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 difficult situations such as shooting with backlight. achieving high-quality 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).
*In 1-Area AF. at wide-end with H-ES12060 (CIPA) in LVF120 fps setting. **For a Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera as of 8 November. 2017.
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).**
*Please update the firmware to version 2.4 or later. **Please update the firmware to version 2.0 or later.
4K 60p/50p 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.
Large Status LCD
For the first time on a LUMIX camera. a status LCD has been added that lets you instantly confirm your settings. Convenient for shooting with frequent settings adjustments. and for simply framing with the viewfinder and rear monitor. Also handy for scenes such as night-time shots. when the light of the rear monitor bothers you.
6.5-stop Dual I.S. 2
Our Dual I.S 2 technology makes it so much easier to get sharp photos and stable video even when performing handheld photography with long telephoto lenses or using long shutter speeds. With 6.5-stop compensation including up to the 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.**
*Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=140mm (35mm camera equivalent f=280mm) when H-FS14140 is used. **Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=60mm (35mm camera equivalent f=120mm) when H-ES12060 is used.
