Natural "Human Eye" Perspective & Beautiful Bokeh
Capture images with a lifelike 40mm field of view – similar to what your eyes see – enhanced by a large F2.0 aperture. Enjoy brighter low-light shots and buttery smooth bokeh that makes portraits and close-ups pop, outperforming the background blur of typical 40mm lenses with smaller apertures.
Hybrid Photo/Video Versatility
Designed for modern content creators, this lens features fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus - perfect for both high-speed photography and video. Focus breathing suppression and micro-step aperture control ensure cinematic video results, with smooth focus transitions and exposure changes.
Close-Up Creativity (Macro-Like Shooting, 2x Zoom)
Get up close and personal with your subjects – focus as close as 0.30 m (12 inches) for capturing fine details in tabletop, food, and lifestyle shots. Need a tighter crop? Activate the unique in-camera 2× Crop Zoom to double your focal length (40mm to ~80mm) instantly without changing lenses.
Enhanced Control & All-Weather Reliability

Consideration for The Environment
LUMIX is taking steps to become more eco-conscious. We have reduced the number of packaging components by 33%, and the use of plastic materials by 85% compared to the previous models. To further reduce environmental impact, we have adopted corrugated cardboard cushioning materials in our packaging.
