FAQs:
How does the electronic zoom operate?
The lens uses a two-step electronic zoom system, allowing controlled zoom movement at different speeds. This provides consistent zoom transitions, which can be particularly useful for video recording. Operation is handled electronically rather than through a direct mechanical ring. The movement remains smooth throughout the zoom range.
What is the benefit of the retracting design?
The lens features an electronic retraction mechanism that automatically extends when the camera is powered on and retracts when powered off. The design keeps the lens extremely slim when not in use and helps maintain a compact overall camera size during transport. As the mechanism is automatic, it requires no manual locking.
How does the autofocus system perform?
The lens uses an MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) autofocus mechanism. This system provides fast focusing with very low operating noise and is designed to work reliably for both stills and video capture. The quiet operation helps avoid unwanted sound during recording or image capture.
How close can the lens focus?
The minimum focusing distance is 0.2 metres (7.87 inches). This allows the lens to focus on subjects at relatively short distances, supporting closer framing without changing lenses. The specification applies across the entire 14-42mm focal range.
Does the lens support filters?
Yes, the lens features a 37mm filter thread. This allows the use of standard screw-in filters, such as ND, CPL, or UV, for creative effects and lens protection. The small filter size matches the lens's compact design, allowing common accessories to be used without adding significant bulk.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
