MILC Panasonic Lumix G9 II 25.21 MP Live MOS 12-60mm F3.5-5.6 Black

The Panasonic LUMIX G9 II is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera (MILC) equipped with a 25.21 MP Live MOS sensor and a bundled 12–60mm F3.5–5.6 zoom lens. Combining a new image sensor and processing engine with Phase Hybrid AF, the camera targets stills and video shooters who need high-speed performance, precise autofocus and strong mobility in a compact black body weighing approximately 575 g. It supports high resolution images up to 11552 x 8672, ISO up to 25600, 1/32000 s shutter speed and advanced video options including high-frame-rate C4K/4K capture.

Advantages

The LUMIX G9 II delivers fast, accurate autofocus thanks to the series’ first Phase Hybrid AF and advanced AF algorithms, enabling continuous shooting up to 60 fps with AFC while maintaining a blackout-free viewfinder. Its new image sensor and engine improve tonal gradation and shadow detail for RAW capture. Built-in stabilisation (up to 8.0-stop B.I.S. and up to 7.5-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 with compatible lenses) supports handheld shooting in low light and at telephoto reach. Additional features such as LEICA Monochrome and REAL TIME LUT expand creative control for stills and video, including high-frame-rate 10-bit 120p/100p recording for slow-motion.

Suitable for

• Action and sports photography requiring fast continuous AF and high burst rates
• Wildlife and motor sports where mobility and telephoto stabilisation are needed
• Portrait and landscape photographers who need high-resolution RAW files
• Content creators and videographers using 4K/C4K and high-frame-rate slow-motion

How to use

Mount a compatible Micro Four Thirds lens (a 12–60mm lens is included) and set basic exposure parameters via the mode dial or use one of the camera’s automated modes for quick shooting. Use the 8-directional joystick to position the AF area and enable Phase Hybrid AF for fast subject acquisition. For action sequences, enable AFC and select a high burst rate to capture continuous frames; the electronic viewfinder remains blackout-free during burst shooting. Apply REAL TIME LUT when you want to preview and record a graded look, or select LEICA Monochrome to capture high-contrast black-and-white images. Enable image stabilisation or Dual I.S. 2 when shooting handheld in low light or at telephoto focal lengths.

Usage recommendations

For best results in fast-paced photography, use a fast memory card and select AFC with pre-burst when timing is critical. Pair the camera with compatible stabilized lenses to maximise Dual I.S. 2 performance. When prioritising image quality, shoot RAW to take advantage of improved tonal gradation and shadow detail from the new sensor and processing engine.
