The Panasonic Lumix S9 is a Mirrorless Digital Camera with a Full-Frame sensor and a Leica L lens mount. Its 24 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 100-51200 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 50-204800. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in very low-light. With 24 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 25" x 16" at 240 DPI.
A builtin 5-Axis Image Stabilization mechanism allows the Panasonic Lumix S9 to compensate for camera shake up to 5-Stops beyond hand-holding with any mounted lens.
This camera features an electronic shutter that can expose for 1/8000 to 1m. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/8000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.
The Panasonic Lumix S9 features a Phase-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. A Real-Time Autofocus Tracking System allows focus to follow a moving subject within the frame. Manual Focus is also available.
Dual controls-dials offer direct access to most exposure parameters which makes this digital camera suitable for advanced photographers. This camera does not feature any seals to protect it against adverse weather, dust and moisture. Care must be taken, just like with most electronics. There is no viewfinder on the Panasonic Lumix S9 and no provision to add one.
