MICRO FOUR THIRDS
Micro Four Thirds Digital Interchangeable Lens
LUMIX G VARIO HD
14-140mm/F4.0-5.8 ASPH./MEGA O.I.S.
With Silent Design for HD Movie Recording
The LUMIX G lens incorporates an inner focus direct-drive linear motor for
focusing, which enables smooth, silent operation of its fast and accurate
contrast AF system, for use in both photo and movie recording. Adopting the
Micro Four Thirds System standard, the new lens offers a wide and long zoom
range of 14-140mm (35mm camera equivalent: 28-280mm) to suit a large variety of
shooting situations, from scenery to portraits or telephoto shots, in a
surprisingly compact and lightweight body.
The new 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.
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.
The LUMIX G VARIO HD 14-140mm/F4.0-5.8 ASPH./MEGA O.I.S. lens also features a
highly reliable metal mount, and uses multi-coated lens elements that minimize
ghosts and flare to further enhance its optical performance.
