Panasonic Lumix S9 body - Night blue

The Panasonic S9 is the S5 II in mini size! The same full-frame image quality, the same fast phase-detection autofocus, and sensor-shift image stabilization in a very small body.

Who is this camera suitable for? The camera does not have a mechanical shutter, so for the fastest sports and bird photography we recommend the S5 II camera, as well as for longer video shooting. This S9 model is focused on fast and ready-to-use video production and sharing. So if you want to stand out from the social media image stream with good-looking material and maintain fast content production, this is an interesting camera!

Video recording features

Panasonic is a step ahead of its competitors with its film simulations. The LUT files familiar from professional-level video cameras are available here at the press of a button.

This means that with the press of a button, the camera adjusts the color tones of the video and photos to the desired level, and previews are possible in real time. Usually, LUT files are loaded into cameras via a memory card, but now they can be designed, previewed and transferred directly to the camera using your phone. And once the content has been shot, the material is ready to use and can be shared immediately with the Lumix Lab app.

The Panasonic S9 does not include active cooling and the small body is best suited for short video clips. The recording time is limited to 10 minutes in 6K mode and 15 minutes in 4K video, so for longer recordings and all-day shooting, the S5 II X or GH6 are still the right choice.

The time limit applies to a single video clip, so according to initial tests, these can be taken one after the other without fear of overheating. Panasonic is very careful compared to other manufacturers, so the time limit may not be a problem in normal use.

But otherwise, the video features are guaranteed Panasonic, meaning there is a waveform monitor, zebras and log view assist, i.e. professional-level features for video production.

The lens zoom ring and digital zoom are also very conveniently combined for video recording. When zooming, the camera seamlessly also uses digital zoom and, for example, in 4K recording with 60mm optics you get a focal length equivalent to 90mm and in FullHD resolution about 190mm with very little quality loss.

The Panasonic S9 is an interesting camera and almost creates its own product category, combining full-frame quality and fast workflow, and on the other hand, this is also a good B-camera if you have more robust Panasonic devices.
