See the OM-3 in action
With the right eye, you’ll see it. With the right tool, you’ll capture it. Discover the OM-3 with our technical experts in these short videos on creativity and connectivity.
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.
The past in the present
The OM-3 embodies nearly a century of history, a legacy built on dedication to creating cameras that capture life’s most precious moments.
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.
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
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 & AI subject detection
Live ND & Live GND
No more clumsy filters. OM-3 hold inside the power of Neutral Density filters up to ND64 to capture long exposure shots even in daylight. With Graduated Neutral Density filter you have freedom to position the graduation precisely as you like.
Live ND up to ND64
Live GND up to ND8
High Res Shot
The High Res Shot mode lets you capture stunning details either in 80MP or 50MP modes and now, you can capture high res shots in 14-bit RAW with three times the tones.
Focus stacking and much more!
OM-3 builds in yet so much more from Focus Stacking and bracketing to Live Composite and AI subject Detection AF.
AI detection works with humans too.
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.
