## Long description

The LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. is a compact, retractable interchangeable standard zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds LUMIX G cameras. The lens combines Panasonic's optical technologies in a 9-element/8-group design, including four aspherical elements and two ED elements, and features Nano Surface Coating and an electric-powered (power zoom) operation. It offers a small size (approx. 26.8 mm retracted) and light weight (approx. 95 g) for high mobility while maintaining edge-to-edge contrast and reduced ghosting and flare.
Advantages
The lens delivers excellent overall image rendering with crisp contrast across the zoom range and improved distortion correction thanks to multiple aspherical elements. Two ED elements reduce chromatic aberration for clearer color fidelity. The Nano Surface Coating minimizes reflections across the visible spectrum to reduce ghosts and flares. An inner-focus design driven by a stepping motor enables fast, smooth autofocus performance and shorter shutter lag, while the power zoom offers convenient electric zoom control.
Suitable for
 Everyday and travel photography where compact size and low weight are important
 General-purpose shooting on LUMIX G / Micro Four Thirds MILC cameras
 Video recording that benefits from smooth power zoom and reduced flare
 Street and documentary photography requiring quick AF and portability

How to use
Attach the lens to a compatible Micro Four Thirds camera body until it locks. Extend the lens by switching it to the shooting position; the power zoom control operates the electric zoom mechanism. Use the camera's AF mode to take advantage of the inner-focus stepping motor for fast autofocus. For handheld shots, enable POWER O.I.S. to reduce camera shake. When not in use, retract the lens to its compact position and use a front lens cap to protect the glass.
Usage recommendations
For best results update compatible camera firmware (for example DMC-GF3 to Ver.1.1 or later where applicable) to ensure optimal AF and exposure performance. Keep the Nano Surface Coating clean by using a soft blower and microfiber cloth to avoid scratches.
