lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds System, which
bear the symbol shown at right. With an adapter, you can also use Four
Thirds System and OM System lenses.
M.ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lenses
This is an interchangeable lens specifi cally for use with the “Micro Four Thirds
system” which is a smaller, thinner version of the “Four Thirds system”.
Micro Four Thirds System lenses
Cameras designed for the Micro Four Thirds System do away with the bulky mirror
box and viewfi nder found in ordinary single-lens refl ex cameras, resulting in a
camera body that is substantially more compact. Similarly, lens design is matched
to the camera for a compact, light-weight photo system. One characteristic of Micro
Four Thirds System lenses is that they can achieve magnifi cations equivalent to
double those produced by 35 mm format cameras with lenses of the same focal
length, producing high-power lenses that are light and compact. For example, a
Micro Four Thirds System lens with a focal length of 14–42 mm is equivalent to a
35 mm format lens with a focal length of 28–84 mm. The aperture of a Micro Four
Thirds System lens can also be made smaller than that of a 35 mm format lens,
making it possible to achieve a lens with the same brightness (f-number) in a smaller
package. The brighter the lens, the faster the shutter speeds that can be achieved
under low-light conditions.
# Caution
When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens
mount on the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign
matter from getting inside the camera.
Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause
the camera to malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight
focusing through the lens.
Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.
