USB-SSD

recording

USB-SSD recording is for photographers and videographers who want to improve backup and post-processing efficiency

, for example.

• Better heat resistance than internal recording
• Cheaper than SD memory cards
• Can record at high bit rate in record mode

Wireless streaming USB tethering
Live streaming can be easily configured via the LUMIX Sync app (Android / iOS). In environments with a lot of wireless interference, stable communication speed can be ensured by connecting the camera to a smartphone via USB.

The full-frame SIGMA 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens combines outstanding image quality and a large constant aperture of F2.8 with a robust yet lightweight construction. It thus opens up new scope for L-mount photographers who expect professional results from a compact product. Thanks to an excellently corrected field curvature, the 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary images sharply right into the corners of the frame, which is crucial for many wide-angle applications.

Five FLD lenses and four aspheres ensure optimum image quality with a minimum of aberrations. An internal zoom mechanism ensures that the length of the lens remains the same over the entire focal length range and that it is always well balanced in the hand. The fact that the center of gravity hardly shifts when Zooming is also an advantage for mounting in a gimbal. A thread on the front simplifies the use of filters, and the

lens is unusually compact in design

.

Weighing just 450g, it measures just 100.6mm, so you can carry it with you all the time in everyday photography. It appeals especially to landscape, wedding and travel photographers who need to carry their equipment around for hours on end. Lightweight, extremely powerful, and yet versatile, the SIGMA 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary lets photographers enjoy all the freedom of the ultra-wide-angle range without a care in the world
