Together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change, professional quality video can be recorded. The LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing. Sensitivity (the amount of focus shift per rotational quantum) can be selected from 90 to 360 degrees by 30 degrees to enable intended focus operation. For the non-linear setting, focus is shifted with a variable amount according to the rotation speed of the focus ring while focus is shifted with a designated amount according to the rotational quantum of the focus ring for the linear setting. The LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 is capable of smooth, silent operation to work with the camera’s AF system with the sensor drive at maximum 240fps. The ED lenses and the UED lens effectively suppress chromatic aberration.

The use of three aspherical lenses realises both high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh, which are common advantages to the series of all F1.8 lenses. The LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 is comprised of 12 lens elements in 11 groups including three aspherical lenses, three extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses and one ultra extra-low dispersion (UED) lens. The descriptive performance of these lenses is also consistent. Common filters can also be used thanks to the same diameter. The centre of gravity of these lenses is almost the same so that it is easy to exchange lenses quickly with minimum balance adjustment when the camera is on a gimbal. A total of four F1.8 fixed focal length lenses from the LUMIX S Series, including 85mm (S-S85), 50mm (S-S50) and the new 24mm (S-S24) lens, feature a common size and position of control parts to provide practical advantages in use.

GTC sponsor Panasonic has introduced a new large-aperture wide fixed focal length lens, the LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 (S-S24), as the third addition to the series of F1.8 large-aperture lenses based on the L-Mount system standard.
