The magnesium-alloy frame and the seals around all controls and ports make the E-3 a 
rugged camera and the only truly weatherproof DSLR available today. The 11-point biaxial 

autofocus system provides numerous autofocus setup options and accurate autofocus in 
low-light situations. 
The built-in flash also serves as a control for the wireless, remote-controlled flash system, 

built around the optional FL-50R and FL-36R accessory flash units. The system enables 
camera control of up to three groups of individually programmed flashes. 
The E-3 is also fully compatible with the accessory flash systems developed around the 

E-1, so the equipment you may already be using can be used with the E-3. 
The E-3’s bright optical viewfinder is the only one on a digital SLR that shows 100% of 

the image area with a 1.15X magnification. The interactive control panel on the LCD 
monitor and the numerous controls on the surface of the camera enable rapid 

management and selection of the E-3’s features. 
The E-3 is bundled with OLYMPUS Master

®

 software and a trial version of OLYMPUS 

Studio

®

, which enables computer-tethered shooting and computer camera control. 

The Live View feature provides the next generation of composition control in digital SLR 

photography. It allows the photographer to use the LCD monitor as a viewfinder to 
compose shots or to shoot while viewing an enlarged display on the monitor.   

With LIVE VIEW BOOST set to OFF, while setting up a shot, changes you make to the 
Exposure Compensation setting are previewed on the Live View monitor so you can see 

their effects before shooting.  The effects are previewed in all shooting modes, including 
those in which the camera automatically adjusts exposure and/or white balance. 
With LIVE VIEW BOOST set to ON, the camera automatically adjusts the brightness 
level and displays the subject on the monitor for easier confirmation. The effect of the 

exposure compensation adjustments will not be shown on the monitor. 
The eyepiece shutter should be closed so that light entering through the viewfinder does 
not affect the exposure while shooting with Live View.  
It is also possible to preview the effect of the Image Stabilizer on the LCD monitor while 

using Live View. Hold down the [IS] button to see the preview. While in that position, 
press the shutter button fully to take a picture. Release the [IS] button or hold it for 

several seconds to turn off the Image Stabilizer.  
Note: When IMAGE STABILIZER is set to OFF, pressing and holding the [IS] button 
activates the image stabilizer in I.S. 1 mode. 

The filter is so named because it shakes dust off the image sensor by using supersonic wave 

vibrations. The dropped dust is affixed to a dust-collection component under the filter. 

It is not necessary to clean or change the dust-collection components under normal use 
for several years. The dust-collection system can easily deal with the particles that are a 

result of the dust-reduction system. If the camera is used constantly in severe conditions, 
Olympus recommends that the camera body be sent to an authorized Olympus repair 

service center approximately at an interval of three to five years. As part of Olympus' 
camera service maintenance, the dust-collection components are replaced.
