Select Manual Focus and Shoot Like a Professional
A Lens Worthy of the Summicron Name
The LC1 combines an image feedback AF system with an AF sensor
system. Their quick, precise focusing makes it easy to capture sharp,
detailed images.

Aspherical Lenses and Multi-Coating
Dual-Sided Aspherical Lens
The LC1 has 13 lenses in 10 groups, including two dual-sided
aspherical lenses that minimise aberration. A special multi-coating on
each lens surface reduces ghosts and flare. The result is sharp, clear,
vivid images with outstanding contrast, colour and depth.
You can manually focus from 30 cm to infinity. A Manual Focus Assist
function magnifies the image to check the focus.
Offering a focal distance equivalent to a 28 mm to 90 mm lens on a 35
mm camera, the LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens boasts a wide-
open aperture value of F2.0 at the wide setting and F2.4 at the
telephoto setting. The exquisite rendering of this fine lens, heir to
Leica Camera AG's world-renowned optical technology, makes the
LUMIX DMC-LC1 stand apart from the competition.
