About the Lens

You can use the supplied lens or a lens that is compatible with the lens mount standard for the “Four Thirds System (Four Thirds Mount)” with this unit.

Select a lens that matches the scene being recorded and your use of the pictures.

If you use a lens other than a dedicated interchangeable lens, auto focus cannot be activated and accurate metering is not possible. Also, some functions will not work.

“Four Thirds Mount”

This is the lens mount standard for the “Four Thirds System”.

These are interchangeable lenses newly developed specifically for the optical design requirements of digital cameras.

Using a lens other than the supplied lens

• Depending on the type of lens, you may not be able to use some functions such as contrast AF (P58), the direction detection function (P35) and OIS mode (P96).

• 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.

• The camera automatically switches to

phase difference AF [ ] (P59) if you use a lens that does not support contrast AF (P58) even if [LIVE VIEW AF] (P107)

in the [CUSTOM MENU] menu is set to

[ ] (P58). Check the following for compatible lenses.
