The image stabiliser unit for in-body vibration correction is optimized for the Four Thirds System which has near-telecentric optics. It allows all Four Thirds-compliant lenses to be used with the camera body and corrects blurring without compromising the optical performance. Results are best when a ZUIKO DIGITAL lens is used, even more effective blur correction is possible. The E-3 and E-510 are digital SLR cameras with multiple functions as represented by the blur correction provided by the image stabiliser unit with breakthrough SWD.
With the E-3's firmware version 1.1 and version 1.3 for the E-510, you can even enjoy the stabilisation effect in legacy OM lenses or other non-Four Thirds lenses. In the IS setup, you can now enter the used focal length to provide the accurate stabilisation.
Also, having the image stabiliser built in the body means to make no compromise in image quality, compared to a stabilising element inside the lenses.
