Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III
The camera has a micro four thirds sensor, with 20.4 effective megapixels, (20.37 million pixels).
This is the same micro 4/3 sensor which is used in the E-M1 Mark II, E-M1 Mark III, and the E-M1X. So the quality of images will be as good as those higher end cameras.
It has a TruePic 8 processor. TruePic VIII processor is the same processor which is used in the E-M10 Mark IV, the E-M1 Mark II, and the E-M1X has two of these processors.
It has a Supersonic Wave Filter which helps remove dust on the sensor.
It has BLS‑50 Lithium‑Ion Battery, which is different to its predecessor - the Mark II.
The OM-D E-M5 Mark II had the BLN-1 Lithium‑Ion Battery, which is larger and heavier but will also last longer.
According to Olympus, the battery on the E-M5 Mark II could last up to 150 minutes of video recording, whereas the battery on the E-M5 Mark III can only last up to 110 minutes of video recording.
TPHR - Tripod High Resolution feature
The camera has a high resolution mode. This feature allows creation of an image with a resolution substantially higher than what the camera’s image sensor can produce with a single shot.
Using the Tripod High Res Shot function (TPHR), the image sensor is shifted in half a pixel increments while the camera takes 8 sequential shots which are then combined into a single 50 megapixel picture with substantially higher quality in terms of resolution, colors and reduced noise levels.

Olympus OMD EM5 Mark III storage options (SD cards)
This MFT camera has a single SD card slot which supports UHS-II SD cards as well as older UHS-I SD cards. The previous version of this camera doesn’t support UHS-II SD cards.
It appears that Olympus has made informed decisions about how video bitrates correlate with the speed of SD cards that are available on the market.
On this micro 4:3 sensor camera, DCI Cinema 4K video with IPB compression requires a maximum speed of approximately 237 Mbps which is within the range of U3 and V30 speed SD cards.
4K video with IPB compression requires about 102 Mbps.
1080p FullHD video with ALL‑I encoding requires around 202 Mbps.

IBIS (In Body Image Stabilization) on the Olympus OMD EM5 Mark 3
The camera has 5-axis In Body Image Stabilization with 5.5 stops of stabilization, going up to 6.5 stops with compatible lenses.

[MENU ➡ 🎥 ➡ 🎥 AF/IS Settings ➡ 🎥 Image Stabilizer ➡ M-IS 1️⃣ | M-IS 2️⃣ | M-IS Off]
In still picture mode, the image stabilization has more options, in that you can choose whether to perform image stabilization in all directions, or whether to limit it to horizontal or vertical stabilization only. However in movie mode, stabilization cannot be isolated to vertical or horizontal directions.
The camera has digital stabilization for use in movie mode.
When digital stabilisation is switched on in movie mode, there will be a slight crop to the size of the frame. I couldn’t find an exact number for the crop factor.

Actual frame rates on the E-M5 III (for reference):
60p: 59.94 fps
50p: 50.00 fps
30p: 29.97 fps
25p: 25.00 fps
24p: 23.98 fps
C4K 24.00 fps
