About the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mk III + 12-40mm Kit

The OM-D E-M1 Mark III  system, including interchangeable lenses, maintains superb mobility with a compact and lightweight design while offering high image quality and the high performance expected of a professional camera.

Terms and conditions apply. Bonus via redemption at shop.olympus.com.au/promotions. The promotional period is 12 February – 31 March 2020

Olympus's most advanced image stabilization technology is built into the OM-D E-M1 Mark III  body that minimizes blur caused by camera shake. The stabilizer can result in sharp images in low light, under windy conditions or when using physically large lenses up to 7 1/2 stops slower compared to a standard camera. This means that you can carefully handhold the camera with a 1/2 second exposure or more and still get an astoundingly sharp, crisp image.

It has a rugged magnesium alloy body which is dustproof, splashproof, freeze-proof.

The OM-D E-M1 Mark III  has a 121-point all-cross type autofocus system - especially useful when it comes to tracking information that’s reliable. Which is why On-Chip Phase Detection AF uses an amazing 121 points in an all-cross-type layout. (The cross-type sensors detects both vertical and horizontal lines)

The Advanced Face Priority / Eye Priority AF is particularly effective for pin-sharp accurate focus for portraiture.

A dedicated Starry Sky Autofocus system delivers revolutionary autofocusing performance for astrophotography

Many of the groundbreaking features that are so popular on the professional Olympus OM-D E-M1X are built into the OM-D E-M1 Mark III including:

  • 50MP Handheld High High-Resolution Shot capabilities allow the camera to achieve handheld high-resolution shots. When activated, precise minor sensor shifts are used to capture 16 images which are then merged to create a high-resolution photo equivalent to 50MP. Perfect for capturing shots in locations where a tripod cannot be used or when moving around a lot during shooting.
  • Live Neutral Density - virtually extends the exposure time and allows the capture of images with slow shutter speed effect by merging multiple exposures together. Five levels of the LIVE ND effect can be selected from ND2 (1 step) and ND32 (5 steps) and the effect of the slow shutter speed can be seen LIVE in the viewfinder or LCD screen before capturing. This feature not only removes the trouble of changing filters according to the shooting scene or lens but is also useful for lenses that are difficult to attach filters to.
  • Pro Capture mode makes it easier to capture moments that last for just a split second so it's useful for sport or action. In Pro Capture mode, the camera uses its electronic shutter to enable shooting at up to 60fps (frames per second).
  • Excellent quality 4k Video.

 Other useful features:

  • The Olympus advanced dust reduction system
  • High-durability shutter unit
  • High-speed, high-precision AF system

The Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO Lens is a wide-angle to a portrait-length zoom lens that is compatible with the Micro Four Thirds system. The 12-40mm focal length provides a 35mm-equivalent field of view of 24-80mm and a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture enables a consistent low-light performance and shallow depth of field control throughout the zoom range.

The lens construction integrates an array of aspherical, extra-low dispersion, high-refractive index, and HD lens elements to provide a comprehensive reduction in chromatic aberrations and distortion while also contributing to high overall image sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity. A high-speed imager AF linear motor drive system provides fast, smooth, and quiet focusing performance and the MSC (Movie and Still Image Compatible) designation indicates this lens' suitability for use with fast-moving subjects and video applications. Additionally, a manual focus clutch enables quick, seamless shifting between auto and manual focus control.

Additionally, the lens features a dust-, freeze-, and drip-proof construction that is tailored to its use in inclement conditions.

12-40mm lens provides a 35mm-equivalent field of view of 24-80mm, covering wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives.
 Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture enables a consistent low-light performance and selective focus control throughout the zoom range.
 High-speed imager AF linear motor drive system, with MSC (Movie and Still Image Compatible) support, provides fast, smooth, and quiet focusing performance.
 Manual focus clutch permits efficient and intuitive switching between auto and manual focusing control.
 The lens construction integrates one aspherical ED (extra-low dispersion) element, two aspherical elements, one DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) element, two extra-low dispersion elements, one HD element, and two HR (high-refractive index) elements into its design to minimize aberrations, distortion, and color fringing throughout the zoom range while also contributing to overall image sharpness, clarity, and fidelity.
 The seven-blade circular diaphragm works to produce an aesthetic out-of-focus quality that is well-suited to the shallow depth of field imagery.
Dust-, freeze-, and drip-proof design ensure the lens' performance in inclement and harsh conditions.
