- General
- Brand: Panasonic
- Model Number: DC-G9KBODY
- Product Name: LUMIX G9 Mirrorless 4K Photo Digital Camera (Body Only) - DC-G9KBODY
- Color: Black
- Camera Model Family: Panasonic G9
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: NMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm)
- Image Resolution (Display): 5184 x 3888 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): false (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 60 - 1/32000 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Rate: 20 frames per second
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
- White Balance Modes: Incandescent; cloudy; flash; daylight; shade; 2500K - 10000K (100K steps) (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 20.3 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Micro Four Thirds
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: false
- External Flash Mount: Hot Shoe (A cold shoe is a mounting point on top of a camera to securely attach a flash unit or other compatible accessories. A hot shoe is a cold shoe with an electrical connection that insures communication and synchronization between camera and accessory.)
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Screen Resolution: 1,040,000 pixels (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording at 60 fps (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)

Great Partner to Oly
I gave this 4 stars only to catch Pany's attention. It can easily be 5 stars. This is the cousin to the Oly em1.2. I dont change lenses. In my camera backpack for NICA mountain bike races the pany is for 12 to 35 zoom and video and Oly has the 40to150 f2.8. PRO: -Configurable autofocus pattern. Not on Oly -In ap priority minimum shutter speed can be set.(like Oly) -Exp comp is good. Push button and dial. (oly is direct dial) -Easy to tweek the custom settings and store. Oly is harder. -Direct access to HDR on configurable button like Oly - A lever for man, continuous and single shot focus. Good for run and gun. CONS: -Depth by Defocus contrast autofocus is good. Oly has phase detect. -No mic power. mic must have batteries. Oly supplies power. -menus can be long scrolls. Oly has menus sectioned better. -No Pany PC software for raw files. Oly does. -No dedicated Back Button Focus like Oly. Must be configured. Canon does have direct BBF. WISH LIST Apart from listed cons: -Add an extra dial or two (like Fuji). - one or two more configurable physical buttons - improve dynamic range. Stay out of the megapixel war Since I cannot edit this after submitting, I will use comments to add more to this. Bottom Line: Happy Owner

Still photo MONSTER
I'm coming to the Panasonic G9 as someone already bought into the micro-4/3 system, and who already owns a good selection of lenses and accessories. My previous camera was a Panasonic G85, so I had a good idea of what to expect. Fast autofocus with Depth from Defocus on Panasonic lenses, quick standard contrast detect autofocus with Olympus lenses. It's not magic, it won't focus as fast as your phase-detect Canon EOS 7D, but it's about as fast a contract-detect camera as you can get - similar to the Olympus E-M1. Huge, bright, clear viewfinder - enormous compared to the finders on the G7/G85. Decent eye relief for us glasses-wearers, and includes diopter adjustments. Multiple custom white balance settings - very handy if you're shooting an event with multiple "scenes," like a wedding ceremony or sports event with uneven lighting. Super-responsive shutter release - took some getting used to how sensitive the shutter release button is compared to other cameras I've used over the years - found myself shooting when I thought I was just focusing. Great from the perspective of "getting the shot", but requires an adjustment period. Very minimal shutter lag. Most of the other good points about this camera can be read out of the specs sheet, but in summary, it's the first micro-4/3 camera I've used that "feels" like a professional tool, rather than a really nice camera for enthusiasts.
