Panasonic LUMIX S9 Body Dark Olive + LUMIX L-mount S 18mm f/1.8

Panasonic Lumix S9 Body Dark Olive

The Panasonic Lumix S9 is the perfect mirrorless camera for content creators who are frequently on the go and want to share their work with the world quickly and easily. This S9 features an ultra-light and compact design while packing the power of a full-frame sensor. The camera is equipped with a 24.2 megapixel full-frame sensor and gives you access to an extensive range of L-mount lenses.

The camera features real-time recognition autofocus with PDAF (Phase Detection Auto-Focus), allowing you to track subjects such as people, animals, and vehicles with ease and precision. It also includes built-in 5-axis Dual I.S.2 image stabilisation, offering up to 6.5 stops of compensation. The I.S. image stabilisation delivers 5 stops of stabilisation. You can also capture steady handheld shots thanks to Active I.S. image stabilisation, which reduces blur caused by camera shake.

Easy editing and sharing

The Panasonic Lumix S9 works seamlessly with your smartphone. You can create your own so-called 'signature presets' on your phone — these are colour styles you've defined in advance. By transferring them to the S9, you can apply them directly to the photos and videos you shoot, saving you time in post-processing. As well as creating your own presets, you can also choose to download presets via the LUMIX Lab app. Getting your shots onto your smartphone is quick and straightforward, thanks to improved connection speed and stability. This is made possible by a new recording format: MP4 Lite — an Open Gate video mode optimised for smartphones. Within 30 seconds, your photo or video is online, exactly the way you want it.

Extend your reach with crop and hybrid zoom

You can expand the zoom range of the Panasonic S9 while maintaining image quality, using the crop zoom function and the hybrid zoom function. The crop zoom function uses the centre of the camera sensor to extend the standard zoom range. The hybrid zoom function combines both optical and crop zoom to increase the focal length even further.

A wide choice of lenses

The camera features an L-mount, giving you a broad selection of lenses to suit your needs as a content creator. With more than 80 lenses available, the possibilities are virtually endless — from portrait to landscape, and from architecture to macro.

Panasonic LUMIX S 18mm f/1.8

The Panasonic LUMIX S 18mm f/1.8 is a super wide-angle lens with a 100° angle of view. Thanks to this wide field of view, the lens is well suited to a variety of applications, including landscape, astrophotography, and architectural photography. What's more, the minimum focusing distance of 0.18 metres opens up greater possibilities for close-up shooting. The optical construction consists of 13 lens elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical lenses, three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses, one UED (Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion) lens, and one UHR (Ultra High Refractive Index) lens. The three aspherical lenses deliver superior image performance, while the three ED lenses suppress chromatic aberration. In addition, the large f/1.8 aperture with nine aperture blades produces beautiful bokeh effects. The lens operates smoothly and quietly with the camera's fast AF system, as the digital signal between camera and lens is exchanged at up to 240 fps. When focusing manually, the focus point shifts by a variable amount in non-linear mode, depending on the speed at which the focus ring is turned. In linear mode, the focus point shifts by a fixed amount based on how far the focus ring is rotated. When recording video, a mechanism within the lens suppresses focus breathing. Combined with micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure adjustment, this makes professional-quality video recording possible. Thanks to its compact design and low weight of 340 grams, the LUMIX S 18mm f/1.8 is easy to take anywhere. The robust, dust- and splash-resistant construction can even withstand harsh conditions down to -10 degrees Celsius.
