HOW TO CHOOSE LENSES Tips on selecting the most suitable lens for your subject and shooting situation.

Landscapes

The 7-14mm or 14mm pancake lens lets you emphasize the perspective and express how vast a particular landscape is. The 14-42mm or 14-45mm lens lets you capture medium telephoto shots that draw in distant landscapes. The 45mm macro lens maintains image sharpness all the way to the edges, even when shooting at infinity.
Travelling and Casual Snapshots
The 20mm pancake lens is always ready to grab photos on the fly. The 14mm wide-angle pancake lens or 7-14mm ultra-wide-angle lens lets you fit more into the photo when shooting in tight spaces, such as at an indoor party or inside a car. The 14-42mm or 14-45mm standard zoom lens covers a wide range of uses, such as photographing landscapes and people during your travels.

Portraits

The 14-42mm, 14-45mm, and 14-140mm lenses let you capture natural-looking portraits from a medium distance while talking to your subject. The large-aperture 45mm or 20mm pancake lens lets you capture the subject in clear focus while softly blurring the background.

LENS KNOWLEDGE Things you should know about lenses to maximize your photographic enjoyment. What are angle of view and focal length?
The angle of view is the area of the image captured by the image sensor, expressed as an angle. The larger the angle of view, the shorter the focal length. The smaller the angle of view, the longer the focal length. A lens with a short focal length and a large angle of view is called a wide-angle lens. A lens with a long focal length and a small angle of view is called a telephoto lens. In the LUMIX G Micro System, the diagonal dimension of the image sensor has been downsized to half that of a 35mm film frame, so the focal length is twice as long when converted to that of a 35mm camera. For example, the angle of view for a LUMIX G 25mm lens is 47, which is the same as the angle of view for a 50mm lens on a 35mm camera.

LENS KNOWLEDGE Take your photography to the next level What's the F-number?
Lens brightness is determined by the focal length and effective lens diameter. If you divide the focal length by the effective lens diameter, you get a value called the F-number. The smaller the F-number, the brighter the lens (the larger the aperture). A bright lens has several key advantages. For example, a brighter lens lets you use a faster shutter speed, so you can get clear, blur-free shots even in dim lighting. It also lets you give the background a soft focus.

What's depth of field?

Depth of field is the range of object distances (in the depth direction) within which objects have acceptable sharpness. A long focal length (telephoto lens) or small F-number (bright lens) makes the depth of field shallower. A short focal length (wide-angle lens) or large F-number (dark lens) makes the depth of field greater. With a shallow depth of field, it's easier to take pictures in which the background is intentionally given a soft focus, thus emphasising the sharp subject focus. With a large depth of field, you can keep objects in the foreground and objects in the background all in focus (for a pan-focus effect).

What's perspective?

Perspective refers to the relationship between nearby and distant objects. A wideangle lens makes objects close to the lens appear larger and faraway objects smaller. This emphasises the distance (depth) between nearby and distant objects, making the background appear farther away and expansive. A telephoto lens, on the other hand, compresses the perspective, thus deemphasising the distance between objects in the foreground and objects in the background.

What's MTF?

MTF stands for Modulation Transfer Function. It's one of the indexes used to describe lens performance. The MTF is a numerical value that indicates how accurately a lens can reproduce the contrast of an object. The vertical axis of the graph shows contrast reproducibility (%), while the horizontal axis indicates the distance (mm) from the image centre. The image quality is evaluated in the sagittal direction "S" (parallel to the radius of the image circle) and in the meridional direction "M" (radial direction) using two frequencies (high frequency: 40 lines/mm, low frequency: 20 lines/mm). The solid lines represent sagittal measurements, and the dotted lines indicate 80 meridional measurements. The higher up (100%) the graph, the better the 50 image rendering capability of the 40 lens. The higher the measurements with the low frequency, the higher 10 the contrast reproduction capability. 10 The higher the measurements with Distance from image centre (mm) the high frequency, the higher the S: 20 lines/mm M: 20 lines/mm resolving power. S: 40 lines/mm M: 40 lines/mm
*Figures in parentheses are 35mm camera equivalent values.
What's the magnification ratio?
The magnification ratio is a numerical value that indicates the size difference between the actual size of an object and the size of that object captured on the image sensor. For example, if a 10-mm object is captured in a 5-mm size on the image sensor through a lens, that lens has a magnification ratio of 0.5x. If the object is captured in a 10-mm size, the lens has a magnification ratio of 1.0x, which is also referred to as "1:1."
*The maximum image magnification of a Micro Four Thirds System lens can be converted into the maximum image magnification of a 35mm camera lens by multiplying "the indicated maximum image magnification x 2".

