It contributes to beautiful rendition of light sources within your images, such as sunlight shining through tree leaves and colorful illuminations, by creating soft and exquisitely attractive-looking beams of light.
5.5-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 compatibility
Combining the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the lens and the Body I.S. (5-axis) in the LUMIX S Series camera,* the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 compensates for blurring even powerfully, allowing the use of a 5.5-stop slower shutter speed.**
* 5-Axis Dual I.S. 2 can be used with the camera LUMIX S1H, S1R, S1 and S5, as of February 18, 2021.
** Based on the CIPA standard (Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=300mm, when LUMIX S5 is used).
