New Sensor and New Engine Boasting Outstanding Photographic Performance
PDAF technology implemented in LUMIX G Series for the First Time
Flagship Micro Four Thirds Model for Still Images with Improved High-Speed Performance and Ergonomics
Newark, NJ (September 12, 2023) – Panasonic is proud to announce the launch of the LUMIX G9II digital mirrorless camera, equipped with a new sensor and Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF) technology. The LUMIX G9II is the first camera in the Micro Four Thirds LUMIX G Series to feature PDAF technology.
In line with the growing need to produce highly creative artwork and photography using diverse methods, this new model creates high-resolution, high-quality images and rich colors straight out of camera. Furthermore, with a new auto-focus technology that combines Panasonic’s accumulated expertise in recognition technology with PDAF, and a high-speed burst shooting mode that ensures decisive moments are always captured, this new model boasts significantly improved power and high-speed performance. The camera supports photographers from various fields using a system that can be combined with the compact and lightweight LUMIX G Micro Four Thirds lenses for ultimate flexibility.
The new 25.2-megapixel Live MOS Sensor and new engine produce high-resolution images in outstanding quality with rich color tones, while the hybrid PDAF technology enables accurate auto-focus and high-speed tracking of fast-moving subjects. Moreover, burst shooting at 60 fps in AFC mode and SH pre-burst recording*1 that begins before the shutter is released ensures that the decisive moment is always captured, even with dynamically moving subjects.
LUMIX’s popular image stabilization system is further improved, combining 8-stop*2 B.I.S. (Body Image Stabilizer), 7.5-stop*3 5-axis Dual I.S. 2, and advanced Active I.S. for incredible video image stabilization. Together, these functions provide even greater support for handheld shooting of dynamic scenes that would previously have been difficult to capture. In addition, creators can enjoy enhanced monochrome photo styles with new LEICA Monochrome and REAL TIME LUT for preferred color settings. Through this next-generation digital mirrorless camera, Panasonic intends to respond to the needs of creators who are pursuing methods of creative expression that go beyond the boundaries of photography and videography.

The specs above are from an unreliable/new source but look legit, so we have decided to publish them.
We have just published the news that Panasonic will soon update its major camera firmware to make it compatible with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) autofocusing system.
Pics that show the Panasonic S1H camera working in calibration with the LiDAR autofocusing system + RS Pro 3 gimbal to stabilize the camera. Although We don’t have that much detail on how the autofocus performed during the test, the combination of LiDAR autofocusing system with RS Pro 3 gimbal and Lumix S1H camera isn’t a cheap package.
Instead putting time on Lidar Tech, they should announce S1H Mark II with Hybrid Sensor asap – TNC
At the same time, they say they have already DEVELOPED their hybrid CMOS SENSOR, and we have already seen it in the Panasonic S5 MARK II mirrorless camera. Then, instead of investing time and money in LiDAR autofocusing system, it’s better to announce a new series of updated sensors for all their pro cameras with a hybrid system that they already have.
Panasonic Lumix and DJI have joined hands for an ultimate partnership. Initially, the result of the partnership is that we will soon see firmware updates coming for S1H, S1R, S5, and S5R cameras. GH6 and GH5M2 will release firmware updates in mid-October to support DJI stabilizer RS3 Pro and Lidar to focus.

Compatible with Panasonic AF lenses
Achieve precise focus without fear of light
We can expect a significant improvement in video shooting. It is currently undergoing in-house testing before the final release and will soon become available.
Samyang announces a new lens for L-mount, the 35-150mm f/2-2.8. Although this lens is already available for Sony E-mount and Tamron makes the same lens for E and Z mount, Tamron is not currently a part of the L-mount alliance. The L-mount alliance comprises Sigma, Panasonic, DJI, Astro Design, and Samyang. So, for now, Samyang will take advantage of the situation.
How many of you guys think the new Samyang 35-150mm F2-F2.8 is a perfect lens for Panasonic S5 Mark II camera ? Let me know in the comment section
