25.2MP Digital Live MOS Sensor & Enhanced Processor
Engineered for high-speed, high-resolution imaging, the G9 II is equipped with a 25.2MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor and an updated processor. This combination produces sharp, detailed stills and cinematic-quality DCI 4K and UHD 4K video while minimizing noise, resulting in realistic color tones and lifelike three-dimensional imagery. Additionally, the G9 II offers a handheld high-res mode that merges multiple exposures to create a single 100MP raw or JPEG file.
4K Video Recording & Video Assistance Functions
Beyond photography, the G9 II excels as a video camera, supporting DCI 4K and UHD 4K 60p unlimited recording with 4:2:2 10-bit color. For videographers seeking high-resolution slow-motion video, the camera offers C4K/4K 120p video capture with 4:2:0 10-bit color. It includes a Frame Indicator function that outlines the frame during recording to prevent mistakes, a Frame Marker function for easy conversion to vertical videos, and an AWB Lock mode for stable white balance in variable lighting conditions. The camera also supports vertical position information and Focus Transition for impressive rack focus effects.
Professional Video Versatility
The G9 II comes pre-installed with V-Log, capturing a neutral gamma curve and providing more than 13 stops of dynamic range for precise color control in post-production. It supports recording and playback using an external SSD via USB, enabling the recording of ProRes 422 HQ and 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra directly to an SSD. This results in outstanding image quality with low compression, streamlining post-production workflows. Real-Time LUT video recording and support for .CUBE, .VLT, and .TXT formats for V-Log View Assist facilitate real-time color grading.
Phase Hybrid AF System
The G9 II is the first Lumix G-series mirrorless camera to employ a Phase Hybrid AF system, offering 779 phase-detection points for fast and precise autofocus. This system ensures dependable autofocus in challenging scenarios, whether capturing stills or videos in backlit or low-light environments.
5-Axis Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization & Dual I.S. 2
The Dual I.S. 2 technology combines 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization with lens-based 2-axis stabilization, delivering sharp, clear images when shooting handheld. This feature requires compatible Lumix lenses with O.I.S. When using adapted lenses, you can choose between in-camera sensor-shift or optical stabilization. The camera also introduces Boost I.S. for video applications, an Active I.S. mode for reducing camera shake during motion, and an enhanced E.I.S. system for correcting larger shakes during running scenarios.
Photographic Excellence
The G9 II includes pre-programmed settings such as the Leica Monochrome photo style for striking black and white images and a Dynamic Range Boost setting for real-time HDR compositions. It offers a Live View Composite mode for capturing starry skies and fireworks and improved pre-burst shooting with various time settings. The camera supports continuous shooting rates of up to 75 fps with the electronic shutter or up to 14 fps with the mechanical shutter.
Camera Body
The camera features a high-resolution 3.68m-dot OLED EVF with 0.8x magnification and a versatile 3.0" 1.84m-dot LCD with a free-angle design for flexible shooting angles. It includes an 8-direction joystick and user-friendly menus for efficient operation. Dual UHS-II-compatible SD memory card slots offer enhanced storage options.
