Panasonic Lumix DC-G9II + Lumix DMW-DMS1E Digital Shotgun Microphone

Panasonic Lumix DC-G9II body

The Panasonic LUMIX DC-G9II is a high-end mirrorless camera that helps you capture that decisive moment and preserve it forever. This addition to the LUMIX line delivers superior image quality, features a greatly improved autofocus system, and excels with a reliable burst mode.

The 25.2 megapixel image sensor delivers outstanding resolution. The high image quality is expressed not only in sharpness, but also in an enormous dynamic range with rich colour rendition. With Handheld High-Resolution mode, you can shoot handheld at up to 100 megapixels, so no detail is ever lost. Enjoy Leica's legendary photo style LEICA Monochrome for images with deep contrasts between black and white. The excellent processing performance of the new processor ensures reliable results and fast signal processing.

The Panasonic LUMIX DC-G9II is the first LUMIX camera with fast, precise Phase Detection AF. With 779 focus points, the camera tracks your subject with great accuracy across the frame. Even in conditions that are normally challenging for an AF system — such as backlit or low-light situations — focus remains razor-sharp and lightning-fast. The detection capabilities of the autofocus system have also been significantly improved, recognising people, animals, and vehicles. The new AI recognition technology enables more accurate focusing in scenes with multiple people and identifies people and animals individually. The option for an extra-small focus point and AF Micro Adjustments allow you to work with great precision.

Combined with the ultra-fast autofocus, the extensive burst capabilities ensure you never miss a moment of action. You can shoot at up to 75 frames per second with the electronic shutter! The improved buffer memory allows you to shoot continuously for approximately three seconds. Even during burst shooting, the display remains blackout-free. The rolling shutter effect is suppressed for sharp images without distortion. Thanks to the improved Pre-Burst Shooting option, you can go back in time to capture the perfect shot — so you always get the perfect moment.

Excellent stabilisation makes the G9II ideally suited for handheld shooting. 8.0-stop B.I.S. and 7.5-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. provide powerful correction of camera shake in low light or when using a telephoto lens. Newly added is Active I.S. technology, which corrects camera shake while you're on the move. The combination of Advanced E.I.S. and Active I.S. delivers smooth footage, ideal for every active videographer and photographer.

The G9II also makes it easy to capture top-quality video. With 4K resolution and 120fps, you can shoot the sharpest possible images even in slow motion. The 10-bit colour depth delivers rich, vivid colours that remain true to life. Recording assist functions — such as frames showing what you're filming or how your image will look when you apply a vertical crop — simplify the recording process. Advanced recording settings such as 13+ stops V-Log or V-Gamut provide extra colour control. With the new real-time LUT recording capability, you can simplify your workflow and record photos and videos with a LUT applied in-camera. USB-SSD recording supports professional video formats such as ALL-Intra Recording and ProRes Recording.

The camera is weather-resistant, lightweight, and durable. Thanks to its intuitive control layout, you can focus entirely on the photography itself. Dual SD card slots and compatibility with UHS-II/V90 provide ample, high-speed storage. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, you can easily transfer your images or update your firmware via the LUMIX Sync App.

Panasonic LUMIX DMW-DMS1E Digital Shotgun Microphone – Black

The Panasonic LUMIX DMW-DMS1E is a high-quality digital shotgun microphone for LUMIX mirrorless cameras. This all-in-one microphone is designed for content creators and professionals who want maximum audio quality without complex external recorders or cables. Thanks to the direct hot shoe connection, the microphone is powered directly and the digital audio signal is sent straight to the camera.

The DMW-DMS1E features a newly developed 10 mm large-diameter microphone array, delivering clear, directional, and natural sound. The internal floating shock mount minimises handling noise during handheld use, while the included windscreen effectively suppresses wind noise. The advanced wind noise reduction system uses float recording technology to reduce wind without compressing the original audio.

With six different directional modes, the microphone adapts to every recording situation. From cardioid and supercardioid for focused voice recording to stereo and wide stereo for spatial ambient capture. For interviews, there is even a bidirectional mode that clearly captures both the front and rear.

The microphone supports 32-bit float recording (on compatible models), preventing distortion at high sound pressure levels of up to approximately 120 dB. In addition, the DMW-DMS1E features a backup recording function in 4-channel mode, ensuring important audio is always captured safely.

Weighing just 100 grams with a compact design, your camera setup stays light and mobile. Physical switches enable quick operation, while the brightness of the directional indicators is adjustable for use in low-light conditions.

Compatible with LUMIX S1II, S1RII, S1IIE, S5II, and S5IIX. Firmware update required. Support for GH7 and G9II will follow via future firmware updates.
