Om System OM-3 Astro - Camera Astrophotography (RESERVATION)

Color Hα and deep sky in more detail

The OM SYSTEM OM-3 ASTRO is optimized for astrophotography with a specialized IR-cut filter and a color profile tailored to this type of scene. The result is greater contrast, cleaner gradations, and richer reproduction of emission nebulae and deep-sky images.

What does it contribute to real astrophotography?

Astrophotography camera with 100% Hα sensitivity and very solid performance in low-light scenes. This helps maintain detail in areas of weak signal and produces files with a very usable aesthetic, without having to struggle with aggressive settings.

Computational night photography without the hassle

The Om system OM-3 Astro takes advantage of advanced features that make a lot of sense with a tripod or mount, especially when you want to improve detail and reduce noise without lengthening the workflow.

High Res Shot 50 MP for more resolution and less noise

High Res Shot mode combines multiple in-camera exposures to produce 50MP files with a superior sense of definition. It's especially useful for nightscapes and deep-sky photography when you're looking to bring out texture and micro-detail.

Starry Sky AF and Live Composite to nail the moment

Starry Sky AF makes focusing in dark skies easier, and Live Composite allows you to build up long exposures progressively, avoiding overexposure of bright areas. Overall, it's a very practical approach for nighttime sessions where you don't want to waste time repeating shots.

Durable body and handling designed for nighttime outings

Magnesium alloy body, weather resistance (IP53 depending on conditions), tiltable touchscreen, and 2.36 million dot OLED viewfinder. Compact, robust, and intuitive for working on location and during long sessions.

Stability and focus for working safely

It includes 5-axis in-body image stabilization of up to 7.5 stops and a hybrid AF system with 1053 points, offering good low-light focusing performance. All of this is beneficial when working with long exposures, tripod-mounted equipment, or when framing shots that require precision.
