True Macro. The Panasonic 30mm f/2.8 OIS Macro provides a true 1:1 macro ratio for life-size reproduction. It has a minimum focusing distance of 4.1 inches at 1:1 with a 60mm equivalent focal length post-sensor crop.

Stepping Autofocus Motor. The motor provides fast, accurate, nearly silent autofocus performance for still and video use. The 240 fps signal transfer rate takes advantage of the latest-generation focus system in Panasonic’s GH4.

Fast f/2.8 Aperture. The fast f/2.8 aperture enables extremely shallow depth-of-field control at macro-focus distances, as well as shooting in difficult lighting.

MEGA Optical Image Stabilization. The in-lens stabilizer helps to combat camera shake, allowing you to shoot at slower shutter speeds.

Optics. The nine group/nine element optical formula includes one aspherical element to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion, while multi-layer coatings eliminate lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy.
