Product Description
Manufacturer Description

The new Olympus E-3 is the flagship of its Digital SLR line and
provides the high-precision performance demanded by professional and
enthusiastic photographers. It combines speed and weatherproof
durability for capturing exceptional images in any situation. Olympus
pioneered Full Time Live View and Dust Reduction technologies for
digital SLR cameras, leading where others have followed. Now, the new
E-3 enhances those technical innovations and raises the performance
bar with the fastest autofocus in the world. Body-Integrated
Mechanical Image Stabilization to stabilize every lens, a 10-megapixel
Live MOS image sensor to capture beautiful images, and a magnesium
alloy body for dust-proof and splash-proof durability join the
impressive innovations developed for the E-3.

Evolt E-3 DSLR Highlights

SPEED. The world’s fastest Auto Focus system when combined with Zuiko
Digital Specific SWD 12-60mm lens.

The E-3’s AF system works in the blink of an eye to ensure you never
miss a shot. When combined with the Zuiko Digital SWD ED 12-60mm lens,
the E-3’s AF technology works at speeds unmatched by any other camera
in the world. An 11-point full twin-cross AF sensor system produces
tack sharp images. Dual sensing arrays on horizontal and vertical axes
are arranged in a unique half pitch shifted pattern for ultimate
precision. Critical auto focus functions are faster: processing speed,
object capturing, and tracking performance. A dedicated data
processing engine and a new AF algorithm rapidly handle sensor
information. New pixel multiplication technologies gives the E-3 an AF
luminescence range of -2 to 19 EV for better low light shooting

Enhanced SWD Technology The ultra-fast auto focus speed of the E-3 is
partly due to the sophisticated Supersonic WaveDrive motors in our new
Zuiko Digital lenses. Combined with an ultra-compact encoder for
detecting rotational movement with 5 µm precision, these lenses work
smoothly, quietly and instantaneously.

Shutter speeds that truly let you capture it all Imagine what you
could shoot with a shutter speed of 1/8000 of a second and an X-sync
speed of 1/250 second. Freeze action while photographing a cheetah in
motion. Or clearly capture a 96mph fastball as it connects with a bat.
You can shoot at maximum aperture even in bright sunlight and take
full advantage of the unmatched imaging power of Zuiko Digital lenses.
A simplified mirror design gives the E-3 the fastest response time of
any Olympus E-series camera.

Blazing shot-to-shot response Shoot in high-speed succession. The
sequential 5 frames-per-second shooting comes from the rapid reading
speed of the Live MOS Sensor coupled with a newly-developed TruePic
III image processor and the re-designed mirror.

IMAGE QUALITY. Capture it all spectacularly.

The E-3 delivers sharp shots in low light or with a telephoto lens,
even without a tripod. A sophisticated image stabilization system
compensates for camera shake by shifting the image sensor an
equivalent of 5 shutter speed steps -- all possible thanks to a gyro
sensor that detects even the slightest hand tremble. An in-body image
stabilization system gives you the freedom to use any Four Thirds
lens. They are significantly smaller and lighter than other lenses
because they don’t need an image stabilization component in the
optics.

10.1 megapixels of amazing clarity Capture high-resolution images with
rich tones and natural, true-to-life color. The E-3’s 10.1-megapixel,
high-speed Live MOS sensor features excellent dynamic range, accurate
color fidelity, and a new, advanced circuit to eliminate noise. The
sensor’s low power usage saves battery life.

True color thanks to TruePic III The Live MOS sensor is complemented
by the TruePic III Image Processor. It produces crystal-clear photos
using all the pixel information from each image to provide accurate,
natural color, true-to-life flesh tones and precise tonal expression.
TruePic III lowers the noise in images shot with ramped-up ISO
settings resulting in blur-free photos in low light.

Great photos start with precision-crafted glass You need high-quality
lenses to achieve superior image quality. Zuiko Digital lenses are
designed to work exclusively with digital cameras today and ready to
work seamlessly with future high-performance image sensors. This
large, award-winning family of lenses is perfectly matched to the
E-3’s image sensor so every pixel is properly exposed. The results?
Photos with bright colors and incredible edge-to-edge sharpness that
can’t compare to shots taken with traditional film lenses.

VIEWING. Shoot from unique angles for more creative control with Live
View.

