Panasonic Lumix S9 Mirrorless Camera & Underwater Housing Announcement
Panasonic proudly announces the Panasonic Lumix S9, the smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera in the LUMIX S Series. Available in four colorways–Jet Black, Crimson Red, Dark Olive, and Night Blue–the Panasonic Lumix S9 is a stylish companion for content creators on the go and easily elevates social media content. With the introduction of the Panasonic Lumix S9 to its lineup of cameras, Panasonic aims to bring a new enjoyable shooting experience for creators, making the journey from capturing moments to sharing them with the world seamless and intuitive. We expect Nauticam NA-S9, Ikelite Panasonic S9, Seacam Panasonic S9, and Subal Panasonic S9 underwater camera housings to be available shortly after the camera is released. The approximately 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor is equivalent to that of the Panasonic Lumix S5 II, and the latest engine captures content in rich detail with natural tones. The full-frame sensors also deliver stunning results, even in low-light conditions, and offer cinematic quality with a beautiful bokeh effect. The camera is additionally equipped with PDAF (Phase Detection Auto-Focus), providing excellent subject tracking and Active I.S., significantly reducing blurring from camera shake even when shooting handheld, allowing users to shoot content confidently in any situation and environment. Designed with the creative smartphone user in mind, the Panasonic Lumix S9 also grants users a range of popular, classic, or bespoke color styles in-camera with the popular REAL TIME LUT function via a new dedicated button on the camera body. Furthermore, creators can develop unique LUT color files on their smartphones with the new LUMIX Lab app. Through these features, one can effortlessly generate original and shareable stills and videos without post-production editing on a computer, expanding the scope of creative possibilities. The speed of transferring data from camera to smartphone has also been improved with the new app and the ability to pair it with a LUMIX camera. The Panasonic Lumix S9 also introduces a new recording format: MP4 Lite. Shooting Open Gate in 4:2:0 10 bit in 30p/25p, creators can capture high-quality videos in the optimum smartphone format and easily resize aspect ratios to suit social media with the LUMIX Lab app. This new streamlined editing workflow allows content creators to shoot and share while on the go easily.
