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.

Features of the PANASONIC 12-35mm f2.8 lens

With great mobility, the LUMIX GX VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8 ASPH. / POWER OIS offers a versatile zoom range of 12-35mm (35mm camera equiv. 24-70mm) and f2.8 brightness throughout the zoom range. This lens is ideal for a variety of occasions, from daily snapshots including landscapes such as sunsets or low light to indoor photos to make very creative photos. In the high-performance X lens, all of PANASONIC's optical technologies crystallize. Its excellent image rendering produces realistic textures and natural environments with remarkable transparency.

The PANASONIC Nano Surface coating technology is adopted to minimize reflection over the entire visible light range (380nm-780nm) by applying the extra-low index refractive layer with a nano-sized structure on the lens surface. The result is a super-clear image with dramatic reduction in reflections.

The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) has twice the power repression compared to the MEGA OIS. It is particularly effective for low-frequency vibration, found when pressing the shutter button or when shooting at night with a slow shutter speed. This improves the quality of photos taken at night or indoors, where the flash cannot be used, or if the photographer does not want to use the flash as it would spoil the context. Capture beautiful photos in situations where it was previously very difficult.

The new lens system uses 4 aspherical lenses, 1 UED lens and a UHR lens in 14 lenses spread over 9 groups that account for exceptional compactness, while maintaining image quality. When mounted on LUMIX G Micro System cameras, the LUMIX GX VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8 ASPH. / POWER OIS can take full advantage of the contrast AF system, which takes advantage of both high accuracy and high shooting speed. It should be noted that AF performance is very superior to the AF phase difference when using the lens with a smaller F-value.

The G X LUMIX VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8 ASPH lens. / POWER OIS is recommended for recording videos. In addition to its ability to use autofocus for movie recording, it has a quiet design that eliminates noise from lens registers and sounds clearer.

Features PANASONIC 35-100mm f2.8 lens

All the optical technology of PANASONIC is present in this new telephoto lens that achieves extraordinary images with extremely realistic textures and sharp contrasts. For example, it has the technology of nanometric coating of the surface of the lenses (Nano surface coating), to minimize the ghost images that appear due to the reflection of light within the optics

The new LUMIX G lens has a high focusing speed and brightness of f2.8 throughout the focal length. In addition, thanks to the wide zoom range, this lens is very practical and versatile. It allows you to capture from portraits or close-ups with blurred backgrounds to moving subjects (for example sports scenes or animals in their environment) when a higher shutter speed is necessary.

The constant aperture can also be used for video recording. This lens incorporates the POWER O.I.S. optical image stabilizer, which allows you to achieve very sharp images. The stabilizer is designed to compensate for involuntary movements – slow or fast – of the hands, when working freehand. This makes for excellent results even in low light situations such as night or indoor environments. The total length of the lens is fixed; Its size does not vary either by zooming or focusing, thanks to its unique mechanism. The inclusion of a stepper motor makes focusing smooth and quiet, and can be used for both photography and video recording.

The Lumix G X VARIO 35-100mm / f2.8 / POWER O.I.S. is dust and splash resistant, allowing you to continue taking pictures in adverse situations such as rain and wind environments (environments with sand). The lens consists of 18 lenses in 13 groups. Highlights include the UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) lens and the two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses that minimize chromatic aberration and distortion.

Despite its high optical performance, the LUMIX G X VARIO 35-100mm / f2.8 / POWER O.I.S. is exceptionally compact and lightweight: it measures approximately 99.9mm and weighs about 360g in order to provide great mobility.
