Released in June 2024. Lens not included. Purchase separately. A full-frame SLR camera that's compact yet powerful. The large sensor and advanced image processing engine deliver high-quality, high-resolution photos and videos. Flexible color settings (real-time LUT) and the new LUMIX Lab smartphone app make shooting and sharing to social media a breeze. [DCS9K] DCS9K Released in June 2024. Approximately 24.2 million effective pixels. The full-frame CMOS sensor delivers high resolution, precise depiction, and a wide dynamic range while providing high-precision AF thanks to its on-chip phase detection sensor. Furthermore, its fast readout speed enables faster continuous shooting and reduces rolling shutter distortion (distortion that occurs when shooting fast-moving subjects) when using the electronic shutter or shooting video. This sensor achieves a high level of balance between high sensitivity and resolution. The Venus Engine is equipped with L2 Technology (L-Square Technology), jointly developed by Leica and Panasonic. It quickly processes image information output from the high-pixel sensor, delivering high-resolution, natural-looking textures. Furthermore, new Intelligent Detail Processing and noise reduction, which deliver high resolution and three-dimensional rendering, deliver superior processing performance for still images and video, achieving high image quality, high sensitivity, and color reproduction. It also quickly processes high-resolution video, such as 6K 30p 10-bit recording. In terms of AF performance, faster processing speeds and improved AF algorithms have significantly improved subject detection performance, enabling accurate autofocus by identifying the subject's movement and characteristics. 779-Point On-Chip Phase Detection AF: The on-chip phase detection AF uses an on-chip phase detection sensor to quickly and accurately calculate the distance to the subject. The 779-point AF system not only captures dynamically moving subjects, but also, when combined with auto-detection AF, delivers excellent AF tracking performance, even in backlit or low-light situations where the subject is difficult to distinguish, scenes with multiple people crossing each other, and even smaller subjects. Advanced Recognition AF: Thanks to the development of recognition AI using deep learning technology, the camera now recognizes smaller subjects quickly and accurately in addition to the existing "People Recognition" and "Animal Recognition" functions. In addition to the existing recognition functions, the camera now also features "Car Recognition," "Motorcycle Recognition," and "Animal Eye Recognition." By combining distance information, it achieves highly accurate focusing performance in both still and video shooting. Versatile Focus Functions Support Various Shooting Environments: Versatile focus functions are useful for various shooting environments, regardless of weather or shooting conditions, and for capturing a variety of subjects. By selecting the optimal AF function for the shooting scene or subject, you can focus on capturing the perfect shot. Auto-recognition AF offers greater flexibility by combining various AF modes, allowing you to select the optimal combination for each shooting situation. 5-Axis, 5.0-Step In-Body Image Stabilization (B.I.S.): The camera's built-in B.I.S. system utilizes a developed algorithm to compensate for camera shake based on signals from the high-precision gyro sensor, as well as information from the image sensor and accelerometer. As a result, it achieves image stabilization performance equivalent to 5.0 stops of shutter speed. This camera further supports shooting in previously difficult situations, such as low-light conditions, enabling more mobile shooting and a wider range of expression.
The camera features an advanced E.I.S. video peripheral distortion correction, reducing peripheral distortion when using a wide-angle lens. Combined with Active I.S., which is effective for video shooting, it enables walking shots with minimal blur and peripheral distortion, even when shooting with a gimbal. A new correction mode, Strong, has been added to Standard to further address even greater blur.
Video Format: MP4 (Lite) You can now select the low-bitrate video format, MP4 (Lite). From the wide 3:2 aspect ratio, you can trim and edit videos to your desired aspect ratio with a photographic feel. Small file sizes and fast transfer speeds allow for smoother editing. Video quality is 3.8K (3840x2560) 29.97p 50Mbps, making it the ideal video format for sharing short videos on social media. Full-pixel high-speed continuous shooting: Achieve ultra-high-speed continuous shooting at approximately 30 frames per second at approximately 24.2 million full pixels. The electronic shutter records RAW+JPEG, allowing you to capture clear, high-quality continuous shots while tracking moving subjects. Pre-continuous shooting: Equipped with "SH Pre-continuous Shooting," which allows continuous shooting to be recorded before continuous shooting begins. When set to high-speed continuous shooting (SH PRE), continuous shooting begins in advance when you half-press the shutter button to begin continuous shooting. It can record the period up to when you fully press the shutter button (starting continuous shooting). With a pre-recording time of 0.5 seconds, you can capture approximately 15 pre-continuous shots. Even if you miss a precious moment of a fast-moving subject due to delayed human reaction or release time lag, the camera automatically records the exact moment, so you'll never miss a decisive moment again.
