Panasonic Lumix G 42.5mm F/1.7 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens (HHS043K)

This bright large aperture F1.7 lens pulls in a lot of light and produces a beautiful bokeh background defocus effect for more impressive, creative shots.

Together with the 42.5mm mid-telephoto focal distance (35mm camera equivalent: 85mm), this lens is ideal for portraits.

Optical Image Stabilizer – LUMIX POWER O.I.S.

Large aperture lenses produce a desirable shallow depth of field effect, but even a slight handshake can cause out-of-focus problems.

However, the LUMIX POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) compensates quickly for super clear shots even when shooting in low-lit situations.

Fast Auto Focusing – 240 fps Drive Capability

The lens and camera communicate at up to 240 fps* to take maximum advantage of the cameras high-speed AF system.

Its inner focus drive system and stepping motor is smooth and silent during both photo and video recording.

*Sensor drive performance varies depending on the camera.
