Yoon Jong-un’s take on the E PZ 10-20mm F4 G
Great for shooting handheld, even on longer shoots”

When capturing the great outdoors, mobility matters and every gram counts. That’s why Jong-un appreciates the lightness of the ultra-wide E PZ 10-20mm F4 G. “I was able to take advantage of the wide angle of view without limiting the composition I wanted to capture. And although the lens is small, the resolution is high.”
What makes this lens great is its internal zoom and focus, which means it does not change in length when zooming or focusing. This creates a stable centre of gravity, ideal for video. Because this lens contains an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) aspherical element, there is high image-wide resolution throughout the 10 to 20mm zoom range.
3 Reel Questions
What are some important points to take note of when creating a reel?
Even though reels are primarily viewed on small screens, I think it’s important to have a camera body capable of shooting 4K60p or higher. To me, 4K picture quality cannot be sacrificed. Also, remember the feeling of the day and experiences as you shoot in LOG, so that you can create the atmosphere you want through colour grading in post.
What should a creator avoid doing when working on a reel?
Be careful not to make reels look too long. The flow of BGM and harmonious editing are more important than unconditionally fast tempo.
Words of encouragement
To inspire others to get out and create, Jong-un advises that “it is important to start creating with a subject that you enjoy rather than one you have not experienced before. It’s best to take a simple approach.”
