Just as reliably, its stunning AF performance records excellent 4K video, where precise focusing is especially essential.
Nano Coatings
Reduce unwanted ghosting and flaring for clarity with the Panasonic’s Nano Surface Coating. Developed by Panasonic, this ultra-thin coating reduces bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum. The result: Crystal-clear pictures even when shooting a light source in the dark.
Construction
The exceptional H-E08018 lens comprises 15 elements in 10 groups. The Aspherical (ASPH) Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lens helps reduce size and weight, for high-resolution, high-contrast images from corner to corner. It also reduce size and weight, effectively preventing spherical and distortion aberration. The Extra-Low Dispersion Lenses lenses correct chromatic aberration rendering sharp, high-contrast images with clear colors from corner to corner. Thanks to the Ultra High Refractive Index lens that improves optical performance, reduces size and weight and achieves uniform image quality from the center to the edges of the image.
