*As of September 2025
Sharp detail from 100 to 500mm
Exceptional image quality from 100mm to 500mm, faithfully capturing fine details across the frame. At 500mm, the lens offers dramatic compression effects while maintaining clarity. Well-suited for everything from the intricate lines of vehicles to the delicate textures of birds and wildlife.
Additionally, with the Hybrid Zoom feature*, you can extend your zoom range up to 1,562mm for both photos and videos.
*This function combines optical zoom and crop zoom, allowing you to extend the telephoto range using only the zoom ring without changing the focal length at the wide-end.
Up to 1000mm with teleconverters
Compatible with the optional 1.4x (DMW-STC14) and 2.0x (DMW-STC20) teleconverters, this lens extends your focal length to 700mm or even 1000mm. Even at these extended focal lengths, the compact setup allows handheld shooting without a tripod, making it ideal for dynamic telephotography in the field.
Beautiful bokeh that enhances your subject
Beautiful bokeh is one of the true pleasures of telephoto photography. This lens delivers a smooth transition from in-focus to out-of-focus areas, creating a natural sense of depth and rich texture. Its precision-engineered optics minimize edge outlining, vignetting, and double-line blur, producing stunning bokeh that highlights your subject with clarity and impact.
Capture beauty at your feet
Not just for distant subjects, this ultra-telephoto zoom lens also makes it easy to capture beauty close up. With the closest focusing distance of 0.8m at the wide end and a maximum magnification of 0.36x at the telephoto end, it's ideal for everything from blooming flowers to butterflies that land nearby.
Up to 7 stops of image stabilization with Dual I.S.2
In addition to the optical image stabilization (O.I.S.), this lens supports Dual I.S. 2, which works together with the camera’s B.I.S. to deliver up to 7 stops of compensation at the telephoto range. Normally, the correction angle decreases as the focal length increases, but Dual I.S. makes it possible to compensate for camera shake even in the telephoto range.
Whether shooting handheld at telephoto or using slow shutter speeds, you can shoot confidently without worrying about hand-shake blur.
Easy to carry, ready for the field
With a 500mm reach packed into a body approximately 196.1mm in length and weighing around 1,285g, this ultra-telephoto zoom lens is ready wherever the action takes you. It's easy to bring along, even in locations where heavy gear is impractical or tripods are not allowed. Its excellent mobility allows for handheld shooting, so you never miss a decisive moment.
Responsive controls for every shooting situation
Designed to adapt to your workflow, this lens offers responsive control in a wide range of shooting situations. You can switch O.I.S. modes or adjust zoom torque with the tight-smooth ring for smooth and stable telephoto shots. Frequently used functions can be assigned to the customizable focus ring or focus button (Fn button) for instant access. In manual focus mode, the lens offers precise, intuitive adjustments that align with your creative intent. Even when mounted on a tripod, the bundled tripod mount allows you to rotate the lens between horizontal and vertical positions without moving the tripod head.
Tight-smooth Ring
The new tight-smooth ring lets you adjust the zoom ring's feel for optimal control. From delicate framing to fast zooming, you can achieve the precise handling you need while preventing unintended zoom movements.
Focus Switch
The focus switch lets you choose between FULL and LIMIT settings to streamline focusing and respond instantly to fast-moving subjects.
O.I.S. Switch
Switch between O.I.S. modes to match your shooting style. MODE 1 is ideal for general shooting, while MODE 2 is optimised for panning shots, automatically detecting and compensating for the direction of motion.
Customizable Focus Ring
The focus ring can be used as a control ring, allowing you to assign key functions such as aperture and exposure compensation.
Direction of Ring Rotation
You can change the rotation direction of the focus ring to match your preferred operating style.
Focus Button (Fn Button)
The lens also features a Focus button that lets you quickly access assigned functions such as Hybrid Zoom*, which smoothly extends your telephoto range.
*This function combines optical zoom and crop zoom, allowing you to extend the telephoto range using only the zoom ring without changing the focal length at the wide-end.
Manual Focus While Zooming
You can manually adjust focus while zooming, enabling smooth focus transitions between subjects and expanding your creative possibilities.
Non-Linear Mode
The focus ring supports both linear and non-linear modes. In non-linear mode, the focus shifts vary depending on how fast you turn the ring, allowing for quick adjustments.
Linear Mode
In linear mode, focus shifts at a consistent, user-defined rate, providing precise, mechanical-like control especially useful for intuitive and accurate focusing during video shooting.
Fast, precise, and silent focusing
A Dual Phase Linear Motor and the latest optical encoder enables high-speed, high-precision autofocus performance.
Dual Phase Linear Motor: A new actuator that delivers approximately three times the thrust of Panasonic’s conventional voice coil-type linear motors of the same volume, while maintaining high speed, high precision, and quiet operation.
Dust, splash and freeze-resistant design
This lens is designed to keep shooting in the toughest conditions thanks to its dust- and splash-resistant construction and allowing you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10°C. The fluorine coating applied to the front lens makes it easy to remove oil-based dirt sticking to it.
Outstanding video production capabilities
Advanced optical design and an optimized internal barrel structure effectively suppress focus breathing. In high-contrast scenes, micro-step aperture control enables smooth F-stop transitions, preventing sudden exposure changes.
