Superior operability

LUMIX S series lens first: Switchable to control ring

The focus ring can also be used as a control ring*, letting you customize key settings such as aperture control and exposure compensation. You can even change the ring’s rotation direction for a more familiar feel. The lens also has a Focus button, which lets you quickly access features like the Hybrid Zoom**.

*Compatible with the DC-S1RM2, DC-S1M2 and DC-S1M2ES. A firmware update is required for the DC-S1RM2.
**This function combines optical zoom and crop zoom, allowing you to extend the telephoto range using only the zoom ring without changing the focal length at the wide-end.

LUMIX S series lens first: Switchable to control ring

Precision focus to match your creative intent

Now, you can manually adjust focus even while zooming, giving you more creative possibilities—like seamlessly shifting focus between subjects.
The focus ring offers both linear and non-linear modes. In non-linear mode, focus adjustment speed varies with rotation speed, allowing for quick adjustments. In linear mode, focus shifts at a consistent user-defined speed, providing precise mechanical-like control.

Other features

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.

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.

Dust, splash and freeze-resistant design*

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.

Outstanding video production capabilities

Consideration for the environment and green initiatives

LUMIX is taking steps to become more eco-conscious. We have reduced the number of packaging components by 12%, the use of plastic materials by 39%, and the use of paper and cardboard by 15% compared to the previous model. Furthermore, to reduce environmental impact, we have incorporated molded pulp materials in our packaging.
