available (sold separately).

M.ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lenses

This is an interchangeable lens specifically for use with the “Micro Four Thirds system” which is

a smaller, thinner version of the “Four Thirds system”.

Focal length and depth of field of Micro Four Thirds system lenses

When compared to 35-mm cameras, Micro Four Thirds system cameras achieve different

effects at the same focal length and aperture.

Focal length

At the same focal length of a 35-mm camera, a Four Thirds system camera can achieve a focal

length equivalent to twice that of a 35-mm camera. This enables the design of compact

telephoto lenses. For instance, a Micro Four Thirds system lens 14 – 42 mm is equivalent to a

28 – 84 mm lens for a 35-mm camera.

•

When the image angle of a Micro Four Thirds system lens is converted to that of a 35-mm

camera, the perspective is the same as that of a 35-mm camera.

Depth of Field

A Micro Four Thirds system camera can achieve a depth of field equivalent to two times deeper

than that of a 35-mm camera. A Micro Four Thirds system lens with f2.8 brightness, for

example, is equivalent to f5.6 when converted to the aperture of a 35-mm camera.

•

You can achieve the same amount of background blur as if you were using a 35-mm camera.

Notes

•

When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mount on the

camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter from getting inside

the camera.

•

Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.

•

Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the camera to

malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight focusing through the lens.

•

Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.

•

Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is attached.
