Lens basics

Usable lenses 

Select the lens that you want to shoot with. 
Use a specified Four Thirds lens (Four Thirds mount). When a non-specified 
lens is used, AF (auto focus) and light metering will not function correctly. In 
some cases, other functions may not work either. 

Four Thirds mount
Developed by Olympus as the lens mount standard for the Four Thirds 
system.
These all-new interchangeable lenses featuring the Four Thirds mount were 
developed from the ground up based on optic engineering exclusively for 
digital cameras.

 Notes 

• When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens 

mount on the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign 

matter from getting inside the camera. 

• Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places. 

• Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the 

camera to malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight 

focusing through the lens. 

• Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap. 

• Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens 

is attached.
