Before Use
About the Lens
This unit can use the dedicated lenses compatible with the Micro Four Thirds™ System 
lens mount specification (Micro Four Thirds mount).
Select a lens that matches the scene being recorded and your use of the pictures.
∫ “Micro Four Thirds Mount”
This is the lens mount standard for the 
“Micro Four Thirds System”.
This was newly developed as an 
interchangeable lens mount dedicated for 
digital cameras.
∫ About the functions of your lens
•
Depending on the type of lens, you may not be able to use some functions such as the 
Direction Detection function (P36), [STABILIZER] (P116), Quick AF (P125) and Continuous AF 
(P125).
•The available flash range etc. differs depending on  the aperture value of the lens you are using.•Take some test pictures with the lens you are using.•Lens with the Four Thirds™ mount 
specification can be used by using the mount 
adaptor (DMW-MA1; optional). Because of its 
structure, Micro Four Thirds mount 
specification lenses cannot be used on the 
Four Thirds mount specification cameras. It 
can only be used on the Micro Four Thirds 
mount specification cameras.
•When you use the M mount adaptor or R mount adaptor (DMW-MA2M, DMW-MA3R; optional), 
you can use Leica M Mount or Leica R Mount interchangeable lenses.
–For certain lenses, the actual distance at which the subject is in focus may differ slightly from 
the rated distance.
–When using a Leica lens mount adaptor, set [SHOOT W/O LENS] (P128) to [ON].•The focal distance of the employed lens is effectively doubled. (A 50 mm lens is equivalent to a 
100 mm lens.)

Press the lens release button  D while 
turning the lens as far as possible in the 
direction of the arrow to detach it.
•Always attach the body cap to the camera body so 
that dirt or dust does not get inside.
•Attach the lens rear cap so that the lens contact 
point does not get scratched.

•Change lenses where there is not a lot of dirt or dust. Refer to P166 when dirt or dust gets on 
the lens.
•When you turn the camera off or carry the camera, attach the lens cap to protect the surface of 
the lens.
•Be careful not to lose the lens cap, the lens rear cap and the body cap.
When using a lens with an [O.I.S.] switch, it is

Preparation
Attaching the Lens Hood
In bright sunlight or backlight, the lens hood will minimize lens flare and ghosting. The lens 
hood cuts off excess lighting and improves the picture quality.
•
Check that the camera is turned off.•Close the flash.
To attach the lens hood (flower shape) that came with the 14 – 42 mm/F3.5 – 5.6 lens 
included in DMC-G10K
Insert the lens hood into the lens 
with the short sides at the top and 
bottom, and turn in the direction 
of the arrow until it stops.
AFitting to the mark.
∫Temporarily storing the lens hood
1Turn the lens hood in the direction of the arrow to 
detach it.
2Reverse the lens hood and then attach it in the same 
way as shown previously.
•
Attach the lens cap.•When temporarily storing the lens hood, check that it is firmly 
attached and that it does not appear in the picture.
Note
•Hold the short sides of the flower shaped lens hood when attaching or detaching it.•When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo may 
turn dark (vignetting effect) and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo 
flash may be obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.
•When using the AF Assist Lamp in the dark, detach the lens hood.
