Other Camera Features
The Panasonic Lumix G97 Hybrid Mirrorless Camera with 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens builds on the Lumix G95’s strengths by introducing USB-C power and data connectivity, a higher-resolution OLED touchscreen, and Bluetooth 5.0 for faster, more reliable wireless performance. Maintaining its predecessor’s 20.3MP Live MOS sensor, five-axis Dual I.S. 2 stabilization, and UHD 4K video recording, the G97 is ideal for hybrid shooters seeking compact, high-performance gear. Its 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor, paired with the enhanced Venus Engine processor, delivers sharp, detailed stills and UHD 4K video with minimal noise, supporting ISO sensitivities up to 25600 and continuous shooting rates of up to 9 fps with AF-S or 6 fps with AF-C. UHD 4K video can be recorded internally at 30p with 8-bit 4:2:0 sampling or externally via micro-HDMI with 4:2:2 sampling. Pre-installed V-Log L enables flat, neutral gamma for flexible grading, and Full HD slow-motion recording at 60 fps adds creative versatility. Dual I.S. 2 combines 5-axis sensor-shift stabilization with lens-based IS for up to five stops of shake correction, ensuring sharp handheld shots. The durable magnesium alloy body is splash- and dust-resistant, while the high-resolution 2.36m-dot OLED Live View Finder and free-angle 3.0-inch OLED touchscreen (1,840K-dot resolution) offer clear, flexible composition options. A 290-shot lithium-ion battery, extendable to 1,050 shots in Power Save LVF mode, supports USB-C in-camera charging. Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy enable wireless image sharing, remote control, and geolocation, while the USB-C port allows faster data transfer. Leveraging its video power, 4K PHOTO modes let you capture 8MP stills at 30 fps in Burst, Pre-Burst, or Burst (S/S) modes for capturing split-second moments. The 49-area Depth-From-Defocus (DFD) AF system ensures fast, accurate autofocus performance, with face/eye detection for precise portrait shots and AF sensitivity down to -4 EV for low-light scenes. Manual focus is enhanced with focus peaking and 20x MF Assist magnification for precision. The versatile Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. lens delivers a 24-120mm equivalent focal range with aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements for sharp, clear images, while its POWER O.I.S. system works seamlessly with Dual I.S. for effective stabilization. Additional features include a mechanical shutter with a top speed of 1/4000 sec, electronic shutter up to 1/16,000 sec, live view composite recording for high-contrast long exposures, and extensive creative tools such as Photo Styles (including V-Log L, Cinelike D, and Monochrome options) and Filter modes (e.g., Dynamic Monochrome, Retro, Soft Focus, and Toy Effect) for versatile stills and video production. |
