Panasonic Lumix G9 Mirrorless Camera with 12-60mm F2.8-4 Lens Kit

Panasonic Lumix G9 Mirrorless Camera with 12-60mm F2.8-4 Lens Kit

20.3MP MOS sensor with AR coating
An AR (Anti Reflection) coating effectively suppresses flare to capture the expression of light as it is, even in a harsh shooting environment surrounded by strong light such as backlight, achieving high-quality visual beauty for both still images and videos.

Ultra-fast autofocus and AFC burst
Panasonic’s innovative DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology is constantly evolving and it’s just got even better. DFD allows the LUMIX G9 to calculate focal lens movement by comparing depth of field values of two images at incredibly high speed. By combining the AF drive with a maximum read speed of 480 fps, the LUMIX G9 can achieve the industry’s fastest level Autofocus in up to 0.04 seconds* and the world’s fastest 20 fps burst shooting with AFC** (60 fps burst shooting with AFS).

Autofocus featuring AI technology
Panasonic’s advanced deep learning technology makes possible the recognition of human faces, eyes, heads,* and bodies, as well as common animals (dogs, cats and birds).

4K 60p/50p smooth video recording
The LUMIX G9 takes outstanding shooting performance to another level with high-precision, silky smooth 4K 60p/50p (QFHD 4K: 3840 x 2160) video recording. The firmware version 2.0 enables 4K 30p/25p/24p 4:2:2 10-bit recording in MOV format and VFR (variable frame rate) recording.

V-Log L recording (optional)
The Upgrade Software Key DMW-SFU1 (sold separately)* and LUMIX G9 firmware version 2.0 enable V-Log L recording. Since V-Log L has the same V-Gamut characteristics as V-Log, LUTs used with V-Log can be used in color grading. And footage from VariCam series cameras can be seamlessly included in the edit.

The largest-level 0.83x OLED LVF in mirrorless camera
A super high-resolution 3,680k-dot OLED LVF (Live View Finder) brings gorgeous visibility and makes for perfect framing even under direct sunlight. The highest-level 0.83x magnification in mirrorless camera category (35 mm camera equivalent) makes it easy to see image detail, your settings and icons, and, the long eye point distance of 21 mm is excellent for people who wear spectacles. Best of all, the OLED LVF ensures your pictures match up to exactly how you intended them.

Large Status LCD
A status LCD that lets you instantly confirm the settings is provided for the first time on a LUMIX camera. Convenient for shooting with frequent settings adjustments, and for simply framing with the viewfinder and rear monitor. Also handy for scenes such as nighttime shots, when the light of the rear monitor bothers you.

6.5-stop Dual I.S. 2
It’s difficult to handhold a camera at the best of times, but don’t fret: with the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 (Image Stabilizer), intelligent compensation comes to your aid. This is the equivalent to 6.5 doublings of exposure duration, meaning you can use a 6.5-stop slower shutter speed up to tele-end.* The LUMIX G9 eliminates shake in both body and lens even at the telephoto setting. It also works in both photo and video recording, including 4K video. The astonishing power of the 5-axis Body I.S. with 6.5-stop compensation power corrects shake for all lenses, even those not equipped with O.I.S.

USB power supply for extended shooting
USB power supply compatibility. Since you can shoot while connected to the battery charger, you don’t need to worry about the remaining battery power and you can concentrate fully on shooting. An essential function for nature shooting where you need to wait patiently for the shot to happen.

Surprisingly detailed 80MP RAW recording
High Resolution mode is capable of 80-megapixel RAW recording. After shooting the 20.3-megapixel sensor 8 times, a single image is created. This professional function is widely used for producing exhibits.
