Micro Four Thirds (abbreviated MFT or µFT after the SI prefix µ for “micro”) describes a standard for system components such as lens connections or flash units that was developed mainly by the companies Panasonic and Olympus and is specially tailored to digital, mirrorless system cameras .

The general standard , which is open to other manufacturers, defines, among other things, the sensor dimensions, the lens bayonet including communication protocol, the image circle and the flange focal length (19.25 mm), but also optical requirements such as the maximum angle between the light beams hitting the sensor. This makes Micro-Four-Thirds the only cross-manufacturer standard for mirrorless digital camera systems and is now (as of December 2016) supported by over 30 providers.

description

At the beginning of August 2008, Panasonic and Olympus presented the Micro Four Thirds system standard for mirrorless cameras as a further development of the Four Thirds standard for single-lens reflex camera systems . With this compact camera systems with interchangeable lenses are possible. The new standard uses a flange focal length that is about half the size , which practically no longer allows any installation space for a reflex mechanism , but allows relatively small designs for system cameras with high image quality. The bayonet connection is 6 millimeters narrower than the Four Thirds, with the sensor format unchanged. Four Thirds lenses can still be used with an adapter ring on Micro Four Thirds camera housings. Olympus discontinued the production of Four Thirds lenses in 2017.

The elimination of the oscillating mirror allows greater freedom in lens construction; In the wide-angle range in particular , the rear lens of the lens can move closer to the sensor, similar to viewfinder cameras , which can be used, for example, to optimize the image quality with lenses that image telecentrically on the image side . This also means that Micro Four Thirds cameras are only equipped with live view functions for both still and video recordings . Since no additional sensors are provided, the automatic focusing (autofocus) or subject analysis (e.g. face recognition ) may have to be controlled with the help of the signals from the image sensor, with any variable image areas within the entire image being able to be evaluated.

The live view mode makes it possible, for example, to display setting aids such as focus peaking or a software magnifying glass for distance setting , real-time histograms or warning zebra stripe patterns for exposure setting and virtual spirit levels for image alignment on the screen or in the electronic viewfinder of the camera .

Sensor size

Optimization by using the full image circle (blue) with different image aspect ratios:
16: 9 (green), 3: 2 (orange), 4: 3 (blue)
Some pixels in the corners of the image sensor are usually not used; the gray image circle has the diameter of the sensor diagonal and can be used for recordings with the native sensor format.

The designation Four Thirds does not indicate the sensor size, but corresponds to the historical measurement method of camera tubes that are not on the sensor size, but according to the outer diameter of the tube were called .

Screen diagonal

The image diagonal or the image circle diameter of micro four thirds sensors is the same as with the four thirds standard and, at 21.63 millimeters, is exactly half the diagonal of the 35mm format (43.267 mm), which corresponds to a format factor of 2.0 . The normal focal length is thus 25 millimeters. This image sensor size is slightly smaller than the image in 35-millimeter movie sound film , yet still allows continuous operation without the sensor temperature by the increasingly difficult at increasingly large sensors expectant sensor cooling increases too much, which regardless of the sensor size is an increased dark current noise result Has.

Most cameras have an image sensor having an aspect ratio of 4: (mm area = 224.64, Bildkreisdradius = 10.82 mm) 3 and an optically active area of 17.31 mm × 12.98 mm, wherein some of the camera housing has a multi-format sensor having , in which the full image circle is used with different aspect ratios , such as the Panasonic DMC-GH1 or the DMC-GH2. This enables the aspect ratios 4: 3 (4608 × 3456 pixels, 17.31 mm × 12.98 mm), 3: 2 (4752 × 3168 pixels, 17.85 mm × 11.90 mm) and 16: 9 (4976 × 2800 pixels, 18.69 mm × 10.52 mm) the use of the largest possible screen diagonal (data for the DMC-GH2).

