Optics and Focus

The camera incorporates DC Vario-Summilux f/1.7–2.8 lens with 3.1× optical zoom. It provides an angle of view equivalent to a 24–75mm lens. This lens is optically stabilized to reduce blur caused by abrupt hand movement. The camera's ISO sensitivity reaches 12500, which is ideal for low-light photography.

The lens can focus down to a minimum distance of 3cm, 30cm, and 50cm in wide, telephoto, and standard settings, respectively. You can choose between any of the following aperture modes to obtain the desired effect: Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Program, or Manual.
