Dustproof, Splashproof and Freezeproof
Sealing is included on nine of the lens for a dustproof and splashproof construction. When paired with a dustproof and splashproof performance camera body, you can shoot high image quality images with peace of mind in the harsh environments.

Superb Macro Capabilities
An optical design that favors macro capabilities is utilized in this lens for amazing close-up photos when shooting right next to subjects.

Maximum Shooting Magnification of 0.5x across the Entire Zoom Range (35mm Equivalent)
The closest focusing distance is 12 cm at the wide-angle end and 23 cm at the telephoto end. Capture a range of 69.2 x 52 mm at a maximum image magnification of 0.5x (35mm equivalent) across the entire zoom range.


| Closest focusing distance | Shooting magnification (35mm equivalent) | |
|---|---|---|
| Wide-angle end (12 mm) | 12 cm | 0.5x |
| Telephoto end (45 mm) | 23 cm | 0.5x |
Compact, Lightweight System
When pairing the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm F4.0 PRO with the OM-D E-M5 Mark III, the entire system is approximately 113.3 mm long, and weighs nearly 668 g. Compared to a full-frame mirror-less camera with attached standard zoom lens that covers an equivalent focal length, it is approximately 70% less in volume and approximately 62% lighter.
High-speed Focusing
In order to enable speedy AF, a compact, lightweight focusing lens design was adopted. When combined with the high-performance AF system of a camera such as the OM-D E-M5 Mark III, this lens is capable of fast, accurate focusing when shooting moving subjects.
Fixed Wide-aperture Across the Entire Zoom Range
A maximum aperture of F4.0 is achieved across the entire zoom range, from wide angle to telephoto shooting. Because the aperture value remains the same at any focal length, the exposure is easily kept stable while using the zoom in your shots.
