Power O.I.S. Minimizes Blur and Enhances Images

Power O.I.S. strengthens the correction of low-frequency hand-shake vibration (View Larger)

By integrating POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), movement, whether slow or fast, is accounted for making your job easier to shoot in those low-lit situations at night or even indoors at a get-together. By adopting an inner focus system, driven by a stepping-in-motion motor, the lens' superior design provides smooth and near-silent focusing action that is ideal for both picture and video recording. By adding Panasonic's unique Nano Surface Coating technology, reflections in the entire visual range are minimized giving you a dramatic reduction in glares and flares.