Olympus is the undisputed leader in Live View LCD technology. It lets
you see your subject on a large, bright screen in real time. The E-3
features an articulating, 2.5-inch Live View LCD screen that can be
rotated up and down and from side to side. It covers all viewing
angles so high and low angle shots are easy to compose and shoot. The
LCD shows 100 percent field-of-view for accuracy. The Live View screen
can also be used for AF shooting.

Make adjustments quickly Instantly check the effects of white balance
adjustment and exposure compensation in real time on the Live View LCD
before shooting. You’ll be able to monitor image quality more closely
and exert greater creative control.

Magnify it The E-3’s Live View feature lets you magnify your subject
right on the LCD by a factor of 5, 7 or 10 times for sharp, pinpoint
focus -- a great feature for macro shooting.

Choose your framing assist pattern Three different framing assist
patterns -- a grid, golden section or a scale -- can be displayed on
the LCD without switching the actual physical focusing screen. You can
even see an easy-to-read histogram that checks the exposure condition.
A bright viewing idea. A sensor on the LCD swivel detects your
surroundings brightness. The screen will brighten or dim for optimum
visibility and to reduce glare.

RELIABILITY. All the technology to ensure reliable performance in the
most demanding shooting conditions.

The E-3 is equipped with a large optical viewfinder that provides 100
percent accurate viewing and 1.15x magnification for reliable
composition--what you see is exactly what you’ll get. Even fine
details are seen with astonishing clarity. The E-3’s large, precision-
crafted pentaprism is made from high refractive index glass with a
highly-reflective silver coating. The eyepiece uses glass lenses. All
the lenses are surface coated to maintain brightness. The focusing
screen features a Neo Lumi-Micro Mat for bright, easy-to-adjust manual
focusing.

Keeping the dust out Spots on photos are now banished forever. The
Olympus dust reduction system is an industry first and a proven
technology. Every time you turn on the E-3, our Supersonic Wave Filter
-- located between the shutter and the image sensor -- silently
vibrates an amazing 30,000 times per second. Dust is blasted away. The
dust reduction system even removes dust attached by intermolecular
force that can’t be shaken off or discharged with static electricity.
Dust will no longer get between you and a great shot.

One tough, hard body Shoot anywhere, anytime, in any condition. The
E-3 body--even the built-in flash and LCD--is splash and dustproof.
Constructed from a magnesium-alloy with a homogeneous composition, the
E-3 is lightweight yet strong and rugged. The same goes for Zuiko
Digital lenses. You’ll find splash and dust-proof models that are as
tightly sealed as the camera.

New Lenses (sold separately)

Launching together with the new Olympus E-3 digital SLR (single lens
reflex) camera, Olympus proudly adds three new Zuiko Digital lenses to
its line of 100-percent digital-specific optics. These innovative
lenses employ Olympus’ newly-developed Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD)
technology inside to provide quiet, ultra-fast autofocus speed, and
offer several impressive distinctions, including:

* New Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 SWD, in combination with
the E-3, delivers the fastest autofocus speed in the world
* The Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 SWD focuses twice as fast
as the previous Zuiko Digital lens with that focal length
* The Zuiko Digital ED 14-35mm f2.0 SWD joins the existing Zuiko
Digital 35-100mm f2.0 as the brightest fixed aperture lenses in their
class.

About Supersonic Wave Drive Technology Olympus-proprietary SWD
technology has enabled an ultra-fast, whisper-quiet, high-precision AF
system. Two compact, high-powered Supersonic Wave Drive devices power
autofocus at an ultra-high speed by exciting unique elliptical
oscillations, while an ultra-compact 5.3mm x 4.3mm optical encoder
detects and controls the lens drive position using direct rotation
detection without reduction gear. This enables it to achieve a level
of precision that’s accurate to 5 microns (5/1000 mm). When used in
combination with the new E-3, which offers improved AF computation and
lens-body communication rates, the SWD motors provide the fastest
focusing speed of approximately 170 ms (0.17 seconds).

Moreover, a new ultra-compact, high-performance Zuiko Digital EC-20 2x
teleconverter doubles the focal lengths of any lens attached from the
wide selection of Four Thirds and Olympus E-System lenses, for twice
the telephoto power. Now the Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 SWD
(100-400mm equivalent), combined with the EC-20, will provide a huge
equivalent zoom range of 200-800mm.
