11 Point Full-twin Cross AF sensor
Featuring the world’s fastest autofocus capability*, the E-3 uses an
11 point full-twin cross AF sensor that provides lightning fast and
accurate autofocus even in low light conditions of -2 EV steps. Unlike
conventional AF sensors that typically utilise single array cross sensors,
the E-3’s AF sensor features 11 cross sensors, all with twin line arrays
to achieve maximum detection speed and accurate sensing even in
very low light or low contrast shooting conditions.

ultra-fast, high-precision AF system possible. Two compact, high power
Supersonic Wave Drive devices drive autofocusing at an ultra-high
speed, while an ultra-compact optical encoder detects and controls
the lens drive position, enabling extraordinary 1/1000mm order
precision. Used in the 12-60mm SWD lens, this technology enables
the E-3 to provide swift and accurate focusing for a wide range of
photographic applications, from fast moving reportage and sport, to
low light portraiture and studio photography.
