Pairing the lightweight, convenient full-frame system with the world's lightest zoom, the black Lumix S9 Mirrorless Camera with 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 Lens from Panasonic is the perfect on-the-go camera setup for content creators.

You also have the advantage of choosing from numerous L-mount lenses to suit your needs. Overall, the simplicity and convenience of the S9 makes it an excellent tool for elevating your ability to quickly create and share impactful images.

Getting your photos and videos onto your smartphone quickly is a massive benefit of the S9. With improved connection speed and stability, users are able to easily link their device to the S9 in a few simple steps with the Lumix Lab app.

Real Time LUT (Signature Presets)

Create your own signature presets on your smartphone and transfer them to your S9, so you can apply them to your photos while you're shooting, not after. This gives you a precise idea of what your finished photos or videos will look like and is a massive time saver. You can download creators' LUT from the official Lumix website.

Extend Your Range with Crop and Hybrid Zoom

The crop zoom function utilizes the center of the camera sensor to extend the normal zoom range while maintaining image quality. The hybrid zoom function utilizes both optical and crop zoom to extend the focal length even further.

Used with the Lumix S9's Hybrid Zoom function, the lens can achieve a zoom range of 18-120mm. The lens also benefits video shooters by suppressing focus breathing. In addition to its lightweight and portable design, the lens' construction is dust, splash, and freeze-resistant for use in adverse weather conditions.
