For lenses that are capable of compensating distortion, the horizontal axis of the MTF shows the distance from the center of the corrected image.

Nano Surface Coating

End unwanted ghosting and flaring with Panasonic’s Nano Surface Coating. This special, ultra-thin coating reduces bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum.

POWER O.I.S. – ultra-sharp photos

Optical image stabilization (O.I.S.) technology ensures photos will look great, with sharp blur-free contours across the entire picture. LUMIX MEGA O.I.S. compensates for large camera shake and vibrations that may occur. Capture true-to-life scenes without the need for a tripod.

Splash/Dust/Freezeproof

This lens features a splash/dust/freezeproof construction* that is tough enough to withstand even heavy field use. It protects the lens system inside from sand, rain and more, making it perfect for shooting under harsh conditions.

*The lens supports this feature in conjunction with splash/dust/freezeproof LUMIX cameras. Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this lens offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with water.

Video Support – perfect video-recording

Video support provides smooth aperture changes, so there are no sudden jumps in exposure, and a silent design improves audio recording. Impressive AF performance makes it an excellent choice for 4K video, where precise focusing is essential.
