An Exclusive Micro Four-Thirds Lens System that Moves the Photography WorldWith a radical reduction of about half the size and weight of the back length of the lens, mix it up and take photography to another level in the fun factor. In the Micro Four-Thirds System standard, the new camera lens offers a wide and long zoom range of 14-140mm (35mm camera equivalent: 28-280mm) that fits a wide range of shooting situations like scenery to portraits to telephoto shots.
Minimized DistortionThe new camera lens system uses four aspherical lenses and two ED lenses to achieve dramatic downsizing despite its powerful 10x optical zoom, while minimizing distortion and chromatic aberration. Panasonic's Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) suppresses the blurring that is commonly caused by hand-shake, making it easy to shoot clear shots even at telephoto range or in dimly lit places without using a tripod.
Movie Makers, Revel in Quieter Recording with G Micro SystemThe LUMIX G interchangeable lens incorporates an inner focus direct-drive linear motor for focusing. The smooth, silent operation of its fast and accurate contrast Auto Focus system, supports both photo and movie recording capabilities of the G Series cameras while minimizing distortion.
Durable High Performance in a Compact LensFour aspherical lenses and two ED lenses offer superb optical performance. It is ideal for outdoor photography enthusiasts with protection against nature's elements. Seven blades give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings.
