Panasonic&#8217;s Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) suppresses the blurring that is commonly caused by hand-shake, making it easy to shoot clear shots even at telephoto range or in dimly lit places without using a tripod.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-455\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/3327835993_c53d2b1999_o.jpg?resize=480%2C680\" width=\"480\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/3327835993_c53d2b1999_o.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/3327835993_c53d2b1999_o.jpg?resize=423%2C600&amp;ssl=1 423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Panasonic Lumix G Vario HD 14-140mm F4.0-5.8 ASPH MEGA O.I.S.<\/p>\n<p>When mounted on the DMC-GH1 Lumix G Micro System Camera, the new lens allows use of the advanced contrast AF system, which includes a Face Recognition function, for more convenient, more enjoyable shooting.
