The Panasonic DMW-STC14 teleconverter increases the focal length of compatible L-mount lenses by 1.4x. It is designed to fit Panasonic cameras and lenses that use the L-mount, also known as the S-system. For example, a 70–200mm lens becomes approximately 98–280mm when this teleconverter is attached.
Using the teleconverter reduces the lens's maximum aperture by one stop. In practical terms, this means a maximum aperture of f/4 becomes f/5.6 when the converter is attached. Keep this change in mind for exposure settings and depth of field control.
The DMW-STC14 mounts between your camera body and lens. It maintains full electronic communication between the two, so essential functions continue to work. Specifically, it provides support for:
Because the converter transmits these electronic signals, you can keep using the camera and lens features you rely on without manual overrides.
The teleconverter includes rubber gaskets that help prevent moisture and dust from entering the mount area. This weatherproofing adds protection when you use the converter in challenging environments.
NOTE: The converter can be used with the Panasonic Lumix S Pro 70-200mm f/4 O.I.S. (S-R70200), but that lens must first be updated to the latest firmware version before use with the teleconverter.

Question: Will the teleconverter maintain autofocus and image stabilization?
Answer: Yes. The DMW-STC14 provides full electronic communication, which supports autofocus, aperture control and image stabilization when used with compatible Panasonic L-mount equipment.
Question: How much does the teleconverter change my lens's focal length and aperture?
Answer: It increases focal length by 1.4x and reduces the lens's maximum aperture by one stop (for example, f/4 becomes f/5.6).
Question: Is the teleconverter weatherproof for outdoor use?
Answer: The converter features rubber gaskets that help prevent moisture and dust from entering the mount area, offering basic weather resistance when attached.
Question: Can I use this teleconverter with the Lumix S Pro 70-200mm f/4 O.I.S.?
Answer: Yes. However, the lens must first be updated to the latest firmware version before it can be used with the teleconverter.
