Panasonic DMC-G5 and Olympus M.Zuiko 12-50

Posted on 23/09/2012

Panasonic G5 Power Zoom Lever is compatible with Olympus M.Zuiko 12-50mm lens

Pansonic G5 and Olympus M.Zuiko 12-50mm


Two months ago the Panasonic DMC-G5 was announced/released. One of its new features is a so called “Function Lever”. This is a small lever located behind the G5’s shutter release and can be used to perform different functions, like exposure compensation or to zoom into an image when in playback mode. If a power zoom capable lens is attached it can also be used to control the zoom of the lens.

A few days ago on a company photo walk I met a collegue who happens to own a G5. While we were talking about our cameras (I own an E-M5) he wanted to test my Olympus 12-50mm lens on his G5. After some playing around we were curious and tested if the Function Lever of the G5 works with the Olympus 12-50. And it works! Of course only if Power Zoom is enabled on the lens. The interoparability between the two manufacturers is really cool.

And after some googling I found this video by the polish blog m43.eu showing both working together.
