Advanced O.I.S. and 42x Optical Zoom
If you have a powerful zoom, you need optical image stabilization
This 42x zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic closeups or get remarkable shots of
even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge
effect on picture quality. That's where image stabilization comes in. Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S.
(Optical Image Stabilization) shifts a corrective lens as you shoot to eliminate the effects of hand
shake, so you get clear, sharp, blur-free shots even at high zoom levels. It's an essential feature for
getting the most out of this incredible zoom lens.

Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. is a new image stabilizing
function that achieves around eight times higher precision
than our previous system. The system uses gyro-sensors to detect hand-
shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts its optical axis to compensate.
Advanced O.I.S. enables fi ner, more effective hand-shake compensation.
