Enabling your passion
Hand-held shooting on the move
8.0-stop B.I.S.
Handheld shooting can be challenging. The LUMIX G9II makes it a bit easier. B.I.S. with 8.0-stop compensation power corrects camera shake, meaning you can use up to 8.0-stop slower shutter speeds.* At telephoto range, where B.I.S. is reduced, 7.5-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 provides powerful compensation,** allowing you to express your creativity without limitations in low-light environments and at telephoto range.
*Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=60mm (35mm camera equivalent f=120mm) when H-ES12060 is used.]
**Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=140mm (35mm camera equivalent f=280mm) when H-FSA14140 is used.]
Intuitive operation
8-directional Joystick
The intuitive, well-calculated layout and the 8-directional joystick, with all shooting buttons concentrated on the right side and the most frequently used buttons, such as the joystick, within reach of the thumb, allow for intuitive operation. The focus area can be intuitively selected with a touch of the thumb. This allows you to take pictures quickly and easily while keeping your focus on the subject.
Viewfinder for excellent color reproduction
3,680k-dot 0.8x LVF
The 3,680k-dot 0.8x live view finder uses a highly responsive, easy-to-see OLED display to capture even fast-moving subjects in fine detail. In addition, the high contrast display (approx. 10,000:1) presents the subject with fine gradations and high clarity throughout.
High outdoor visibility free-angle monitor
1840k-dot 3.0-inch LCD
LUMIX G9II features a 1840k-dot 3.0-inch LCD. With outstanding brightness and a wide color gamut, it offers high visibility for outdoor shoots. Its free-angle touch screen makes it easy to compose high- and low-angle shots, further adding to the convenience and flexibility of the camera.
Tough body for a wide range of weather conditions
Dust/Splash/Freeze resistant
The tough body is ready to take on a variety of challenging shooting environments. The magnesium alloy full die-cast frame is highly durable, while sealing helps protect seam, dial, and button. The camera as a whole is dust- and splash-resistant* and designed for use at temperatures as low as -10 °C. In combination, these features help make shooting both productive and enjoyable in a wide range of weather conditions.
*Dust- and splash-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
Extended battery life: USB power supply
Compatible with USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, allowing you to shoot while charging at high speed, convenient during long shoots in the studio or elsewhere. The battery can be charged while supplying power to the camera* when used in combination with USB Power Delivery standard compliant battery charger model DMW-BTC15 (sold separately).
*Battery must be installed in camera and retain some charge for feature to work.