Equivalences

Equivalent focal length, equivalent aperture number and equivalent ISO number with the same angle of view, the same aperture width, the same exposure time and different image sensor sizes

The equivalent focal lengths with the same angle of view of different camera systems depend on the size of the image sensor. The Micro Four Thirds system therefore produces the same image section as a camera of the 35 mm system with a focal length that is about half the size of the 35mm format. The normal focal length is therefore around 25 millimeters, with the 35mm format it is 50 millimeters.

With the same aperture width and the same angle of view, all camera systems have the same depth of field and the same relative diffraction blur . This means that the equivalent f-number in the Micro Four Thirds system is half that of the 35mm format.

In this case, due to the smaller image sensor area and the same luminous flux in the lens, the illuminance is four times as great and the photometric light intensity in the image plane is about four times smaller due to the larger solid angle , which can be described by the lens's opening angle , which is about twice as large on the image side . This results in the same luminance on the image sensor and thus also the same exposure value for the recording. Because the f-number is half as large, the photographic image must be recorded with a quarter of the exposure time or, with the same exposure time, with a quarter of the ISO light sensitivity . In the latter case, i.e. with the same exposure time and with a varying exposure index, the same motion blur results in all camera systems , and they have the same requirements for image stabilization .

The following table shows an example of some equivalent image parameters for some common image sensor formats compared to Micro Four Thirds:

Full format 28 mm 50 mm 85 mm 4.8 800

Communication between camera and accessories

A central feature of the system are intelligent components that communicate with one another via electrical contacts using a bidirectional protocol that is also defined in the standard . All electronically controllable Micro Four Thirds lenses are therefore equipped with their own main processor .

In this way, information about the distance to the subject , choice of aperture and focal length is electronically exchanged between the camera and lens, as is the case with competing systems. The camera housing can also determine which manual settings have been made on the lens, such as the mode of focusing (automatic AF or manual MF ) or whether the image stabilizer or macro mode on the lens are switched on or off. In addition, the Micro Four Thirds system can also transfer individual lens properties such as characteristics of chromatic aberration , distortion or vignetting to the camera, which enables digital compensation for imaging errors .

The system is able to transfer up to 240 digital image data sets per second between the lens and the camera body (as of 2013). With the introduction of the Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 in spring 2017, an evaluation rate of 480 frames per second was achieved for the automatic distance setting.

Panasonic products have been available since 2015 in which the image stabilization in the lens can be combined with the image stabilization in the camera housing ( Dual IS = dual image stabilization = double image stabilization). Since 2016, Olympus has also been offering this function under the name Sync IS (synchronized image stabilization), which allows image stabilization with telephoto shots with an exposure time extended by up to 7.5 f-stops .

The control of the object width set in the lens from the camera housing enables functions such as focus bracketing (automatic recordings with different object widths), focus stacking (the automatic combination of recordings with different object widths to increase the depth of field ) or post focus (the subsequent selection of an image with a certain object width).

compatibility

With an adapter and electrical compatibility, it is also possible to use lenses of the Four Thirds standard, although the Micro Four Thirds with eleven contacts has two more than the older Four Thirds standard. The additional contacts are used to speed up communication between the camera housing and lens, which can be particularly important when recording video.

Because of the small focal length of around 20 millimeters and the availability of a large number of lens adapters , a large number of photographic and cinematographic lenses can be mechanically connected to a Micro Four Thirds camera. Furthermore, cameras of the Micro Four Thirds system can be provided with pinhole diaphragms located in the housing without great effort , which cover a correspondingly large angle of view . With such pinhole cameras with a correspondingly low light intensity , the electronically brightened images are then available in real time on the screen or in the electronic viewfinder, and not only still images but also video clips can be recorded with them.

