Newly Developed Wide-Angle 24.5 mm*1 and 15x Optical Zoom LEICA DICOMAR Lens

• 15x Optical Zoom: The 4-Drive Lens System achieves both high

image quality/sensitivity and compactness with a wide-angle 24.5 mm*1 and 15x optical zoom lens. This speedy zoom provides quick zooming in and out.

• High-Resolution Intelligent Zoom: In FHD mode, the i.Zoom function increases the zooming capability to a maximum of 25x while maintaining high resolution. The i.Zoom function seamlessly switches on when the optical zoom limit is reached.

• Digital Zoom (x2/x5/x10): The Digital Zoom function activates without any drop in light intensity. Combining the optical zoom and i.Zoom enables maximum zooming of 250x*

• LEICA DICOMAR*3 Lens: This lens has passed the stringent quality standards of Leica Camera AG. A multi-coating process minimizes ghosts and flaring, resulting in especially clear images.

Advanced Optical Image Stabilizer and High-Speed, High-Precision Intelligent AF

• Advanced Optical Image Stabilizer [UHD/FHD]: The correction

area of the Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) has been expanded to approximately 900% over the conventional area (as compared to the Panasonic AG-AC160A). This provides powerful correction even in unstable shooting situations, such as low-angle or high-angle shots.

• 5-Axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer [FHD]: In HD shooting modes, by using hand-shake correction that combines the effects of both optical and electronic image stabilization, hand-shake in various directions, including the rotary direction, is detected and corrected.

• Intelligent Auto Focus: The Microdrive Focus Unit achieves superior auto focusing with higher-speed tracking and stability even in 4K images. The highest class* stability are attained in 4K video cameras.

• Custom AF Function: Auto focus operation can be customised by adjusting the AF Speed, AF Sensitivity and AF Area Width. This function enables the AF to operate exactly as intended by the user in accordance with the subject type or application.
