Panasonic S9 Overview

Stylish, High-Performing, and Travel-Friendly
Pairing the lightweight, convenient full-frame system with a compact, wide-to-tele zoom lens, the black Lumix S9 Mirrorless Camera with 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Lens from Panasonic is the perfect on-the-go camera setup for content creators.

Overall, the simplicity and convenience of the S9 makes it an excellent tool for elevating your ability to quickly create and share impactful images.
Connect and Share Instantly
Getting your photos and videos onto your smartphone quickly is a massive benefit of the S9. With improved connection speed and stability, users are able to easily link their device to the S9 in a few simple steps with the Lumix Lab app.
Real Time LUT (Signature Presets)
Create your own signature presets on your smartphone and transfer them to your S9, so you can apply them to your photos while you're shooting, not after. This gives you a precise idea of what your finished photos or videos will look like and is a massive time saver. You can download creators' LUT from the official Lumix website.
Extend Your Range with Crop and Hybrid Zoom
The crop zoom function utilizes the center of the camera sensor to extend the normal zoom range while maintaining image quality. The hybrid zoom function utilizes both optical and crop zoom to extend the focal length even further.
Lumix S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Lens
Sporting a superb zoom range with uncompromising mobility, the Panasonic Lumix S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S. lens is a wide-to-tele zoom ideal for capturing both portraits and landscapes without having to rely on multiple lenses. The lens' compact construction benefits all-day carry, measuring just 3.7" in length and weighing less than a pound. Featuring one aspherical lens element and four ED elements, the lens is built to uphold image quality and prevent optical aberrations, while a 9-bladed circular diaphragm creates flattering, round bokeh. The lens offers 6.5 stops of 5-axis image stabilization, delivering sharp imagery at considerably low shutter speeds.

Does it take photos or do you need to use a Nikon to do that?
Asked by: s
The Panasonic Lumix S9 Mirrorless Camera is capable of taking photos, but it doesn't have a mechanical shutter. Therefore, the Lumix S9 can't use a flash, and with very fast moving subjects you may get distortion.
