20.3MP Live MOS Sensor

The LUMIX G97 uses a 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds CMOS/Live MOS sensor without a low-pass filter, designed to maximise fine detail and image resolution.

The combination of the sensor and Panasonic's image-processing engine provides detailed still images with a broad range of Photo Style options.

5-Axis Dual I.S. 2

The G97 combines body-based image stabilisation with compatible lens optical stabilisation through 5-axis Dual I.S. 2.

The system provides up to 5.0 stops of stabilisation when used with the included 14-140mm lens under Panasonic's specified CIPA testing conditions.

This helps reduce camera shake when shooting:

• Handheld landscapes
• Travel photography
• Low-light scenes
• Telephoto subjects
• Video
• Street photography

Burst Shooting

The camera supports continuous shooting at up to:

• 9fps with AFS/MF
• 6fps with AFF/AFC

V-Log L is included in the G97, giving video creators a flatter gamma profile designed to retain more tonal information for post-production and colour grading.

This makes the camera suitable for:

• YouTube videos
• Short films
• Travel videos
• Reels
• Commercial content
• Documentary work
• Social media content

4K PHOTO

The G97's 4K Photo technology can capture bursts at 30 frames per second, allowing photographers to select the decisive moment afterwards.

Live View Composite

Live View Composite combines multiple exposures in-camera while monitoring the image in real time.

It is particularly useful for:

• Light trails
• Star trails
• Night photography
• Fireworks
• Long-exposure creative effects

Panasonic highlights Live View Composite as one of the G97's key creative features.

Electronic Viewfinder & Free-Angle Display

OLED Live Viewfinder

• Resolution: approx. 2.36 million dots
• OLED technology
• Approx. 0.74x magnification at 35mm-equivalent

Rear Monitor

LUMIX G VARIO 14-140mm F3.5-5.6 II Lens

The included H-FSA14140 is a 10x optical zoom lens covering a highly useful 14–140mm range.

On the Micro Four Thirds sensor, this gives a 28–280mm full-frame equivalent field of view.

Lens Specifications

Panasonic confirms the lens's 14-element/12-group optical design, 3 aspherical elements, 2 ED elements, 28-280mm equivalent range, 0.25x magnification and 265g weight.

10x Travel Zoom

The 14-140mm lens makes this kit particularly convenient for travel because one lens covers:

Wide angle → standard → portrait → telephoto

Examples:

• 14mm — landscapes and architecture
• 25-35mm — street and everyday photography
• 50-75mm — portraits
• 100-140mm — wildlife and distant subjects

The 28-280mm equivalent range provides extensive coverage without needing to change lenses frequently.

Weather-Resistant Design

The LUMIX G97 features dust- and splash-resistant construction, designed to provide additional protection for outdoor shooting.

Panasonic notes that dust/splash resistance does not guarantee protection against direct contact with dust or water.

The included 14-140mm II lens is also dust- and splash-resistant.
