Key photographic features

The G97’s 20.3MP CMOS sensor works without a low-pass filter to capture sharp details. In combination with the Venus Engine, it produces vivid colors and clear images.

For videographers, the Lumix G97 delivers practical and flexible recording options. It records 4K video at 30p with no time limits, allowing long continuous takes without automatic cutoffs. You can also shoot Full HD in slow motion up to 4x and quick motion up to 8x. Additionally, the camera supports 12-stop V-Log L for expanded dynamic range and more control during color grading.

Monitoring and audio

The camera gives you flexible composition and reliable monitoring. It has a 1,840k-dot free-angle LCD for varied shooting angles and a 2,360k-dot OLED viewfinder for precise framing and review. For improved audio capture and monitoring, the G97 includes both a microphone jack and a headphone jack, which are useful for creators who need external mics or live audio monitoring during shoots.

Design, durability and handling

The LUMIX G97 has a dust- and splash-resistant design to help keep it working in demanding field conditions. Controls and layout focus on intuitive operation so you can switch between photo and video workflows smoothly. The camera remains compact while providing features geared toward hybrid shooters.

Connectivity and power

The G97 includes built-in Wi‑Fi® and Bluetooth® v5.0 for straightforward sharing and remote control. For power and charging convenience, the camera supports USB Type-C power supply and charging, which makes it easier to top up battery life while on location or using common power banks.
