Compatible with Focus Bracketing, perfect for macro shooting
OM-D E-M1+M.Zuiko Digital ED 30mm F3.5 Macro
Focus Bracketing, which slightly shifts the focus location in multiple shots, can be used for macro shooting. Using this function and photo editing software to composite the recorded images, you can create shots that look good enough to be in an illustrated encyclopedia.
- Cameras equipped with Focus Bracketing mode: E-M1 firmware V4.0 and later, E-M5 Mark II firmware V2.0 and later, E-M10 Mark II, and PEN-F (as of May 2016)
5-axis Image Stabilisation provides powerful support for handheld macro photography
By using this lens with a camera equipped with 5-axis IS (image stabilisation), image blur that often occurs in macro photography due to camera shift is minimized due to the powerful camera shift compensation provided by the 5-axis IS system. This lets you shoot macro photos handheld, with confidence.
- Cameras equipped with 5-axis IS: E-M1, E-M5 Mark II, E-M5, E-M10 Mark II, PEN-F, and E-P5 (as of May 2016)
Compatible with Olympus’ underwater shooting system
This lens is compatible with the separately available underwater shooting system for authentic underwater macro shooting.
- The maximum image magnification when using an underwater protector is approx. 0.7x (35mm equivalent: approx. 1.4x).
- Pictures are for illustrative purposes only.
- Screen captures in the monitor are composite images.

Depth of field
When focusing on a subject, there is an area behind and in front of the focused point that is also in focus. This area is called depth of field. The amount of area behind a focused point will always be greater than the area in front of the focused point regardless of aperture. Depth of field becomes deeper when the focal length is short (wide-angle lens), the focusing distance is long, and aperture is small.
