Lumix G9 II (Body)

Panasonic Lumix G9 II

The Lumix G9 II features a top-of-the-range 25.2-megapixel Live MOS sensor, designed for superior resolution and lightning-fast response. Coupled with a newly developed engine, this camera produces images of remarkable detail and three-dimensional texture. Plus, the sensor supports V-Log/V-Gamut, giving you an impressive 13+ stops of wide dynamic range. This allows you to capture stunning images with both shadows and highlights perfectly preserved.

AI Autofocus with Hybrid PDAF Technology

Utilising a sophisticated hybrid PDAF technology, the camera boasts highly accurate autofocus and swift subject tracking. The real game-changer is the integration of AI-powered recognition algorithms, which have been meticulously developed through deep learning. This new technology can recognise fast-moving subjects such as cars, motorcycles, and even animal eyes, ensuring unparalleled focusing precision.

Fast Burst Shooting

The Lumix G9 II offers burst shooting at an astounding 60 fps in AFC mode for those who wish to capture high-action scenarios. The Super High-Speed pre-burst recording feature ensures you never miss a moment, starting capture 1.5 seconds before shutter release. This also includes support for RAW files, providing professionals with extensive editing options.

Impressive Stabilisation

The Lumix image stabilisation system further enhances the G9 II, offering photographers an extraordinary 8-stop stabilisation at a 60mm focal length. Videographers will particularly appreciate the Active I.S. technology, optimised for video recording, which delivers smooth, gimbal-like stabilisation. Furthermore, the Dual I.S 2 system provides a 7.5-stop stabilisation at a 140mm (280mm, 35mm equivalent) ultra-telephoto focal length, allowing for incredibly sharp, handheld shots even at extreme zoom levels.

Creative Versatility

The camera provides a plethora of creative modes to unleash your artistic vision. The 13+ stop V-Log/V-Gamut capture offers consistent colour management and easier post-production. The addition of in-camera colour grading via REAL TIME LUT significantly streamlines workflow. A new feature, the LEICA Monochrome mode, delivers rich black-and-white contrasts, enhancing the artistic possibilities.

Live View Composite Mode

This mode allows photographers to monitor exposure in real-time, enabling precise control for long-exposure photography, such as light trails or light painting. Set the desired exposure and view the image being exposed in real-time; once satisfied, press the shutter again to finalise the exposure.

Video Recording Excellence

The Lumix G9 II serves as a robust video creation platform, offering many recording options, such as 4:2:0 10-bit 5.8K and 5.7K, as well as C4K/4K at 120p/100p. With support for Apple ProRes video, the camera provides high image quality at low compression ratios, allowing for easier post-production workflow.

Additional Accessories

An optional battery grip, DMW-BG1E, is available, featuring an eight-direction joystick for enhanced camera control. This grip is also compatible with the existing LUMIX S5II and S5IIX models.