Some components for the Micro Four Thirds system (from top left to bottom right): portrait lens Leica DG Nocticron 42.5 with lens hood , telephoto zoom lens Leica DG Vario Elmar 100-400 with lens hood, superzoom Lumix 14-140, wide-angle lens Lumix G 14, standard zoom lens Lumix GX Vario 12-35, camera housing Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 with swiveling electronic viewfinder, camera housing Olympus OM-D E-M1 with built-in electronic viewfinder, system flash unit Olympus, clip-on flash Olympus, set of three intermediate rings, mechanical bayonet adapter for lenses the Leica R camera system , polarization filter , pinhole lens , motorized zoom lens with macro function M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50

The first camera introduced for Micro Four Thirds in 2008 was the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 from the Lumix-G series. This camera, which is still very similar to conventional SLR cameras, has live view and an electronic viewfinder . This type of camera is now considered a new class, for which three terms are common: on the one hand "EVIL" (= electronic viewfinder, interchangeable lens , English for "electronic viewfinder, interchangeable lens"), on the other hand "CSC" (= compact system camera ), the third “DSLM” (= Digital Single Lens Mirrorless ). In German, "mirrorless system cameras" are also often used.

Another very compact design without a built-in viewfinder, which is more reminiscent of classic compact cameras, is realized with the PEN series from Olympus . In 2009 the first Olympus model E-P1 came on the market, followed by the first similarly designed Panasonic model from the GF series, which was later continued in the GX series. In the same year, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1, the first digital camera with a full HD video mode with 1920 × 1080 pixels, was presented.

In 2010 there were innovations with the successor models GH2 with a frame rate of 60 fields per second in Full HD and G2 with a touch-sensitive screen . In November, the Panasonic AF100, the first camcorder of the camera system, was introduced.

At the end of 2011, Panasonic introduced a motorized zoom lens that allows for a more even focal length variation when recording video.

In February 2012, Kenko-Tokina introduced the first mirror telescopic lens for the system. With a fixed focal length of 300 millimeters, the ultra-compact and macro-compatible lens has 12 times the normal focal length .

At the same time, Olympus presented the OM-D E-M5, its first Micro Four Thirds camera with a built-in electronic viewfinder from the OM-D series, which is also dust and splash-proof. This model was the first system camera to be equipped with a five-axis image stabilization system. This system is able to move, rotate and tilt the image sensor during recording.

In the same year, the company Brenner Import- und Großhandels GmbH showed the first Shift Lens Shift Lens 4.5 / 15 mm MFT for the Micro-Four-Thirds-System at the photokina , which was developed in cooperation with the Voigtländer company .

The Micro Four Thirds standard was also designed for high-quality film recordings. Due to the comparatively small image sensor area, it is easier to carry away the heat loss that occurs in continuous operation at the image sensor and that would cause increased image noise . The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 camera housing presented in September 2012 is not only designed for high-quality still image recordings and compressed video clips , but can also be used as the first micro four thirds system camera as a digital cinema camera for cinematographic purposes.

In 2013, the Panasonic Leica DG Nocticron with a focal length of 42.5 mm, the first lens of the camera system from the Leica DG series with a minimum f-number of 1.2 and autofocus, was presented. In addition, the lens, which is optically corrected with aspherical lenses, has an optomechanical image stabilizer . The smallest digital system camera GM1 was also presented.

The successor to the GH3 from 2014, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 , was the first system camera to be able to record Full HD videos with a data rate of up to 200 megabits per second and 4K videos with a data rate of up to 100 megabits per second Record second.

In the summer of 2015, Olympus presented the first fisheye lens that can be operated with a minimum f-number of 1.8. The bright, very wide-angled and weatherproof lens has a focal length of 8 millimeters, is equipped with an autofocus function and can also be used underwater with the corresponding additional housing. With the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II camera housing, Olympus introduced the "pixel shift function" in which the image sensor, which is movably mounted for image stabilization, is shifted slightly during a series of images in order to improve the image quality with an automatically combined image for still subjects to improve. With the two models Zenmuse X5 and X5R, DJI presented the first drones with a combined system camera housing. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 camera housing makes it possible to combine the opto-mechanical image stabilization of the camera housing and lens in dual IS mode (IS = image stabilization = image stabilization). However, older lenses of the camera system require an update of the firmware in order to be able to support this function. Olympus introduced the focus stacking function by updating the firmware for selected camera bodies and lenses to increase the depth of field, especially for close-ups .

