Powerful Hybrid Performance, Compact Design
The Panasonic Lumix G97 Mirrorless Camera with 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens upgrades the versatile Micro Four Thirds Lumix G95 camera with USB-C power and data connectivity, a higher resolution rear OLED touchscreen, and Bluetooth 5.0 for faster and more reliable wireless connectivity. Retaining the 20.3MP Live MOS sensor, five-axis Dual I.S. 2 image stabilization, and UHD 4K video of its predecessor, the Lumix G97 is an attractive tool for hybrid shooters seeking powerful performance in a compact design.
20.3MP Digital Live MOS Sensor and Venus Engine
Optimized for high-speed, high-resolution imaging, the G97 features a 20.3MP Light MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor and an enhanced Venus Engine processor to create sharp, detailed stills and UHD 4K video. This configuration maximizes resolution while keeping noise to a minimum, permitting the use of sensitivities up to ISO 25600. It is also quick, enabling continuous shooting rates of up to 9 fps with AF-S and 6 fps with AF-C.
UHD 4K Video Recording
Supplementing the camera’s stills capabilities is UHD 4K video recording at up to 30p with an 8-bit color depth and 4:2:0 sampling while recording internally. Alternatively, external recording is supported via micro-HDMI with 4:2:2 sampling and 8-bit color depth. V-Log L has been pre-installed on this camera and is used to capture a flat, neutral gamma curve well-suited for grading. Slow motion video is available with support for 60 fps in Full HD resolution. Additionally, both a 3.5mm headphone jack and 3.5mm microphone input are available for improving audio capture.
5-Axis Image Stabilization and Dual I.S. 2
Helping to achieve the utmost sharpness when photographing handheld, Dual I.S. 2 combines the G97’s 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization technology with lens-based image stabilization to compensate for up to five stops of camera shake along with a broader range of movement types to render sharper, clearer imagery. Dual I.S. 2 requires the use of compatible Lumix lenses featuring O.I.S.
