f2.8-3.5 Brightness

The Zuiko 14-54mm employs a f2.8-3.5 brightness that allows you to achieve superb photos even in poor lighting conditions.

15 Elements In 11 Groups, Including Three Aspherical Glass Elements

The 14-54mm Zuiko Digital Zoom lens features 15 elements in 11 groups, including three aspherical glass elements to minimize aberration and ensure sharp and accurate edge-to-edge detail.

High-Speed Imager AF Support

Thanks to its support for High-Speed Imager AF, the Zuiko 14-54mm enables users to enjoy responsive AF Live View shooting, via the camera's LCD monitor.

Circular Aperture Mechanism

The circular aperture makes it possible to achieve smooth, uniform, soft background defocusing.

Digital Specific Lens™

Zuiko Digital lenses are designed to focus light straight into an imager's pixel wells, to fill every pixel consistently. It's optical technology that delivers an image filled from center to edge with rich, accurate color, high contrast and subtle gradation. Designed exclusively for digital photography, Zuiko Digital lenses provide a level of precision that's simply unattainable from a digital body using a traditional 35mm film lens.

The Olympus FourThirds Standard uses lenses which are just as powerful as the lenses previously developed for 35mm film camera systems despite being about half the size. Thus the focal length of the 14-54mm in the FourThirds Standard gives the same angle of view as an 28-108mm lens for a 35mm film camera. It is important to know that this is not a 2x "crop factor" -- Olympus E-System lenses are designed for this size format and have a much higher resolution than lenses designed generally for 35mm film cameras. The benefit: superb image quality but less weight to carry.

Zuiko lenses feature a near telecentric design that ensures that the light hits the photodiodes at right angles, thus avoiding the problem of blurring at the edges of the image, or corner shading, which often occurs when using lenses originally designed for 35mm film cameras. Combined with the high resolution of Olympus Zuiko Digital lenses, this lens design exploits the full potential of the digital camera image sensors. The result is clear photos with strong colors and sharp contrasts right to the edges of the image.

Smart System

Zuiko Digital lenses communicate image information directly to the Olympus E-System Digital SLR for a level of exposure accuracy that's beyond the capabilities of a passive lens.

Floating Focusing And Internal System

The 14-54mm Zuiko's floating focusing system results in a closest focusing distance of 8.66 inches for close-up macro shots. Ideal for professional use.
