- Beyond stills shooting, the G9 II is a highly-capable video camera featuring up to DCI 4K and UHD 4K 60p unlimited recording with 4:2:2 10-bit color, and for videographers who want to create high-resolution slow-motion video, the camera also supports C4K/4K 120p video capture with 4:2:0 10-bit color.
- Frame Indicator function surrounds the frame with a red border as you record, helping you to avoid mistakes such as forgetting to press the record button.
- Simplifying the conversion process from anamorphic videos to vertical videos for social media, the Frame Marker function lets you record video while imagining the angle of view when cropping in post production.
- AWB Lock mode locks in auto white balance to optimize efficiency in situations where the light source is variable indoors due to a mixture of artificial and natural light, or in situations where manual settings based on color temperature would have been required.
- Vertical Position Information function detects the vertical orientation of the video, allowing you to select whether or not to add the vertical position video information from the menu.
- An advanced Focus Transition function automatically shifts the focus point at a constant speed for precise in-focus to out-focus points to give you the impressive rack focus motion picture effect.
- V-Log has been pre-installed on this camera and is used to capture a flat, neutral gamma curve, and an equivalent 13+ stops of dynamic range provides precise control of color data in post-production, as well as seamless editing with footage shot with VariCam cameras.
- With the Lumix G9 II, recording and playback is supported using an external SSD via USB. Additionally, you have the ability to record ProRes 422 HQ and 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra directly to an SSD, which combines portability and high capacity for improved efficiency in data backup and post-processing.
- Supports ProRes 422 codec delivering outstanding image quality with low compression. This significantly reduces the load on your computer during post-production and allows non-linear editing without transcoding, streamlining your workflow from start to finish.
- Real Time LUT video recording to streamline your workflow and color grading.
- Supports .CUBE, .VLT, and .TXT formats for V-Log View Assist in real time to approximate the final look of your deliverable.
- Helping to achieve the utmost sharpness when working handheld, Dual I.S. 2 combines the camera's 8 stop-rated 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization technology with lens-based 2-axis image stabilization to compensate for a broader range of movement types to render sharper, clearer imagery. Dual I.S. 2 requires the use of compatible Lumix lenses featuring O.I.S. When working with adapted lenses, you can manually select whether to use the in-camera sensor-shift image stabilization or the lens's optical stabilization.
- Designed for video applications, features Boost I.S., a digital image stabilization technology that aids in creating a stable composition when recording from a fixed perspective.
- New Active I.S. mode that corrects for camera shake when shooting on the move. Additionally, an improved E.I.S system corrects for even larger camera shakes during running situations.
- Equipped with several recently-developed pre-programmed settings, the G9 II features the Leica Monochrome photo style, which delivers beautiful creations of black and white scenes.
- Dynamic Range Boost setting creates a real-time HDR composition with a single exposure to rival the image quality of a full-frame camera.
- Live View Composite mode for nighttime photographers capturing starry skies and fireworks.
- Improved pre-burst shooting with 0.5, 1, and 1.5-second settings, allowing you to go back in time to capture those perfect moments.
- Continuous shooting rates of up to 75 fps when using the camera's electronic shutter, or up to 14 fps when using the mechanical shutter
- A robustly-built magnesium alloy body with dust and splash-resistant design accommodates working in harsh weather conditions and trying environments.
- A high-resolution 3.68m-dot OLED EVF offers a clear 0.8x magnification along with a smooth 60 fps or 120 fps changeable refresh rate.
- Large 3.0" 1.84m-dot LCD is a bright, clear means for live view shooting as well as playback and menu navigation. The screen features a free-angle design to suit working from high, low, and front-facing angles, and its touchscreen design affords intuitive settings control.
- An 8-direction joystick and easy-to-use menu design enable quick and efficient operation.
- Dual SD memory card slots - both UHS-II-compatible - offer improved flexibility for image storage, allowing you to designate raw and JPEG files to different cards, save duplicate files to both cards, or simply double your storage space with overflow recording.
- A USB Type-C port allows for fast file transferring as well as high-speed in-camera battery charging. Additionally, an HDMI Type-A port benefits video applications, a 2.5mm port can be used with the optional DMW-RS2 Remote Shutter, and 3.5mm microphone and headphone jacks suit advanced audio recording needs.
- Optional XLR Microphone Adapter that provides XLR inputs and physical controls through a hot shoe connection.
- Flash head rotates 330°, tilts -7 to 120°, and has a magnetic surface for lightning-fast attachment of Godox's accessory light modifiers
- Powered by a removable 2600mAh lithium-ion battery that will give you up to 480 full-power flashes on a charge
- Recycles to full power in just 1.5 seconds
- Supports High Speed Sync up to 1/8000 sec for managing bright backgrounds and shooting with wide apertures; also, the V1 supports front and rear-curtain sync
- The V1 has an optical receiver as well as a built-in 2.4 GHz radio receiver, which accepts wireless signals from Godox X System transmitters
- Godox X System enables controlling up to four wireless groups in a transmitter/receiver configuration whereby settings made on the V1 are duplicated on other synced flashes
- Other features include an AF assist lamp, a 3200K LED modeling lamp, and a 2.5mm port for cabled triggering
The Godox Dome Diffuser for Round Head Flash Heads provides a 180-degree soft quality of light. The Dome fits the round head V1 directly and the AD200 and AD200 Pro using the separately-purchased H200R adapter. It also fits the TT685 speedlight using the optional SR-1 round head adapter.
The 128GB Professional 1667x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card from Lexar features a storage capacity of 128GB and takes advantage of the UHS-II bus to support advanced DSLR functions such as continuous shutter bursts and rapid shooting, as well as raw and JPEG captures. This card is also well-suited for video capture, including 4K, 3D, and Full HD video, and can achieve maximum read speeds of up to 250 MB/s and maximum write speeds of up to 120 MB/s. Thanks to its V60 speed class rating, minimum write speeds are guaranteed not to drop below 60 MB/s.
UHS-II cards achieve their speed through an extra row of pins and while this card has been designed for cameras that are UHS-II / V60 compatible, it may be used in devices that do not support UHS-II / V60. However, bear in mind that this card will then default to your device's speed class and bus rating, such as UHS-II and V30, which supports minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s, or UHS-I and U3, which also supports minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s. If your device does not support U3, this card is compatible with the U1 and Class 10 standards, each of which guarantee minimum write speeds of 10 MB/s.
To help protect against accidental file deletion, there is a built-in write protect switch. To further safeguard against possible data loss, users can download free Image Rescue software that is designed to recover most photo and video files.
