Features
What are the main features of the E-3?
The E-3 is Olympus’ flagship professional SLR digital camera. It features groundbreaking
technological advances, including a Live View LCD monitor that can be swung out from
the camera and swiveled 270 degrees; a powerful, 10-megapixel Live MOS sensor;
Olympus’ patented Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF™) dust-reduction system, which
makes it easy to change lenses anywhere without worrying about dust ruining a shot;
the stunningly fast TruePic
®
III processor; and a 2.5-inch, high-resolution, dual-axis,
wide-angle HyperCrystal
®
screen for superior visibility (even in direct sunlight).
Of course, the E-3 is also precision-engineered to work perfectly with Olympus' Zuiko
®
Digital Specific Lenses™ for pixel-perfect, edge-to-edge clarity. When coupled with Zuiko
Digital Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD™) lenses, the E-3 attains unmatched AF speeds –
and the fastest AF speed in the world with the ED 12-60 mm F2.8 – F4.0 (24-120 mm
equivalent) SWD lens. (The AF speed of this lens, combined with the E-3, was measured
during in-house testing by Olympus and is based on similar available lenses for digital
SLR cameras as of Oct. 17, 2007.)
The E-3 boasts Olympus' most advanced anti-blur technology to date: Sensor Shift Image
Stabilization. The exclusive Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) motors provide two modes of
accurate, high-speed stabilization. One mode provides blur-free photography for everyday
situations such as low-light settings. The other mode helps capture sharp images even
while panning during action shots. This technology is built into the body of the E-3 so it
works with every lens, unlike legacy film technologies that are built into individual lenses.
