The Panasonic Lumix G9 II Mirrorless Camera is designed for content creators needing strong stills performance and sophisticated video options. Providing outstanding image quality with rich tonal gradations and excellent color reproduction, this updated camera is equipped with a host of new features to bring your vision to life. The camera also boasts 75 fps burst shooting with a pre-burst shooting function, which allows you to go back in time up to 1.5 seconds, so you can capture the perfect moment. The G9 II comes equipped with a 25.2MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor and an updated processor to create sharp, detailed stills and cinematic-quality DCI 4K and UHD 4K video. This configuration maximizes resolution while keeping noise to a minimum, delivering realistic color tones and lifelike three-dimensional imagery. Additionally, the G9 II features a handheld high-res mode that compiles multiple exposures to create a single 100MP raw or JPEG file. Beyond stills shooting, the G9 II is a highly-capable video camera featuring up to DCI 4K and UHD 4K 60p unlimited recording with 4:2:2 10-bit color, and for videographers who want to create high-resolution slow-motion video, the camera also supports C4K/4K 120p video capture with 4:2:0 10-bit color. Simplifying the conversion process from anamorphic videos to vertical videos for social media, the Frame Marker function lets you record video while imagining the angle of view when cropping in post-production.AWB Lock mode locks in auto white balance to optimize efficiency in situations where the light source is variable indoors due to a mixture of artificial and natural light, or in situations where manual settings based on color temperature would have been required. An advanced Focus Transition function automatically shifts the focus point at a constant speed for precise in-focus to out-focus points to give you the impressive rack focus motion picture effect. With the Lumix G9 II, recording and playback are supported using an external SSD via USB. Additionally, you have the ability to record ProRes 422 HQ and 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra directly to an SSD, which combines portability and high capacity for improved efficiency in data backup and post-processing. The G9 II is the first Lumix G-series mirrorless camera to adopt a Phase Hybrid AF system, which offers 779 phase-detection points to provide fast and precise focusing for outstanding AF accuracy. When it comes to autofocus, dependability is the most important thing, and with Phase Detection AF you can fully supplement and track the subject in six different situations that until now had been a challenge for conventional systems to capture. Whether shooting stills or video, this means the G9 II persistently captures the intended subject in difficult scenes involving multiple people in backlit or low-light environments. Helping to achieve the utmost sharpness when working handheld, Dual I.S. 2 combines the camera's 8-stop-rated 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization technology with lens-based 2-axis image stabilization to compensate for a broader range of movement types to render sharper, clearer imagery. Dual I.S. 2 requires the use of compatible Lumix lenses featuring O.I.S. When working with adapted lenses, you can manually select whether to use the in-camera sensor-shift image stabilization or the lens's optical stabilization. New Active I.S. mode that corrects for camera shake when shooting on the move. Additionally, an improved E.I.S. system corrects for even larger camera shakes during running situations. Dynamic Range Boost setting creates a real-time HDR composition with a single exposure to rival the image quality of a full-frame camera. A high-resolution 3.68m-dot OLED EVF offers a clear 0.8x magnification along with a smooth 60 fps or 120 fps changeable refresh rate. The large 3.0" 1.84m-dot LCD is a bright, clear means for live view shooting as well as playback and menu navigation. The screen features a free-angle design to suit working from high, low, and front-facing angles, and its touchscreen design affords intuitive settings control. Dual SD memory card slots - both UHS-II-compatible - offer improved flexibility for image storage, allowing you to designate raw and JPEG files to different cards, save duplicate files to both cards or simply double your storage space with overflow recording.
The Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens from Panasonic is a 24-120mm equivalent zoom designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras. Designed in collaboration with Leica, this versatile lens utilizes four aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements to deliver well-corrected, sharp image quality that is void of color fringing and distortions. The lens also makes use of a linear motor for fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, and the POWER Optical Image Stabilizer system helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Standard zoom for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, this lens provides a 24-120mm equivalent focal length range. Linear autofocus motor delivers fast AF performance that is also precise, smooth, and near-silent to benefit both stills and video applications. Splash, dust, and freezeproof design benefits working in inclement weather conditions.
