Wide-angle expression that makes the most of perspective and excellent image quality. Utilizing the 24mm wide-angle perspective, you can easily enjoy a higher level of expression in a wide range of scenes, such as portraits that capture the background scene with a sense of spaciousness and realism, snapshots that capture the atmosphere of a street corner, and nightscapes that capture light sources with soft, beautiful bokeh by setting the aperture to the maximum value. Not only does the large F1.8 aperture enhance bokeh, but it is also suitable for shooting in low-light environments. High-performance lens: Three aspherical lenses suppress spherical aberration, one UED lens effectively corrects chromatic aberration, and three ED lenses. The lens configuration is an optical design consisting of 12 elements in 11 groups. Three aspherical lenses suppress spherical aberration, while three ED lenses are optimally positioned to correct chromatic aberration. Furthermore, the lens incorporates UED (Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses. With performance similar to that of fluorite, it suppresses the chromatic dispersion effect of the prism and effectively corrects on-axis chromatic aberration, ensuring excellent image sharpness across the entire shooting range, even to the edges of the image. High-speed, high-precision focusing: This lens's focus is driven by a linear motor along a guide axis, using a frame that holds the focusing lens. This configuration combines high-speed, high-precision AF performance with quiet operation. Furthermore, high-speed communication control between the body and lens has been accelerated, achieving both precision and speed. In addition, the quiet drive allows you to shoot without worrying about the focus drive noise during video recording, shortening post-production time.
Despite its compact and lightweight design, this S-series lens delivers superior expressive power and ease of use in both photography and video. Its large aperture makes it compact and lightweight for portability, allowing you to focus on your photography without feeling the weight of your equipment. The bright F-number delivers excellent imaging performance in a variety of scenes, from nightscapes and portraits to snapshots and landscapes.
This S-series lens enables high-resolution 4K video production. Its optical design, optimized for high-resolution video recording, and an optimized internal lens barrel structure suppress breathing, which changes the angle of view as the focus position shifts during video recording. Furthermore, aperture micro-step control smoothly controls F-number changes, suppressing sudden exposure changes, even in scenes with large changes in brightness. It also supports stable exposure control when panning during video recording. The focus ring can be switched between linear and non-linear settings. The non-linear method adjusts the focus by a variable amount in response to the rotation speed of the focus ring, enabling agile focusing. The linear method adjusts the focus by a fixed amount in response to the rotation of the focus ring. Furthermore, the rotation amount can be adjusted to suit the shooting scene, enabling intuitive and precise focusing similar to mechanical focusing when shooting video.
Compact and lightweight design protects the lens even in harsh shooting environments. The compact and lightweight design allows for mobility in a wide range of scenes, with dust- and weather-resistant specifications* for mobile shooting. Capture those rare shutter opportunities without being affected by weather or other environmental factors. It also protects your precious lens from water and dust. *When attached to a Panasonic dust- and weather-resistant camera body. While the lens is designed to be dust- and weather-resistant, it does not completely prevent dust and water from entering.
Low-temperature design: -10°C Low-temperature design: -10°C, allowing shooting in cold environments such as snowy mountains and ski slopes. You can also capture the beautiful and fantastical world of snow and ice as new works of art.
The compact, lightweight body fits comfortably in your hand, with a robust, high-quality design that inspires you to take photographs.The compact, lightweight body fits comfortably in your hand like a familiar tool.Graphic lines express the path of light from the lens to the viewfinder, vertical slit knurling balances operability and design, and the S mark makes a subtle statement despite its compactness and light weight.The glossy black body, common to the S series, brings joy to ownership, and the mobility and robustness expand the scope of your photography, broadening the scope of your expression.
