Powerful Imaging Performance

The Panasonic Lumix S9 is a versatile, full-frame camera with a feature set designed to keep up with content creators. A 24.4 megapixel CMOS sensor, equivalent to that seen in the Lumix S5 II, pairs with the latest engine to capture detail-rich images with true-to-life colour. Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF) and Human, Animal, Car, and Motorcycle detection ensure quick and precise real-time autofocusing, letting you track moving subjects even in challenging lighting or when other objects obscure the frame. With a 6.5-stop 5-axis dual I.S.2 (Image Stabiliser) and 5-stop Body I.S., you can shoot hand-held or at slower shutter speeds and still achieve smooth and steady results. Dual Native ISO also supports sharper images in various lighting conditions by suppressing noise. With a 96MP handheld high-res mode, you can also shoot high-quality photos when you cannot access a tripod, as it provides stunning images without the effects of camera shake.

Compact, Portable Body

With its compact, stylish, flat-style design, the S9 is ideal for photographers and filmmakers who want to use their kit while on the go. It weighs 403g with only the shoe cover attached, retaining practical portability without compromising image quality. A 3-inch, 1.84 million dot, free-angle touch screen offers impressive brightness and a wide colour gamut for clear viewing. The convenient free-angle touch screen ensures you can compose low-angle shots or even take selfies, all with a clear view.

Record High-Quality Content With 4K Video

While excellent for capturing stills, the Lumix S9 also excels at video capture, with many incredible features supporting high-definition video. As a hybrid camera, the S9 supports up to C4K/4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 recording with 10-bit colour depth for cinema-quality video. Colour-rich, sharp footage is easily achievable with 14+ stops of V-LOG/V-Gamut for a breathtaking dynamic range and a broad colour spectrum that rivals professional video cameras.

Active I.S. makes highly stable video recording possible by optimising horizontal, vertical, and rotational correction, which is especially beneficial when filming handheld. The S9 also incorporates perspective distortion correction and High mode in the E-Stabilisation (video function) for enhanced shooting stability while walking. Recording options include high-quality slow-motion and quick-motion video, as well as time-lapse and stop-motion, so you can capture video that suits your creative vision. Thanks to the ability to shoot Open Gate in 4:2:0 10 bit in 30p/25p and achieve full sensor recording, creators also have the flexibility to get all aspect ratios from one shot, ready to be cropped, and create high-quality content for posting to social media.

Save Time in Post-Production with Real Time LUT

With the Panasonic Lumix S9’s dedicated button for instant access to Real-Time LUT settings, you can add colour filters to your work. Adding pre-loaded LUTs lets you edit your photos and videos straight out of the camera, saving some time in post-production. No complex editing skills or specialised software are required, and you can apply up to two LUTs simultaneously for maximum creative expression. New features on the S9 include creating unique filters by layering Photo Style and LUT and extending parameter settings for improved creative control. Other notable improvements include automatic identification of Photo Style, added opacity control and grain effect and improved LUT library functionality.
