Panasonic introduces the new LUMIX S9, the smallest and lightest Full-Frame mirrorless camera in the LUMIX S Series. It is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding content creators, available in jet black, crimson red, dark olive and midnight blue.

The LUMIX S9 features a full-frame CMOS sensor of approximately 24.2 megapixels (equivalent to the LUMIX S5II camera sensor) and the latest image capture processor from PANASONIC, ensuring images full of detail and with the most natural tones. In addition, the camera is equipped with PDAF (Phase Detection Auto-Focus), phase detection autofocus for much more accurate tracking focus. In addition, thanks to the dual image stabilizer and the possibility of using the electronic stabilizer, the Lumix S9 allows you to eliminate shaky images as much as possible, also allowing you to make videos even while walking.

The LUMIX S9 offers a wide variety of possibilities with proposals such as the real-time TIME LUT function, with which users can enjoy a wide variety of color styles directly on the camera with the new direct "LUT" button.

The new LUMIX Lab app allows you to create your own custom LUT files on smartphones, as well as edit your photos and videos without editing them on your computer for quick sharing. And in addition, in the LUMIX Lab application, you can share the color curves "LUTs" and download the "looks" of other users. The app also makes it easy to quickly transfer photos and videos from the camera to your smartphone in a convenient and more streamlined way.

The new LUMIX S9 features the new MP4 Lite recording format, which allows you to record high-quality Open Gate videos at 4:2:0 10-bit in 30p/25p. In this way, the transfer of video files to our smartphone will be faster and more agile. In addition, thanks to open gate recording, resizing aspect ratios to adapt to social media formats with the LUMIX Lab application will be much easier and we will make better use of the sensor surface. In this sense, the new streamlined editing workflow facilitates the process of sharing content and simplifies the work of content creators and photographers.
