Product Description
Powerful Hybrid Performance in a Compact Form
The Panasonic Lumix G97 Hybrid Mirrorless Camera with a 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens builds upon the popular Lumix G95, adding USB-C power and data connectivity, an upgraded high-resolution OLED touchscreen, and Bluetooth 5.0 for enhanced wireless reliability. Retaining the 20.3MP Live MOS sensor, 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 image stabilization, and UHD 4K video capabilities, the Lumix G97 offers exceptional versatility for hybrid shooters in a lightweight, durable design.
High-Resolution Imaging with 20.3MP Live MOS Sensor
Powered by a 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor and the advanced Venus Engine processor, the G97 delivers sharp, detailed stills and UHD 4K video. This configuration reduces noise and supports an expanded ISO range up to 25600. High-speed shooting is possible at up to 9 fps with single AF or 6 fps with continuous AF.
UHD 4K Video Recording
The G97 excels at video capture with UHD 4K recording at 30p (8-bit 4:2:0 internal or 4:2:2 external via micro-HDMI). The included V-Log L profile provides a flat gamma curve for flexible post-production grading. Additional video features include slow-motion Full HD at 60 fps and both a 3.5mm headphone jack and microphone input for improved audio quality.
5-Axis Dual Image Stabilization
Combining sensor-shift and lens-based stabilization, Dual I.S. 2 compensates for up to five stops of camera shake. This ensures sharper images and smoother videos, even when shooting handheld or in low-light conditions. Dual I.S. 2 is compatible with select Lumix lenses featuring optical stabilization.
Enhanced Body Design with Wireless Connectivity
- OLED Live Viewfinder: Features a 2.36m-dot resolution and 0.74x magnification for precise, eye-level composition.
- 3.0" OLED Touchscreen: The free-angle LCD has an upgraded 1.84m-dot resolution and a tilt-swivel design, perfect for shooting from creative angles or composing selfies.
- Rugged Build: The magnesium alloy body is splash- and dust-proof, ensuring durability in challenging conditions.
- USB-C Port: Enables in-camera charging and fast data transfer.
- Bluetooth 5.0 & Wi-Fi: Seamlessly share photos or control the camera remotely using your smartphone or tablet. Bluetooth LE provides continuous connectivity for geotagging and automatic image transfer.
4K PHOTO Modes
Harnessing the G97’s 4K video capabilities, three burst modes let you capture 8MP stills at 30 fps:
- Burst: Record continuously to freeze fast-moving subjects.
- Pre-Burst: Capture one second before and after pressing the shutter, ensuring you don’t miss the perfect moment.
- Burst (S/S): Extract individual frames from recorded 4K video.
Advanced Autofocus Performance
The 49-Area Depth-From-Defocus (DFD) AF System ensures fast and accurate focusing by calculating subject distance in real-time. Face and eye detection further enhance portrait photography by prioritizing critical focus areas. Low-light AF works down to -4 EV, and focus peaking provides precise manual focus control with intuitive touch-to-focus options.
Included Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
This versatile zoom lens (24-120mm equivalent) is ideal for a wide range of scenarios, from landscapes to portraits. Its POWER O.I.S. system pairs with the camera’s stabilization for sharper handheld shots. The optical design includes aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements, ensuring minimal aberrations and excellent clarity.
Creative and Professional Features
- Shutter Options: A mechanical shutter reaches speeds of 1/4000 sec, while an electronic shutter achieves 1/16,000 sec for bright conditions.
- Live View Composite: Ideal for long exposures, it combines multiple shots to create well-exposed images of high-contrast scenes.
- Photo Styles: Includes options like Standard, Vivid, Monochrome, and Cinelike D/V for versatile shooting styles.
- Creative Filters: Choose from Retro, Dynamic Monochrome, Miniature Effect, Star Filter, and more for unique visual effects.
Designed for Hybrid Shooters
The Panasonic Lumix G97 blends powerful features with an intuitive design, making it a reliable companion for photographers and videographers alike. Compact, rugged, and versatile, it’s ready to tackle any creative challenge, whether in the studio or on the go.
