It has a stepper-motor autofocus and electronic aperture control. The focus ring is not mechanically connected to the lens elements, which means that the manual focus is also controlled through the autofocus motor. The focus ring has a variable transmission dependig on how fast it is turned.
It is a product in the Micro Four Thirds system. That means it is fully compatible with every Micro Four Thirds camera body, not just Panasonic, but Olympus, Xiaomi, Kodak and Blackmagic cameras as well. This also means that it is made for cameras with a 17.3 x 13 mm (FourThirds) image sensor, which has a 2x crop compared to 35mm cameras. Therefore this lens has an equvivalent focal length of 50mm.
This lens has an 'HD' badge on it, which means its capable of high quality video recording with silent and smooth autofocus.
It has 8 lens elements in 7 groups. 2 of them are aspherical, which are used to maintain image quality while using less elements. There is also one ultra-high refleciton element.
The lens has a 7-blade aperture diagram for stopped-down background blur quality.
The minimum focus distance is 25 centimeters (0.25 m / 0.82 ft) and the maximum magnification is 0.14x (0.28x 35mm equvivalent) of this lens, so it is not a macro lens at all.
The Panasonic 25mm F1.7 lens is available in two colors: black and silver.
