The Leica DC lens inherits both its name and its outstanding quality from Leica Camera AG, maker of lenses renowned in the film
camera world for their superb performance and compact size. The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR, LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT, and LEICA
DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lenses are featured in LUMIX cameras. Each of these sophisticated lens systems includes several aspherical
lenses to compensate for spherical aberration. And each features an advanced multi-coating process that is applied to lens surfaces to
help prevent fogging caused by fl are and ghosts caused by excessive light.
*Leica is a registered trademark of Leica Microsystems IR GmbH. Leica DC lenses are
manufactured using measurement instruments and quality assurance systems that have been certifi ed by Leica Camera AG based on the company's quality standards.

The imaging power of LUMIX has evolved even further. Improved circuitry greatly reduces picture noise while preserving exceptional resolution,
sharpness and color reproduction. The new Venus Engine V also introduces a new circuit that makes Face Recognition possible. And the Venus Engine
HD boasts two CPUs which achieve the long-time HD motion picture recording in AVCHD Lite (MPEG-4/H.264) while maintaining low power consumption.

The expressiveness of a wide-angle lens lies in its ability to capture spatial expanse and
depth. When you want to shoot a sweeping landscape or fi t all your friends in a photo when
there isn't much room, there's nothing like a wide-angle lens. For example, the photo
area of the 25mm wide-angle lens in the new TZ and FX Series is about 196% that of an
ordinary 35mm lens, so you can fi t more of your subject in the frame.
