No more blurry images

By combining body and lens stabilization technology, the integrated 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 achieves sharp and blur-less images with 5-stop correction power up to the tele-end*.

*Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=140mm (35mm camera equivalent f=280mm), when H-FSA14140 is used.]

Never miss ultra-fast moments

The LUMIX G97 offers high speed Auto Focus (0.07 sec) using DFD technology (240 fps) and enables photographers to take stunning images even when subjects move very fast.

Video performance matching all needs

Record in crisp 4K at 30p with no time limitations**, experiment with slow-motion (4x) or quick-motion (8x) in FHD, and create cinematic content with 12-stops of V-Log L. Dedicated headphone and microphone jacks ensure total audio control while recording.

*This photo was taken with a model of equivalent performance.
**When the ambient temperature is high, the camera may stop the recording. Wait until the camera cools down.

Intuitive operation and reliable design

With a 1,840k-dot free-angle LCD and 2,360k-dot OLED Live View Finder (0,74x magnification ratio at 35mm camra equivalent), the LUMIX G97 makes it easy to frame and focus your shots accurately, even in bright conditions. The durable dust/splash-resistant* construction is ideal for everyday creators looking for a camera that can reliably handle a variety of situations.

*Splash- and dust-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
