Panasonic Debuts LUMIX S9 Mirrorless Camera In Malaysia

Panasonic LUMIX S9 Enters Malaysian Market

Panasonic introduces the LUMIX S9, the smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera in the LUMIX S Series, available in four colors. It’s equipped with a 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor (same as LUMIX S5II) and PDAF for better object tracking, while the Active I.S. feature reduces blurring, to help steady the shots even when handheld.

The camera body features a new dedicated LUT button which allows the user to access REAL TIME LUT function and apply any color profiles. Users can also develop unique LUT color files using the LUMIX Lab app on their smartphones, which can be shared between users (Panasonic says the file transfer speed has been improved in the new app as well).

The new addition also includes the “MP4 Lite” recording format offers high-quality videos suitable for social media via Open Gate (meaning using the full sensor instead of cropping to a specific aspect ratio) 4:2:0 10-bit recording in 30p/25p, which can be resized in-post via the app.

Alongside the camera, Panasonic also introduces the compact LUMIX S 26mm F8 (S-R26) pancake lens (at RM1,099) for casual shooting, while the LUMIX S 18-40mm F4.5-6.3 lens will be launching at a later date.

Shriyo Marketing will be the local distributor of the new LUMIX S9, which is now available for pre-order at RM7,599 for the body and RM8,999 with the R2060 Lens. The pre-order period ends 30 June 2024, with special gifts available.
