Get the Best of Photo & Video

The LUMIX G97 is the perfect companion thanks to its compact, lightweight and mobile interchangeable lens system. With the combination of splash & dust resistance*, highest image quality, advanced video features and a supreme sensor, the LUMIX G97 will capture every adventure in stunning detail.

Crisp and clear high-precision images

The LUMIX G97 features a brand 20.3-megapixel CMOS sensor without low-pass filter. The combination of a high-performance engine and removal of the low-pass filter improves resolution and minimizes moiré effects. *This photo was taken with a model of equivalent performance.

No more blurry images

By combining body and lens stabilisation 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. *This photo was taken with a model of equivalent performance.

Video performance matching all needs

Taking videos has never been more convenient. The LUMIX G97 offers 4K 30p video recording with no time limit** and pre-installed V-Log L function. Additionally, up to 4x slow-motion video, up to 8x quick-motion video and a microphone/headphone jack is available. *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.

Take a closer look

Frame your shots easily using the 2,360k-dot high speed OLED Live Viewfinder (0.74x magnification ratio at 35mm camera equivalent) or the convenient 3-inch free-angle touch LCD screen (1,840k-dot resolution).
