Press release:


Lumix g 14 mm/F2.5 ASPH (n-H014)
LUMIX G VARIO 100-300 mm/F4-5.6/MEGA o.i.s. (H-FS 100300)
Lumix g 12.5 mm/F12 (H-FT 012)

Panasonic is pleased to announce three new interchangeable lenses, on the basis of the micro four thirds system from Micro lens LUMIX g All implement high-performance optical and compactness with many technical advantages.

Single focal length-Lumix g 14 mm/F2.5 ASPH (n-H014)

Lightweight in the world * 1 interchangeable single focal length, THE LUMIX G 14 mm/F2.5 ASPH, features 14 mm (35 mm camera equivalent: 28 mm) wide angle and F2.5 brightness with a sharp, high contrast images.Using a wide viewing angle and deep DOF, compact LUMIX G 14 mm/F2.5 ASPH, offers excellent performance in both landscapes, but also a snapshot or an indoor shooting.
Consisting of six lenses in 5 groups, including three aspherical lenses, lens achieves both highly compact design with short overall length 20.5 mm and high-performance optical.He also excels when shooting subjects with a straight line, including architectures due to minimized distortion.Integration of the stepper motor and an internal focus drive system realizes a silent, fast contrast AF.
Seven blades give aperture shaped effects attractively smooth out directions when shooting at more aperture. highly reliable metal mount provides durability for active use and uses multi-coated lens elements minimize Ghost and flare to further increase the effectiveness of fire.

Telephoto zoom lens LUMIX G VARIO-100-300 mm/F4-5.6/MEGA o.i.s. (H-FS 100300)

New telephoto zoom lens LUMIX G VARIO 100-300 mm/F4.0-5.6/MEGA o.i.s. implements 300 mm (35 mm camera equivalent: 600 mm) ultra telephoto zoom lens-handheld pictures with a surprisingly compact and light weight.LUMIX G VARIO 100-300 mm/F4.0-5.6 MEGA o.i.s. allows photographers to shoot, they could not draw near including sports, wildlife, and so on without a huge conventional ultra telephoto zoom lens-heavy-duty and set it on a high compression ratio. Panasonic's MEGA o.i.s. (optical image stabilizer) powerfully compensates for camera shake hands which severely affect the shots zoom to suppress the blur.
New LUMIX G VARIO 100-300 mm/F4-5.6/MEGA o.i.s. consists of a lens with 17 elements in 12 groups, including ED lens.By ED lens in the lens, chromatic aberration is effectively suppressed for rendering sharp, high contrast images with a stable optical effects in a range of overall scale. integration of the stepper motor with exceptional zoom, tracking control system and internal focus drive system provides precise and fast contrast AF, yet keep it sound action as silent as possible.
Seven blades give aperture shaped effects attractively smooth out directions when shooting at more aperture. highly reliable metal mount provides durability for active use and uses multi-coated lens elements minimize Ghost and flare to further increase the effectiveness of fire.

3D lens Lumix g 12.5 mm/F12 (H-FT 012)

The world's first * 1 interchangeable 3D lens Lumix g 12.5 mm/F12 (H-FT 012) implements 3D shooting (35 mm equivalent: 60 mm * 2) * 3. She has two optical systems installed in diameter lens mount, stereo image on the left and the right lens, 3D image processing system. Despite its unique performance 3D lens keeps its size is very compact thanks to Panasonic's advanced technologies and the handle system, and designed images.

Capture 3D content with an interchangeable lens camera system was made possible through a system of Panorama or a combination of the two lenses and two CCDS, but these systems have shortcomings, including the need for a dedicated 3D camera and shooting. Nevertheless, this new compact 3D-capable of interchangeable lens enables to simplify processing and Instant 3D shooting with the camera without a special structure for 3D shooting. it produces 3D images and the time period between the left and right images, even for 3D images. even close-up shots taken with this lens, easy on the eyes when viewed in 3D TV VIERA.

The first year of 3D era» Panasonic has led the industry by launching 3D-capable TV VIERA and 3D Blu-ray Disc ™ player while 3D content, including movies, sports, has become more widely available, there are a lot of customers who want to enjoy 3D shooting themselves. this new lens will respond to such requests. This lens lets you shoot landscapes, people and other high-quality 3D will be later with their 3D VIERA TVs at home.

3D content is becoming increasingly popular in various media, Panasonic leads the industry in providing clients and even fun, creating a system Micro G LUMIX 3D experience true to life.
