Owing to the compact design of the lens, the auto-focus execution time from the minimum focal distance to the maximum focal distance takes just over one second. The motors in the lens operate relatively quietly, making the lens suitable for photographing of jittery subjects.

The lens has the following features:

• Build quality: The lens body is manufactured using an aluminium alloy that gives it a solid feeling.
• Weight: At just under 100 grams, the Panasonic 20 mm lens is very lightweight and easy to handle.
• Size: Compact enough to fit in the top pocket of your shirt, the 20 mm lens is very portable and can easily be used when out and about.
• Fly-by-wire focusing: The lens features electronic focusing and there is no mechanical connection between the focus ring and the moving parts in the lens. This system makes for a unique feeling and precise focusing when using the manual focus ring.
• Sharp images: The lens is good for taking pictures where sharpness matters. Contrast is maintained in both close-up and wide angle shots.
• Micro Four Thirds: The design of the lens makes for a very compact overall package when used with a Micro Four Thirds camera. The small footprint makes the lens and camera combination a good choice for instances where a full-size lens may be problematic to use.