In May 2016, the long-focal length telephoto zoom lens Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400 mm was launched, which also supports the Dula-IS function. With the maximum focal length, despite the small angle of view of only 3 degrees, you can take pictures without blurring, even with relatively long exposure times of a tenth of a second, by hand and without a tripod. In April, the DJI Innovations camera system was expanded to include the one-hand gimbal Osmo . This is a handle with a cardanic suspension for the camera housing already used in the drones of the provider, with which the camera can be supplied with power, adjusted, controlled in its recording direction and stabilized against shake. The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera model was introduced at the end of 2016 and can take up to 18 raw data series recordings with automatic tracking of the distance setting .

In 2017, Entaniya launched three bright fisheye lenses from the "Fisheye 250 MFT" series that cover an extremely large image angle of 250 °. The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 , which was introduced in March 2017, is characterized by an unlimited data transfer rate of up to 400 megabits per second with a color subsampling of 4: 2: 2 and a bit depth of 10 bits when recording video on correspondingly fast SDXC memory cards . The new features of the Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 , which came on the market at the end of 2017, are a comparatively large viewfinder image, a liquid crystal status display on the top of the housing, a high-resolution mode for 80 megabyte images in raw data format, and two UHS-II-compatible slots for SD memory cards as well as a 6k photo mode with 18 megapixels and 30 single images per second.

The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S camera housing, which was launched on the market at the beginning of 2018 , has a comparatively low resolution with its image sensor with 10 megapixel image resolution and twice the native image sensor sensitivity , but it can take pictures with an exposure index of up to ISO 51200 (in extended mode up to ISO 204800 ) record, tape. The lens supplier Venus Optics presented its 135 gram Laowa 4 mm f / 2.8 fisheye lens with a field of view of 210 °. With the Leica DG Vario-Summilux 10-25 mm f / 1.7, Panasonic has announced the development of the brightest zoom lens for a digital camera system with a constant speed of 1.7 and autofocus.

In February 2019, Sharp announced the 8C-B60A professional camcorder with an image resolution of 8K and a frame rate of 60 frames per second.

criticism

It has been criticized that the interaction between lenses and camera housings from different suppliers is limited in some cases. For example, the aperture ring setting on a Panasonic lens is not taken into account by an Olympus camera body or the function button on an Olympus lens by a Panasonic camera body. Furthermore, the synchronization of the image stabilizers of lenses and camera housings only works with devices from the same vendor. In addition, Olympus only offers a few lenses with image stabilization.

supporter

The following manufacturers and suppliers support the Micro Four Thirds standard:

In addition to these companies, other companies in the optics industry have also registered patents for lenses for this camera system, such as Canon , Konica Minolta or Ricoh .

The Jos. Schneider Optische Werke ended their plans to produce Micro Four Thirds lenses in 2015.

Lenses

Lenses developed for the Micro Four Thirds system are usually calculated telecentrically due to the small dimensions on the image side , which has advantages for image quality, especially with regard to image sharpness and brightness in the image corners. Lenses with a Micro Four Thirds bayonet are available from several suppliers in a wide range of focal lengths. With mechanically and electronically compatible lens adapters, almost all lenses of the Four Thirds system can be used without any loss of functionality.

Converter and adapter

Digital telecompressor for Canon EF lenses with a reduction factor of 0.64

With tele and wide angle converters , the focal length of given lenses can be lengthened or shortened, and with various adapters , lenses with lens threads or other bayonets can be adapted to the Micro Four Thirds bayonet. With close-up lenses in front, lenses can be made macro-compatible . In addition, there are optically corrected adapters for color errors with which spotting scopes can be connected to the camera housing.

Since the Micro Four Thirds system has an image circle that is only half the size of the 35mm format and the back focus is so small, conventional lenses built for 35mm film can be used for shift photography with adapters that have shifting devices can be used.

Intermediate rings enable a lower focus limit and thus a larger image scale . With an automatic reverse adapter with bellows lenses can be used in the camera system while retaining the functions reverse position are used to obtain a high magnification.
