- General
- Brand: Panasonic
- Model Number: DC-G97MK9
- Product Name: LUMIX G97 Compact Hybrid Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless Camera with LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm / F3.5-5.6 lens
- Color: Black
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (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)
- 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.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, MP4, 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): true (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: Electronic 1/16000 (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.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/3.5 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/5.6 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 25600 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Self Timer: true
- Panorama Mode: false
- Effective Pixels: 20.3 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Type: Standard Zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 12 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 60 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Lens Series: Panasonic Lumix G (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
- Lens Model Number: DC-FS12060
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: true
- Video

- Compatibility
- Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Integrated GPS: No
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth, WiFi, None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)

Slightly upgraded G95
Feature packed micro four thirds camera . Panasonic made minor improvements over a six year old midgrade enthusiast grade camera. So there's no need to upgrade from a G95, you won't see much of a refinement, it still uses the same "old" 20.3mp sensor and the same old depth to de-focus autofocus system.
