A Camera To Catch Every Moment
The Lumix G9 is the perfect camera for wildlife photography. With the world’s fastest AF* and fastest in-class burst shooting**, capturing the breathtaking beauty of a location like Madagascar is a dream. In this video, wildlife photographer Joakim Odelberg demonstrates how the G9 allows him to respond to photographic opportunities as they happen. See how it can help you capture your passion, whatever you shoot and wherever you go.
*In 1-Area AF, at wide-end with H-ES12060 (CIPA) in LVF120 fps setting. As a Compact System Camera as of November 8, 2017.

The Natural World. In All Its Glory.
Innovative features mean the G9 delivers high-quality images to make your subject shine. A 20.3 megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor combines with the latest Venus processing engine to bring you superb detail, as well as low noise, fantastic colours and brightness.

Focus On What Matters … No Matter How Fast It Moves

Capture every moment thanks to new DFD-Auto Focus with Burst Mode delivering the world’s fastest AF*. Take advantage of advanced tracking performance, shooting at fastest-in-class** 20fps with continuous AF for super-speedy subjects. The focus locks in just 0.04 seconds*** and tracks motion continuously, helping you make the most of those opportunities that appear and disappear in the blink of an eye.

Sharp shots, handheld
Take advantage of the G9’s small size and weight to move with the action. Shoot with confidence thanks to Dual Image Stabilisation* which delivers up to 6.5** stops of compensation for sharp shots in a range of conditions. Lumix G lenses are much more compact than equivalent DSLR lenses, giving you the flexibility to shoot from a distance with a telephoto lens and still keep things crisp.
* 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 works when attaching the lens that are compatible with it. Firmware update of the lens is also required.
** Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=140mm (35mm film camera equivalent f=280mm), when H-FS14140 is used.]
image
Never Miss a Shot with 6K Photo
When speed is of the essence, use the innovative 6K Photo function to catch the unexpected. Shoot a sequence at 30 frames per second, then extract the best moment (in-camera) as an up to 18 megapixel JPEG. Ideal for shooting nature and wildlife, 6K Photo can also be extremely useful for action and sports photography.
image
High-Resolution Mode. When Size Matters.
A new High Resolution Mode delivers 80 megapixel (equivalent) images in both JPEG and RAW - ideal for landscape, macro and nature photographers. Incredible detail and depth is rendered by combining 8 images taken while shifting the sensor - just make sure your subject stays still for the duration of the shot.
image
Perfectly framed
A large and bright viewfinder offers a high magnification ratio of 0.83x, with zero blackout even when shooting at high speeds. Unlike a DSLR’s viewfinder, you can always be sure that what you see is what you get thanks to live updates and a 100% view. Focusing is a breeze thanks to three modes of magnification, too.
image
Reliable and versatile
Shooting in challenging environments means you need your camera to be tough. The Lumix G9 is freeze, splash* and dustproof and has been designed with photographers’ needs in mind. There’s USB charging, Dual SD Card slots with high speed UHS-II / V90 card compatibility, a joystick, status LCD and a large ergonomic grip. Much smaller and lighter than a DSLR, the G9 is ideal for travelling light while still capturing high-quality images.
・Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this camera offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with water.
