POWER O.I.S. Lens from Panasonic offers a truly expansive 200-800mm equivalent focal length range, yet retains a relatively compact stature to suit the Micro Four Thirds system. Characterized by its Leica branding, this sophisticated optic employs aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements to significantly reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range for a high degree of image clarity and sharpness. Also benefitting image sharpness, a POWER O.I.S. system, which is compatible with Lumix G camera's Dual I.S. function, helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting at longer focal lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenefitting both stills shooting and video recording, a 240 fps high-speed AF motor is both quiet and precise, and a focus limiter function can be employed to constrain the focusing range for even quicker performance. Additionally, the physical design of the lens utilizes a gapless construction that renders it both dust- and moisture-resistant for use in inclement conditions. And while its lightweight, compact form factor is suitable for handheld shooting, the 100-400mm f\/4-6.3 also features an integrated rotating tripod collar for fast switching between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations when working atop a monopod or tripod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelephoto zoom designed for Micro Four Thirds system cameras, this lens offers a 200-800mm equivalent focal length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned in collaboration with Leica, the 20 elements, 13 groups optical design incorporates one aspherical extra-low dispersion element, one Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion element, and two extra-low dispersion elements. The combination of aspherical and low dispersion elements helps to reduce spherical aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range for improved sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePOWER O.I.S. mechanism helps to control camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. This system is also compatible with the Dual I.S. function in select Lumix G cameras, which more effectively minimizes the appearance of camera shake by using both sensor-shift and lens-shift type stabilization methods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 240 fps AF motor offers fast, precise, and near-silent focusing performance to benefit both stills shooting and video recording applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus Limiter allows you to constrain the focusing range of the lens from its minimum focusing distance to infinity, or from 16.4' to infinity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe minimum focusing distance is 4.3', which pairs with an equivalent maximum magnification of 0.5x to support working with close-up subjects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when working with selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGapless construction renders the lens both dust- and moisture-resistant to support photographing in outdoor and harsh environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA built-in quick-shift, two-part rotating tripod collar permits quick switching between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations, and keeps the lens controls in the same place once rotated for more intuitive handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn integrated hide-away lens hood can retract around the lens when not in use, or be deployed to guard against stray light from causing unwanted lens flare and ghosting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA zoom ring lock prevents unwanted lens creep from occurring while carrying the lens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated levers are available to select the Focus Limiter position, AF or MF focusing methods, or to deactivate the lens-based POWER O.I.S.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm f\/4-6.3 ASPH Power OIS Black Lens is a professional lens from one of the world’s leading names in photography, Panasonic.
