Capture Hydrogen-Alpha Wavelengths
The key distinction of this specialized camera is an IR-cut filter that has been placed in front of the sensor, achieving 100% transmission of Hα (hydrogen-alpha) wavelengths. This, coupled with the TruePix X processor, allows the camera to record accurate detail, shape, and color of diffuse nebulae and other celestial objects.
Image Stacking and Hi Res Shot Mode
The High Res Shot mode is a computational function that combines information from multiple, sequentially recorded frames and composites it in-camera into a single high-resolution image. For the OM-3 ASTRO, the Handheld High Res Shot mode is the preferred mode, even when working from a tripod or equatorial mount, to capture and composite 12 separate frames into 50MP image with reduced image noise, no subject blur, and greater detail.
Since the position of each image is matched when compositing, this handheld mode will also correct the diurnal motion of stars from a tripod or other star misalignment or tracking errors caused by an equatorial mount.
Based on the Original OM-3
The OM-3 delivers flagship-level performance, customizable creative tools, and robust video capabilities, making it a great camera for a range of astro and starry sky scenes. Adopting the 20MP Stacked BSI Live MOS MFT Sensor, TruePic X engine, and the 1053 AF points native to the OM-1 Mark II, this compact system proves to be a giant in capabilities.
Timeless Elegance and Innovative Design
The OM-3 prides itself on conserving the timeless elegance of the SLR camera. Its design repurposes the traditional dials to provide valuable access to customizable tools, such as a creative dial that allows easy transition between custom profiles, an intuitive button that unifies computational features such as Live ND and GND, focus stacking, and more.
With easy access to the computational photography button, the user is allowed to harness a wide array of creative tools, such as capturing light trails free from urban light pollution or combining various focus points to capture the wonders and details hidden in the world of macro photography.
5-Axis Image Stabilization
The OM SYSTEM 5-axis image stabilization provides up to 6.5 shutter speed stops of compensation for the center and 5.5 stops for the corner. When paired with compatible lenses, the camera supports Sync IS delivering even more powerful image stabilization at up to 7.5 shutter speed stops at the center and 6.5 stops at the corner, ensuring blur-free images in a variety of scenarios.
Also optimized for video creators, the OM-3 allows for 4K video recording at up to 60p, seamless mode switching, heat management for extended recording, and new OM-Cinema video profiles. The dedicated video dial makes switching between still, video, and S&Q mode a breeze, easily recording slow or quick motion videos at frame rates ranging from 1 to 120 fps.
