and
splash-proof E-3 boasts substantial improvements in performance that
include the world’s fastest AF with an 11-point-full twin cross AF
sensor system, high-speed sequential shooting capability at 5
frames/sec., and a high-speed shutter up to 1/8000 sec.
That top-level image capturing performance
is supported by an industry-leading built-in image stabilization
mechanism that’s already been proven on the E-510 to effectively
eliminate blur with a camera shake compensation effect of up to 5 EV
steps. A powerful 10.1-megapixel High-Speed Live MOS Sensor and the
high-speed “TruePic III” image-processing engine further assure
picture quality, while increased data reading speed enables
high-speed sequential shooting possible. Put it all together and
you’ve got a camera that offers today’s highest level of digital
shooting quality and performance.
The E-3 is also the first camera in its
class to incorporate Olympus’s exclusive Live View function, which
allows users to compose their shots on a rear-panel LCD monitor. Now
made even more versatile with a dual-axis flexible-angle
HyperCrystal panel that can be rotated for easier vertical shooting.
Traditional shooting styles are supported
as well by a bigger optical viewfinder that provides a brighter,
more comfortable view with a 100% field of view and 1.15x
magnification. In addition, the E-3 incorporates a powerful Dust
Reduction System that effectively removes any dust that gets inside
the camera and a durable shutter tested to 150,000 releases.
