Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds system and bearing the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL label or the symbol shown below. With an adapter, you can also use Four Thirds System and OM System lenses. The optional adapter is required.

  • When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mount on the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter from getting inside the camera.
  • Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
  • Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the camera to malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight focusing through the lens.
  • Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.
  • Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is attached.
