The Panasonic Lumix G97 Hybrid Mirrorless Camera with a 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens builds upon the versatile Lumix G95, introducing USB-C power and data connectivity, a higher resolution OLED rear touchscreen, and Bluetooth 5.0 for enhanced wireless reliability. Retaining the 20.3MP Live MOS sensor, five-axis Dual I.S. 2 stabilization, and UHD 4K video from its predecessor, the G97 offers powerful hybrid performance in a compact, durable design.

Engineered for high-speed and high-resolution imaging, the G97 pairs its 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor with an upgraded Venus Engine processor, delivering detailed stills and UHD 4K video while minimizing noise. With a sensitivity range up to ISO 25600 and continuous shooting speeds of 9 fps with AF-S or 6 fps with AF-C, it excels in a variety of conditions.

For video creators, the G97 records UHD 4K at 30p with 8-bit color depth and 4:2:0 sampling internally or supports 4:2:2 external recording via micro-HDMI. Pre-installed V-Log L offers a flat gamma curve ideal for color grading, while slow-motion video recording is available in Full HD at 60 fps. Audio capture is improved with dedicated 3.5mm microphone and headphone jacks.

Dual I.S. 2 technology combines in-body five-axis stabilization with lens-based O.I.S., compensating for up to five stops of camera shake and ensuring sharp handheld images across a wide range of movements. The stabilization system is compatible with select Lumix lenses.

The G97 features a 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with 0.74x magnification for sharp, eye-level composition. The 3.0-inch free-angle OLED rear touchscreen has been upgraded to 1.84m dots, supporting tilt, swivel, and intuitive menu control. Constructed with a magnesium alloy frame and extensive weather sealing, the camera is splash- and dust-proof for rugged use.

Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 290 shots per charge or up to 1,050 shots using Power Save LVF mode. Charging is convenient with the USB-C port, which also enables high-speed data transfer. Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 allow for seamless wireless image sharing and remote control via smartphones. Bluetooth LE maintains a constant connection for geotagging and automatic transfers.

The G97's video capabilities extend to stills with three 8MP shooting modes: Burst for continuous captures, Pre-Burst for moments just before and after shutter release, and Burst (S/S) for extracting frames from video playback. Depth-From-Defocus (DFD) technology ensures fast, precise autofocus, with subject tracking and face/eye detection for improved portraiture. Autofocus sensitivity down to -4 EV supports low-light shooting, and manual focusing is enhanced with focus peaking and magnification up to 20x.

The included 12-60mm lens, equivalent to 24-120mm, suits a variety of shooting scenarios. Its POWER O.I.S. pairs with Dual I.S. for stable handheld shots, while its optical design incorporates aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements to minimize aberrations.

A mechanical shutter achieves speeds up to 1/4000 sec, while the electronic shutter reaches 1/16,000 sec for bright conditions and wide apertures. Live composite mode synthesizes multiple exposures, ideal for high-contrast scenes. Photo Style modes such as Standard, Vivid, and V-Log L, alongside creative filters like Monochrome, Dynamic Monochrome, and Toy Effect, provide extensive customization for stills and video. The G97’s versatile design makes it a reliable tool for hybrid shooters seeking performance and portability.
