Compact Design and Superior Imaging
The LUMIX S9 stands out as the smallest and lightest camera in the LUMIX S Series, weighing just 403g (0.89 lb). Despite its compact size, the S9 boasts a powerful 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, the same sensor found in the highly acclaimed LUMIX S5II. This sensor, paired with the latest image processing engine, ensures stunning image quality with rich detail and natural tones.
Advanced Autofocus and Image Stabilization
Equipped with Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF), the LUMIX S9 offers excellent subject tracking, making it easier to capture fast-moving subjects with precision. Additionally, the camera features Panasonic’s industry-leading 5-axis Dual I.S.2 image stabilization technology, which provides up to 6.5 stops of stabilization. This means you can shoot handheld with confidence, even in challenging conditions, and still achieve sharp, clear images.
Creative Control with REAL TIME LUT and LUMIX Lab App
One of the standout features of the LUMIX S9 is its REAL TIME LUT (Look-Up Table) functionality, which allows users to apply custom colour profiles directly in the camera. The new dedicated LUT button provides quick access to these settings, enabling photographers and videographers to experiment with different colour styles on the fly.
In addition to in-camera customization, the new LUMIX Lab app expands creative possibilities by allowing users to develop unique LUT files on their smartphones. These files can be transferred to the camera, enabling seamless integration of personalized colour profiles. The app also facilitates high-speed transfer of photos and videos from the camera to a smartphone, making it easier than ever to share content on social media.
MP4 Lite for Social Media Optimization
The LUMIX S9 introduces a new recording format, MP4 Lite, optimized for social media. This format supports Open Gate 4:2:0 10-bit video recording at 30p/25p, allowing creators to capture high-quality videos that can be easily resized for various social media platforms using the LUMIX Lab app. This streamlined workflow means you can shoot, edit, and share content quickly, without the need for extensive post-production.
