Before Use

When using lenses other than the 14–140 mm/F4.0–5.8 lens included in

DMC-GH1K

Depending on the type of lens, you may not be able to use some functions such as the direction detection function (P40), [STABILIZER] (P119), Quick AF (P127) and Continuous AF (P127).

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.
