Full-HD and high-definition time-lapse options are also available. Additionally, a Clips Video Mode is available for in-camera video production, which includes the option to use audio that has been uploaded to your SD card.
5-Axis Image Stabilization for the Entire Body
When working with telephoto shots, macro photography, or long exposures, sensor-shift image stabilization can help to reduce the appearance of camera shake by up to 4 stops with any lens in use. It also compensates for camera movements that become particularly noticeable when working with long exposures, telephoto shots, or macro photography.
This innovative picture stabilization technology compensates for vertical angle rotation, horizontal angle rotation, horizontal shift, vertical shift, and rolling camera shaking movement by working across five axes. This range of observed motions is beneficial for both traditional still picture photography and video recording, as well as for working more efficiently with moving subjects.
Additionally, by half-pressing the shutter button, picture stabilization may be activated when framing images to create more precise compositions.
The camera has a 121-point contrast-detect autofocus system and can shoot at 8.5 frames per second.
The E-M10 Mark III’s updated 121-point contrast-detect high-speed imager AF system allows you to lock on and follow subject matter fast and effectively, resulting in tack-sharp images every time.
Touch AF features may also be accessed via the back LCD, and users can benefit from the superior tracking performance. Additionally, the E-M10 III is capable of shooting at speeds of up to 8.5 frames per second and can record bursts of up to 22 raw frames or 36 JPEGs. There is a low-speed mode of 4.8 frames per second that has no limit on the buffer size.
