The lens supports autofocus and features a switch to disengage AF for focusing manually. A built-in focus motor is used to set the focus-distance. It allowed Panasonic to optimize the motor precisely for this lens in order to maximize performance.

The lens weighs 110g.

This lens is only available for the Micro Four-Thirds mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Micro Four-Thirds mount cameras.
