About the functions of your lens

Depending on the type of lens, you may not be able to use some functions such as the Direction Detection function (P41), [STABILIZER] (P129), Quick AF (P137) and Continuous AF (P137).

The available flash range etc. differs depending on the aperture value of the lens you are using.

Take some test pictures with the lens you are using.

Lens with the Four Thirds™ mount specification can be used by using the mount

adaptor (DMW-MA1; optional). Because of its structure, Micro Four Thirds mount specification lenses cannot be used on the Four Thirds mount specification cameras. It can only be used on the Micro Four Thirds mount specification cameras.

When you use the M mount adaptor or R mount adaptor (DMW-MA2M, DMW-MA3R; optional), you can use Leica M Mount or Leica R Mount interchangeable lenses.

For certain lenses, the actual distance at which the subject is in focus may differ slightly from the rated distance.

When using a Leica lens mount adaptor, set [SHOOT W/O LENS] (P143) to [ON].

The focal distance of the employed lens is effectively doubled. (A 50 mm lens is equivalent to a 100 mm lens.)
