• Continuous AF/AE function that supports for both photos and movies
• MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) - Panasonic's advanced hand-shake correction technology
• Minimum focus distance of 30cm over the entire zoom range
• Contrast AF system support
• Circular aperture diaphragm
• Multi-coated lens elements minimize ghosts and flare

Featuring excellent portability thanks to its ultra-compact size and light weight, the new LUMIX G VARIO 14-42 mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. lens offers a versatile zoom range of 14-42 mm (35 mm camera equivalent: 28-84 mm) suitable for a wide range of scenes from dynamic landscape to portrait. The lens system features excellent contrast across the entire zoom range and the inclusion of an aspherical lens improves optical performance by minimizing distortion, even at the 28 mm wide end. Adopting an inner focus system driven by a stepping motor, the superior optical design realizes outstanding smoothness to support the high speed AF system of LUMIX G cameras.

The new LUMIX G VARIO 14-42 mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. lens incorporates Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), which makes it easy to shoot super clear shots even in low-lit situations by suppressing the blur caused by hand shake. When mounted on Lumix G Micro System cameras, users can take advantage of the contrast AF system. 

With its minimum focus distance of 30 cm even at full zoom, this lens provides a maximum photographic magnification of 0.32x (35 mm equivalent). 7 aperture blades produce a circular aperture diaphragm that delivers an attractive smoothness in out-of-focus areas even shooting at large aperture. The new lens system uses multi-coated lens elements that reduce ghosts and flare to an absolute minimum, helping deliver high optical performance.
