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.

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.

Four Thirds system interchangeable lens designed to withstand rigorous professional use. The 
Four Thirds system makes it possible for a fast lens to be compact and lightweight as well.

• Use the hood when shooting a backlit subject.
• For 17.5-45 mm lens, the lens hood is not provided.

x 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.
