 All PANASONIC G9 INFO

PANASONIC has taken a different approach to camera development with the DC-G9 Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless mirrorless camera, which has a variety of newly developed features and functions that will appeal to photographers. The combination of a 20.3MP Live MOS sensor and the latest Venus Engine processor is critical to the imaging process, enabling the capture of sharp images and video with sensitivities ranging up to ISO 25600. Extremely fast speeds are also available with up to 60fps continuous shooting with the electronic shutter function. If you want to record video along with still images, the G9 is very accommodating, offering 4K UHD up to 60p.

This improved speed is seen in many different aspects, including an improved Depth-from-Defocus autofocus system with 225 areas for fast and accurate focusing throughout the frame. A rear joystick has also been implemented for intuitive control over the current focus point. Another benefit of enhanced processing is the inclusion of 6K PHOTO at 30fps and 4K PHOTO at up to 60fps, allowing users to capture 18MP or 8MP images, respectively, at exceptional frame rates. Beyond speed, the 5-axis sensor stabilization system supports Dual I.S. 2.0 and can compensate for up to six stops of camera movement. And a significant addition made possible with this new system is a multi-shot mode that captures eight separate images and compiles them into a single 80MP RAW image.

Not only has performance been optimized, as the G9 has a redesigned body that is splash, dust and freeze resistant. The body gets a superior status LCD display for quick access to essential settings without needing to check the LCD or viewfinder, which have also been improved. Most notably, the OLED viewfinder has been enhanced with a magnification of 0.83x and a resolution of 3.68m dots. The EVF has a refresh rate of 120 fps and a lag-free display. In addition, the LCD screen is now a 3.0" 1.04m free-angle touch screen to work intuitively and at odd angles.

Features Panasonic 12 mm f 1.4 ASPH 

Its optical design employs a pair of aspherical elements, two ultra-low dispersion elements, and an extra low dispersion element in order to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for a high degree of definition and clarity from edge to edge. Benefiting optical assets, this lens also incorporates a smooth and quiet autofocus motor that fits well into the two still images and video recording, and a manual AF/MF switch lends direct focus mode adjustment for more intuitive handling. In addition, the metal construction of the lens is also weatherproof in order to work in treating environmental conditions. Pairing LEICA 's design legacy with PANASONIC's technological innovation, this versatile first wide-angle is therefore distinguished by its optical merits, as well as intuitive handling and contemporary functionality.

• Mirrorless designed for Micro Four Thirds digital cameras, this wide-angle 12mm f/1.4 lens provides an equivalent focal length of 24mm.
• The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is well suited for working in low or difficult lighting conditions, and also offers greater control over the depth of field of selective focus techniques.
• Two aspherical elements are presented in the design of the lenses', which help maintain a compact form factor, as well as help reduce spherical aberrations and distortions.
• Two extra low dispersion (UED) ultra elements and an extra low dispersion (ED) work element to significantly minimize color halos and chromatic aberrations for greater clarity and color fidelity.
• Smooth and near-silent autofocus performance complements video recording applications, while fast operation is beneficial for photographers.
• A manual aperture ring provides touch control over exposure settings and a dedicated AF/MF switch offers a simple and intuitive means of switching between focus modes.
• The metal construction of the lens is durable as well as splash and dust resistant when combined with Lumix Micro Four Thirds cameras to work in harsh environments.
• A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality by making the imagery's shallow depth of field.
