Overview
Featuring a powerful sensor and updated processing engine, the Panasonic LUMIX G9 II Mirrorless Camera is built for content creators who need strong stills performance alongside sophisticated video options. It's paired here with the Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens, a wide-angle-to-short-telephoto zoom giving a 24-120mm full-frame-equivalent range developed in collaboration with Leica. Together the two form a well-rounded Micro Four Thirds kit that stays compact and travel-friendly while covering fast-moving stills, high-resolution video and everyday handheld shooting.
Highlights
- A 25.2MP sensor and Handheld High-Res mode combine for sharp stills up to 100MP.
- The first G-series Phase Hybrid AF system uses 779 points with AI-powered recognition.
- Unlimited C4K/4K 60p 10-bit video is joined by 120p slow-motion capture.
- 8-stop 5-axis stabilization with Dual I.S. 2 keeps handheld stills and video sharp.
- A weather-sealed magnesium alloy body suits demanding shooting conditions.
25.2MP Sensor and 100MP High-Res Mode
The 25.2MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor and updated processor deliver sharp, detailed stills and cinematic C4K/UHD 4K video with rich tonal gradations and accurate colour. A Handheld High-Res mode compiles multiple exposures into a single 100MP raw or JPEG file, and the first-ever G-series Phase Hybrid AF system uses 779 phase-detection points with AI-powered recognition technology that detects cars, motorcycles and animal eyes for improved subject tracking.
Video Shooting Assist Functions
- Frame Indicator surrounds the frame with a red border while recording to help avoid missed takes.
- Frame Marker previews an anamorphic-to-vertical crop for social media reframing in post.
- AWB Lock holds auto white balance steady under mixed artificial and natural light.
- Vertical Position Information records whether footage was shot vertically.
- Focus Transition automatically shifts the focus point at a constant speed for a rack-focus effect.
C4K/4K 60p Video with Pro-Level Options
Unlimited DCI/UHD 4K 60p recording with 4:2:2 10-bit colour is joined by C4K/4K 120p slow-motion capture at 4:2:0 10-bit, along with pre-installed V-Log for roughly 13+ stops of dynamic range. Recording and playback via an external SSD over USB is supported, including ProRes 422 HQ and 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra capture, and Real Time LUT streamlines on-set colour grading with support for .CUBE, .VLT and .TXT formats for real-time V-Log View Assist.
Phase Hybrid AF System
779 phase-detection points give the G9 II fast, precise focusing for outstanding AF accuracy, whether shooting stills or video. The system is designed to persistently track subjects through six previously-challenging scenarios, including multiple people in backlit or low-light environments.
5-Axis Stabilization with Dual I.S. 2
8-stop-rated 5-axis sensor-shift stabilization combines with lens-based 2-axis O.I.S. in compatible LUMIX lenses for Dual I.S. 2 correction across a broad range of movement, while Boost I.S. and an improved Active I.S. mode further steady handheld and walking video shots.
Powerful Photographic Features
A Leica Monochrome photo style delivers rich black-and-white images, while Dynamic Range Boost creates a real-time HDR composite from a single exposure and Live View Composite mode suits nighttime photography of starry skies and fireworks. Pre-burst shooting with 0.5, 1 and 1.5-second settings lets you capture the moment just before the shutter is pressed, and continuous shooting reaches up to 75 fps with the electronic shutter or 14 fps with the mechanical shutter.
Body Design and Connectivity
- Weather-sealed magnesium alloy body with a 3.68m-dot 0.8x-magnification OLED viewfinder.
- 3.0" 1.84m-dot free-angle touchscreen and an 8-direction joystick for quick control.
- Dual UHS-II SD card slots support overflow or backup recording.
- USB-C port handles fast charging and transfer, alongside a full-size HDMI-A port, 2.5mm remote port and 3.5mm microphone/headphone jacks.
- Bluetooth Low Energy and dual-band Wi-Fi pair with the LUMIX Sync app for remote shooting, image transfer and firmware updates.
Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens
Spanning a useful wide-angle to short-telephoto range, this Leica-developed lens gives a 24-120mm full-frame-equivalent zoom for Micro Four Thirds cameras.
- Four aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements deliver well-corrected, sharp imagery free of colour fringing and distortion.
- A linear motor drives fast, quiet, precise autofocus.
- A POWER Optical Image Stabilizer minimises the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting.
- A durable metal barrel makes the lens splash, dust and freezeproof for demanding conditions.
