The Panasonic LUMIX G9 Camera Body includes cutting-edge technologies such as; 4K video capture with 4:2:2 10-bit and VLogL compatibility, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for faster wireless image transfers. Depth from Defocus autofocusing, combined lens plus camera image stabilization (Dual I.S2), and exposure technologies not possible with traditional DSLRs. Now with exclusive LUMIX 4K / 6K PHOTO Modes, simply select that perfect moment from video to produce printable high-resolution photos. Never miss the moment again with Panasonic LUMIX and the new G9!

Massive 80MP RAW Capture

A high-resolution special mode yields 80-megapixels in RAW recording by shooting the 20.3-megapixel sensor 8 times to create a single image.

Improved Focus Detect and Selective AF

A Joystick Controller on the back can be used to smoothly and intuitively select focus blocks inside the focusing area grid overlay. A new 225-area AF focus detection area massively increased from 49 (conventional LUMIX G cameras) to 225 points. The Custom Multi AF mode enables free selection of blocks inside the 225 focusing area.

Viewfinder Magnification

The viewfinder coverage can be switched to 0.7x, 0.77x, or 0.83x depending on the scene (35mm camera equivalent). Switching is done with the V.MODE button.

Night Mode

When shooting dark scenes like starry skies, this mode suppresses the stimulation of the eyes that are accustomed to the dark. The Live Viewfinder (LVF) and rear monitor can be set separately.

Eliminate Effects of Camera Shake

5-Axis Dual I.S. 2.0 (Image Stabilizer) intelligent compensation yields the equivalent of 6.5-stops in slower shutter speed. Shake is nearly eliminated in both body and lens even at during telephoto shooting. It also works in both photo and video recording, including 4K video. Even lenses not equipped with Optical Image Stabilizers (O.I.S.) can benefit from the LUMIX G9’s in-body image stabilization.

Large Status LCD

A new status LCD instantly confirms the camera's settings. Convenient for shooting with frequent settings adjustments, and for simply framing with the viewfinder and rear monitor. 

Professional Dual SD Card Slots

The LUMIX G9 is equipped with dual SD card slots for larger capacity recording and efficient file arrangement. Relay recording allows for swapping a full card out for an empty card for virtually endless recording. A backup mode allows continuous recording on one card, while starting and stopping recording on the other card. Simultaneous record duplicates recording on both cards.

4K 60p Video and Slow Motion Effects

Outstanding video performance with high-precision, silky smooth 4K 60p recording (QFHD 4K: 3840 x 2160 / MP4) equipped with 4:2:2 10-bit recording mode and VLogL compatibility. Plus high-speed video recording yields a dramatic slow motion effect in 4K (60 fps max. 2x slower with 30p playback) or Full HD (180 fps max. 6x slower with 30p playback) quality.

Fast Access to Custom Setup

A conveniently located function (Fn) Lever lets you quickly switch between precise custom settings. Great for instantly changing from RAW to JPEG, or shooting while switching between color and monochrome.

Bluetooth 4.2 & Wi-Fi 5GHz Controllable

Panasonic LUMIX Image App supports Bluetooth 4.2 (Low Energy Full-Time Camera Connection) for shutter release and video record Start / Stop, then automatically switches to Wi-Fi 5GHz (IEEE802.11ac) for faster image transferring.

High-Performance Shutter

The shutter unit is durable for approx. 200,000 times release. Not only does it offer the highest shutter speed at max. 1/8000 to capture fast-moving 'spur-of-the-moment' shots, but you can achieve impressive de-focus effects with fast aperture lenses under bright light.
