The new camera lens system uses four aspherical lenses and two
ED lenses to achieve dramatic downsizing despite its powerful 10x
optical zoom, while minimizing distortion and chromatic
aberration. Panasonic's Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)
suppresses the blurring that is commonly caused by hand-shake,
making it easy to shoot clear s even at telephoto range or in
dimly lit places without using a tripod.