LENS TECHNOLOGY These cutting-edge technologies support the compact size, light weight, and high-quality images of the LUMIX G Micro System. Lenses Manufactured with Uncompromising Devotion to High Image Quality
The LUMIX G/LEICA DG lenses are manufactured by an integrated production system in the Panasonic Yamagata Plant in Japan. From lens processing to assembly, inspection, and individual packaging, all processes are conducted in Clean Rooms according to rigorous environmental standards. For example, to inspect aspherical lenses, we use an instrument called the UA3P Ultra-Accurate 3D Profilometer, which was originally developed by Panasonic and now plays an essential role in the development and manufacturing activities of many optical device manufacturers. Using this instrument, with its measurement accuracy of 1/10,000 mm, we conduct objective, numerical evaluations. These criteria are then used to determine the presence of flaring, the color of coatings, the operating feel of the focus ring, etc., in order to ensure high-quality production control. As a result, the quality of Panasonic lenses has gained high worldwide acclaim for accuracy and image quality.
An Original Lens Drive Motor for High-Precision, High-Speed Contrast AF
In conventional digital SLR cameras, contrast AF is more accurate than phase difference AF, but it has a slower focus speed. LUMIX G/LEICA DG lenses overcome this problem by incorporating a unique stepping motor in the drive system. A screw unit integrated with the motor shaft moves the focus lens directly, without relay gears or cams. Auto focusing is swift and accurate. Some lens models are equipped with a linear motor to further reduce drive noise ideal when recording movies with sound. The number of mount signal contacts has been increased from the 9 used in conventional Four Thirds System cameras to 11, so information transfer between lens and camera is faster. This has also helped achieve a contrast AF system that excels in both speed and accuracy.

Aspherical Lenses

To assure superior image quality while reducing size and weight, each LUMIX G/LEICA DG lens features a number of aspherical lenses that effectively prevent lens aberration, such as spherical and distortion aberration. Each aspherical lens has the effect of several spherical lenses, so a higher magnification ratio can be achieved with fewer lenses. The result is smaller overall size and weight. Aspherical lenses are extremely difficult to produce, however, because they demand high dimensional accuracy. In the past this restricted the applicable lens shapes and materials, but Panasonic has made great strides in this area. Our Yamagata Plant began developing cuttingedge production technologies for molded lenses early on, and today the plant manufactures a wide variety of lenses including concave lenses that have a large thickness difference and measure a mere 0.3 mm at the thinnest part. The aspherical lenses with superb image rendering ability produced at this plant now see widespread use.
Extra-Low Dispersion Lenses
In a conventional lens made only of optical glass, it becomes difficult to correct chromatic aberration when the focal length is long or the angle of view is wide, thus resulting in contrast degradation or colour bleeding. This problem has been solved by Panasonic's Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lens. It suppresses the prism's colour separation effect to correct longitudinal chromatic aberration at the telephoto zoom setting and chromatic difference of magnification at the wide-angle setting. The ED lens is used mainly in LUMIX G/LEICA DG telephoto lenses and wide-angle zoom lenses to render sharp, high-contrast images with clear colours from corner to corner.
