Panasonic Lumix DC-G97 housing

Robust photo & video all-rounder

An OLED viewfinder combined with a freely swiveling
touchscreen make it easy to compose images even from unusual angles. For videographers, it offers 4K 30p without time limit, full HD slow motion and time-lapse, microphone and headphone connection and Vlog-L recording. The 4K photo modes offer room for additional
creativity. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi make it easy to share images on the go and the USB charging function enables charging with a universal USB-C cable.

First-class image quality

The 20.3 MP CMOS sensor in combination with the Venus Engine processor delivers first-class image quality with vibrant colors and sharp details.

Thanks to the LUMIX Photo Style function, users can refine their images with a variety of color effects, ensuring that every shot matches their creative vision.

The Live View Composite function is also included, offering the ability to combine multiple exposures in real time to create stunning light trails, star trails or illuminated scenes without overexposing the background.

Smooth performance

The 5-stop 5-axis Dual I.S.2system on the LUMIX G97 provides unparalleled stability to keep photos and videos sharp even in challenging conditions, while

the 4K photo function lets you capture high-resolution photos at 30 frames per second, ensuring you never miss a fleeting moment: The perfect shot from continuous shooting - ideal for fast-moving subjects or spontaneous scenes.

Versatile video functions

Razor-sharp recordings in 4K at 30p can be made without a time limit. Slow-motion (4X) or time-lapse (8X) recordings are possible in FHD. Cinematic content is possible with 12 f-stops V-Log L. Headphone and microphone connections ensure full audio control during recording.

Intuitive operation and reliable design

The touchscreen with 1.84 mill. pixels and the 2,360-point OLED Live View Finder, the LUMIX G97 makes it easy to precisely determine the image section and focus, even in bright lighting conditions.

The rugged, dust and splash-proof design is ideal for creatives looking for a camera that can reliably handle a variety of situations.

Built-in Bluetooth® v5.0 makes sharing and remote control effortless, while USB Type-C charging adds convenience.

Panasonic Leica DG Nocticron 42.5mm 1:1.2 Asph. OIS

Precision and speed that are second to none

For this lens, with a remarkably high speed of F1.2, LEICA Camera AG has redefined the name "NOCTICRON". The classic medium telephoto focal length of 42.5 mm (85 mm KB) is ideal for portrait photography. The large aperture allows the targeted use of shallow depth of field. The 9 blades create a round aperture, which ensures a particularly beautiful bokeh in the out-of-focus areas of the image. The aperture ring on the metal barrel allows direct, intuitive control of the aperture setting.

LEICA DG lens - ultimate optics

More than just a lens: the Panasonic Leica DG Nocticron 42.5 mm f/1.2

ASPH

. POWER O.I.S. Lens with Lens Care Kit from B&H bundles the portrait-format prime lens with 67mm UV filter.

The Leica DG Nocticron 42.5 mm f/1.2 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. from Panasonic is an 85 mm equivalent prime lens for mirrorless Micro Four Thirds cameras. The high speed of 1:1.2 benefits work in difficult lighting conditions and offers more control over the focus position to create images with shallow depth of field. The optical design of the lens consists of a pair of aspherical elements, a UHR element and an extra-low dispersion element to reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations to improve sharpness and clarity. In addition, a Nano Surface Coating improves contrast and color fidelity by reducing flare and ghosting

. Complementing the optical properties, this lens also features a POWER optical image stabilizer that minimizes camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. A stepping AF motor and internal focus design also provide fast and virtually silent focusing performance that is ideal for both photo and video applications.

The portrait focal length lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and offers an 85mm equivalent focal length. The exceptionally fast maximum aperture of f/1.2 offers remarkable control over depth of field for working with selective focusing techniques and also benefits low-light shooting.
Two aspherical elements and an ultra-high refractive index element reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and precise reproduction, while

an extra-low dispersion element controls chromatic aberrations and color fringing for greater clarity and color accuracy.
A nano surface coating minimizes surface reflections across the visible spectrum for consistent contrast and color fidelity with a significant reduction in flare and ghosting.

An internal focusing system, coupled with a step-controlled AF motor, ensures fast, smooth and precise focusing performance suitable for both still and movie shooting. The POWER optical image stabilizer (O.I.S.) minimizes camera shake and ensures sharper images when shooting handheld. The metal lens barrel is equipped with a special MF/AF switch and an aperture ring for direct, intuitive operation. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.
