Panasonic ET-EMW400

Overview

The Panasonic ET-EMW400 is a zoom lens designed specifically for PT-MZ16K, PT-MZ13K, and PT-MZ10K LCD laser projectors, enabling users to project large images from short distances. With a focal length range of 15.3 mm to 21.1 mm, it allows for flexible placement closer to the screen while still covering wide image sizes. This lens is ideal for environments where space is limited, such as classrooms, conference rooms, museums, and rental stages.

Its throw ratio ranges from 0.69 to 0.95 to 1 for widescreen formats (16:10 and 16:9), allowing a 100-inch image to be projected from about 5 to 7 feet away. For 4:3 content, the throw ratio adjusts to 0.83 to 1.15 to 1, providing versatility across different screen formats. The motorized zoom and focus system simplifies adjustments after installation, preserving the projector’s brightness and image clarity.

Key features

• Wide throw ratio range supports both widescreen (16:9, 16:10) and standard (4:3) aspect ratios for flexible projection setups
• Fast aperture range (f/1.84 to 2.24) minimizes brightness loss, maintaining vivid colors and high lumen output from compatible projectors
• Quick-swap bayonet mount allows for easy installation and removal, saving time for integrators and event technicians
• Designed to optimize projector placement in tight spaces, making it suitable for rooms with limited ceiling height or depth

Installation and setup

The ET-EMW400’s motorized zoom and focus features allow installers to fine-tune the projected image remotely, eliminating the need to physically access the lens after mounting. This reduces installation time and effort, particularly in ceiling-mounted setups. The lens’s design supports quick swapping, making it practical for technicians who need to adapt projection configurations rapidly.

Ideal uses and environments

This zoom lens fits well in spaces where projector placement options are limited by room size or ceiling height. It is a strong choice for educational institutions, corporate meeting rooms, museums, and rental venues that require large, bright images from short throw distances. Its ability to maintain brightness and clarity makes it suitable for professional presentations and immersive visual displays.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
