You love photography, but let’s keep it real. You travel to enjoy your vacation, not to be your family’s on-staff photographer. You want a sharp shot of your dog’s epic mid-air catch, but you don’t have time to memorize a user manual. The E-M10 Mark III is just for you. It’s small and lightweight so it’s effortless to take along. The simple to use touch screen interface and exclusive Shortcut Button remove all mystery from camera settings. And foolproof image stabilization virtually eliminates motion blur and shake from your stills and 4K video. The E-M10 Mark III. Your photographic journey starts here.
EASY SHOOTING MODES
The E-M10 Mark III takes all guesswork out of photography. AUTO Mode detects the scene, lighting, movement of you or your subject, and even your subject's eyes. It instantly dials in focus and settings to guarantee results you’ll be proud of. Ready to take your photography the next step? Turn the Mode Dial to SCENE and touch the type of photo you want to capture. Simple touch screen menus guide you so your learning curve is zero. And for images that pop, scroll through 15 Art Filters in live view on the screen or in the electronic viewfinder to preview the filtered shot before you take it. Photography has never been easier.
DESIGNED JUST FOR YOU
Every part of the E-M10 Mark III has been designed with you in mind. It starts with a carefully crafted metal and leather grained body that cleverly hides the built-in flash. This camera is small and lightweight and always convenient. The tilting touch screen tilts upward for low shots and downward so you can frame shots above eye level. Now let’s talk ease of use. Touch the screen to select your focus point and trip the shutter in one step. It’s that simple. When you need to change settings fast, press the Shortcut Button on the top of the camera to jump to the most relevant menu in each camera mode.
SHAKE-FREE STILLS & VIDEO
The E-M10 Mark III has best-in-class image stabilization. It steadies all types of camera motion to give you razor sharp shots. It's instantaneous, noise-free, and incredibly effective - even in situations where other cameras struggle. Shoot handheld in low light or at night and never worry about blur. Shoot far with a telephoto lens and skip the cumbersome tripod. Even shoot 4K video while walking with the camera and your footage will be smooth and crisp. And because the stabilization is built into the camera, it works with any lens you choose.
SYNC AND SHARE
The E-M10 Mark III isn’t just about capturing great images. We’ve made it easy to share them too. The camera’s built-in Wi-Fi syncs with your smart device with simple QR code setup. Use the free Olympus Image Share app on your synced device to instantly share images and video on the go. Always the photographer that gets left out of group shots? Use your smart device to remotely control your camera. Wirelessly compose your image or video, change settings, even trip the shutter from across the room. Then use Olympus Image Share to share and upload your photography fast.
ULTRA HD 4K VIDEO
Many of life’s moments are perfect for still shots. Others are practically begging to be captured by video. The E-M10 Mark III easily captures both. Shoot smooth and stunning ultra high res videos in 4K with a simple twist of the Mode Dial. Use the High-Speed Video Mode to capture fast action with cool slow motion playback. And to create fun shareable videos, use Clips Mode to automatically record short video clips of 1, 2, 4, or 8 seconds. Then easily stitch your clips together and add background music, all in camera, no post editing or computer software required.
NEXT LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHY
When you're ready to advance your skills, the E-M10 Mark III has you covered. Advanced Photo Mode makes high-end photo techniques - like Live Composite for star trails and Keystone Compensation for architecture - easy to learn with touch controls. Use Silent Mode to silence all camera noises, perfect for capturing quiet environments. Shoot fast with 8 frames per second continuous shooting. Focus accurately with 121 selectable points of autofocus. And with two customizable buttons next to the camera's grip, quickly dial in your favorite settings while you shoot.
