Panasonic G9 II + 100-400mm

Features of the G9 II PANASONIC

Lumix G9II, the new flagship model for photography of the Micro Four Thirds range of the company. Equipped with Phase Detection Focusing (PDAF) technology and designed to capture images with incredible speed and improved ergonomics, the new Lumix G9II responds to the needs of the most demanding photographers with world-class results without sacrificing video capabilities.

This new model satisfies the growing need to produce highly creative artistic and photographic works and is capable of generating high resolution and quality images with vivid and intense colors. In addition, a new focusing technology that unites PANASONIC 's expertise in recognition technology and PDAF focusing – a high-speed burst shooting mode that ensures decisive moments are always captured – makes this new model increase its power and performance for high-speed scenes.

The new camera offers great possibilities in various fields of photography, as the system can be combined with the compact and lightweight LUMIX G Micro Four Thirds lenses for maximum flexibility, with a small and very light size, which enhance the user experience. On the other hand, the new 25.2 megapixel Live MOS sensor and its renewed processor produce high-resolution images with exceptional quality and intense color tones, while hybrid PDAF technology allows fast and accurate autofocus, as well as high-speed tracking of the fastest objects.

Also, Lumix's latest release features the ability to run burst shots up to 60fps in AFC mode. In turn, thanks to the improved internal memory of the camera, the Pre-Burst mode has been optimized, allowing you to capture images up to 1.5 s before pressing the shutter release. This function ensures the capture of decisive moments and the realization of up to 133 consecutive images.

LUMIX's popular image stabilization system has been further enhanced, combining B.I.S.'s 8-stop in-body image stabilizer*2 (Body Image Stabilizer), ideal for working with wide-angle lenses, and the 7.5-stop Dual I.S.2 stabilizer*3, the best choice for working with telephoto lenses. In addition, the LUMIX G9II stabilizes 5-axis with advanced Active I.S. for outstanding video image stabilization. Together, these features provide greater versatility for freehand shooting dynamic scenes that previously would have been difficult to capture.

In addition, photographers can enjoy improved monochrome photo styles thanks to the new profile LEICA Monochrome for incredible black and white images and the ability to preview real-time LUTs, which offers a personalized color expression through the use of LUT files with which the user can see the final color result directly on camera.

At the same time, it also incorporates the High Resolution mode of 100 megapixels, selectable directly on the superior camera dial and with freehand work capability, without the need for a tripod. For its part, the Live View Composite mode so demanded by photographers is also incorporated in the LUMIX G9II.

New sensor and revamped processor with built-in PDAF technology

The new Lumix G9II incorporates, as main novelties, a new Live MOS sensor of 25.2 megapixels of high resolution and high-speed response (13+ steps *4 V-Log/V-Gamut, Dynamic Range Boost*5), an optimized processor capable of achieving images with natural and three-dimensional textures to ensure high-speed processing of video with high bit rate and the first implementation in the LUMIX G series of a new technology, powered by AI, for real-time recognition and autofocus that detects cars, motorcycles and animal eyes to improve accuracy in subject recognition.

An ideal camera for those who want to start in the video

Incorporating the most advanced PANASONIC technology, the Lumix G9II offers the ability to record in 4:2:0 10-bit 5.8K (4:3) with full sensor recording and 5.7K (17:9) that allows flexible framing options for various social media formats, as well as 4:2:0 10-bit C4K/4K 120p/100p to generate slow-motion videos.

Apple ProRes*6 video integration delivers high image quality with low compression and optimizes post-production on the computer, while enabling non-linear editing without transcoding, streamlining the workflow of professionals. In addition, it supports recording and playback using an external SSD via USB and incorporates an active I.S. technology that corrects the vibrations generated when recording on the move.

We also highlight the great image stabilization system OIS Power, compatible with the double stabilization function that some cameras have and with which you will get images free of shake and therefore sharper, even when shutters at lower speeds without the help of any type of support, that is, you can work by hand perfectly with the PANASONIC Lens - LEICA  100-400mm, However, if you decide to use monopod or tripod you can use the collar supplied with the lens to have a fair center of gravity, and possibility of turning the camera on it for a quick step between horizontal to vertical photography.
