Product Information

The AP mode brings challenging shooting techniques to a beginner’s level, such as panoramas, HDR and more. The OMD EM10 Mark III, like all Olympus OMD and PEN bodies, features built-in sensor-shift stabilisation that works with any lens you attach. I know this is the traditional (and still most common) way of doing things, but I find the option of recharging a battery in-camera over USB so much more convenient when I’m travelling or simply out and about as I don’t need to bring the charging unit, nor find an available AC outlet for it. The contrast-based AF system has also been upgraded from 81 to 121 points, and continuous shooting improved fractionally from 8.

One of the main aspects of the E-M10 Mark IV we wanted to test was how well the Continuous AF worked.As before you can have the camera go for the left eye, the right eye, or best of all, the nearest eye in the shot. The High Res Shot mode is another feature found only on the more advanced Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III and E-M1 Mark II, and not on the cheaper E-M10 Mark III. There are another seven picture colour modes, which sees the camera apply some filtering of its own. All three cameras share the same 324-zone exposure system, offering multi-pattern ESP metering, center-weighted and spot metering modes, plus very effective highlight and shadow modes which enable you to set the exposure for either of these key areas – a more advanced and very useful mode that probably doesn’t get the credit it deserves. The 3:2 screen shape means images composed or played-back in the native 4:3 aspect ratio are presented with thin vertical bars running down either side.

If you’re remotely controlling the camera over Wifi you can even view the mid-exposure peeks on your phone’s screen.Focus Stacking is a fun feature on the EM10 Mark III and certainly a lot quicker and easier than adjusting a lens manually, not to mention more convenient than tethering a camera to a computer to perform the process for you. Shooting in RAW is a sensible option too as you can generate new JPEGs with different ART filters applied during playback if desired, allowing you to explore alternative options after the event, or of course deciding not to bother at all if they don’t suit the subject after all; the ART bracketing option in RAW processing during playback lets you generate more than one at once too. In addition, for more advanced users there's a clean HDMI output for recording or viewing on external devices. The EM10 Mark III also inherits the Keystone Compensation option of recent models which provides real-time correction of converging lines as you compose, although on the Mark III you’ll now find it on the AP menu.
