Leica Changes the Digital SLR's Ability to Render Images

The LEICA D VARIO-ELMAR 14-50 mm / F3.8-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. Lens

Designed by Leica specifically for the digital SLR camera, this advanced lens comprises 15 elements in 11 groups and features two glass molded aspherical lenses that meet Leica's strict quality and performance standards. The advanced Leica D lens also features a carefully applied

multi-coating that minimizes flare, and		Extra-low Dispersion Lenses
two ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses that
reduce chromatic aberration. The focusing
system is entirely internal, so the lens

MEGA O.I.S. – Panasonic's Advanced Hand-Shake Correction Technology

The new Leica D lens is equipped with Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S., an advanced optical image stabilizer that makes it easy to take clear, sharp macro and low-light

shots. To further improve image stabilization performance, the lens also incorporates Panasonic's high-performance Venus Engine

IIIimaging engine. This advanced LSI processes output from the gyrosensors at an extraordinary 4,000 times per second, helping achieve an exceptional hand-shake compensation performance.

Three Image Stabilization Modes to Suit Different Needs

Mode 1

Mode 1 :

Image is continually corrected, so you can see the image clearly on the LCD.

Mode 2

Mode 2 :

Correction occurs only when you press the shutter release button, providing a greater corrective effect.
