Other features
Fast, precise, and silent focusing
A new Dual Phase Linear Motor and optical encoder enables high-speed, high-precision autofocus performance. Additionally, the quiet drive system minimizes focus noise during video recording. Plus, phase detection AF works even while zooming.
Dual Technology
Dual phase drive: A drive mechanism that operates continuously by alternating the current through a two-phase coil.
Dual face magnet: Panasonic's unique technology that places magnets on both sides of the coil.
Dust, splash and freeze-resistant design*
This lens is designed to keep shooting in the toughest conditions thanks to its dust- and splash-resistant construction* and allowing you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10°C. The fluorine coating applied to the front lens makes it easy to remove oil-based dirt sticking to it.
*When attached to a LUMIX dust- and splash-resistant camera body. Dust and splash resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
Outstanding video production capabilities
Advanced optical design and an optimized internal barrel structure effectively suppress focus breathing. In high-contrast scenes, micro-step aperture control enables smooth F-stop transitions, preventing sudden exposure changes. The lens also maintains a stable center of gravity while zooming, making it ideal for use with gimbals.
Progressing towards a more environmentally responsible design
To reduce environmental impact, we are adopting internal packaging materials that have been transitioned from petroleum-based to plant-based alternatives.
