    Panasonic G9 Sensor and Photography Features

    Panasonic G9 has a 20.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . You can shoot at maximum resolution of 5184 x 3888 pixels with aspect ratios of 1:1, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9. G9 has a native ISO range of 200 - 25600 which can be boosted to 100 and it can save files in RAW format which gives you a wider room for post processing.

    Panasonic G9 is not the highest resolution Four Thirds camera. Panasonic G9 II with its 25.2MP sensor is leading in this class. Check the comparison of Panasonic G9 vs Panasonic G9 II or take a look at Highest resolution Mirrorless cameras list.

    High Resolution Mode

    Panasonic G9 has a special High Resolution mode where the camera takes multiple images of a scene while moving its sensor using the sensor shift image stabilization system and combine them automatically to create a 80.0MP MP image. This feature works best with static scenes and using a tripod is a must to minimize stitching artifacts.

    Anti-Aliasing Filter

    Another important feature about Panasonic G9's sensor is the lack of anti-alias (Low-pass) filter. Removing anti-aliasing filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but on the other side it also increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.

    Let's look at how the size of the Panasonic G9's Four Thirds sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

    Panasonic G9 LCD and Viewfinder

    Panasonic G9 has a Fully Articulated 3.00-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,040k dots. Articulated screens are more video oriented compared to only tilting or fixed screens. On the other hand, photography oriented users generally prefer tilting screens. Both the screen size and the screen resolution is up to the standards of this class.

    LCD is Touch screen type, so you can change the settings and set the focus point with your fingertips.

    Panasonic G9 back view and LCD

    For those of you who loves shooting selfies, self or group photos, Panasonic G9 will make your life easier with its Selfie friendly screen. Another group of users who will take advantage of G9's LCD screen are Vloggers and any video creators who are working in a single-person setup.

    G9 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder, making it easier to shoot in direct sunlight and in other situations where it might be difficult to view the LCD monitor. The viewfinder has a resolution of 3,680kdots and coverage of 100%. 100% coverage ensures that what you see in the viewfinder while shooting matches exactly what you will get later in your image, helping accurate framing your shots and minimizes the need for cropping images later. The magnification ratio of the viewfinder is 0.83x (35mm equivalent).

    Panasonic G9 Connectivity, Storage and Battery

    Panasonic G9 features built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11ac + Bluetooth) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. Panasonic G9's Bluetooth connectivity feature comes handy for connecting other devices that supports it. One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our G9. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.

    You can connect G9 to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 3.0 (5 GBit/sec) port.

    Panasonic G9 Battery

    Panasonic G9 is powered by DMW-BLF19 battery which provides a battery life of 400 shots according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of Mirrorless type cameras is 389 shots, its battery life is about average in its class but it would still be wise to invest in some spare batteries for long photo trips.
