    Digital-dedicated design for achieving both high picture quality and compact size Image clarity assured by digital-dedicated design 1 Difference between 35mm film camera lens and Four Thirds lens When you mount a lens designed for a 35mm film camera on a digital SLR camera, you'll find that picture quality is degraded in peripheral areas and that there is an increased tendency for ghosts and flares to occur. Flaring can occur in the entire picture taken with a 35mm film camera lens, with distortion increasing from the center to the periphery. A Four Thirds System lens, on the other hand, captures a uniform, sharp image with minimal ghosts Picture taken with a 35mm film Picture taken with a Four Thirds camera lens System digital-dedicated lens and flares, and no distortion in the periphery. 2 ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-54mm F2.8-3.5 Ⅱ lens at 14mm Telecentricity for straight-line transmission of light (equivalent to 28mm of 35mm film camera lenses) to the image sensor (Scheme) The image sensor in a digital camera can be compared to a “deep well” sensor Image Image sensor Image because the light receptors for the RGB components are placed at the bottom Light rays of partitioning walls installed to protect the receptors against diffused light reflections, like the water surfaces at the bottom of multiple wells.
