Panasonic Lumix DC-S9 + S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 + Lumix 40mm f/2

The LUMIX S9 is the smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera in the LUMIX S series.
It’s available in four different colors—Jet Black, Crimson Red, Dark Olive, and Night Blue—and is a stylish, modern companion you’ll want to take with you everywhere.

The latest 24 MP full-frame sensor captures images with rich detail and natural tones.
In addition, the camera is equipped with phase-detection autofocus, which offers excellent subject tracking, as well as in-body image stabilization that reduces blur caused by camera shake, even when shooting handheld.

With the new MP4 Lite recording format for Open Gate, creators can record high-quality videos in the optimal format for smartphones and social media and easily adjust the aspect ratio using the new LUMIX Lab app. To support this, the data transfer speed from the camera to the smartphone has also been significantly improved.

The S9’s innovative REAL TIME LUT function is both creative and exciting.
A dedicated LUT button on the camera body allows users to quickly and directly apply predefined or custom color styles right in the camera. In combination with the LUMIX Lab app, users can develop their own unique LUT color profiles on their smartphone. This means users can effortlessly create personalized photos and videos without the need for post-processing on a computer.

Panasonic introduces compact standard fixed focal length lens for its full-frame cameras: LUMIX S 40mm F2 (S-S40)
With the LUMIX S 40mm F2 (S-S40), Panasonic presents a new interchangeable lens based on the LMount system standard. The LUMIX S 40mm F2 is a compact, lightweight fixed focal length lens designed for everyday versatility. It delivers natural-looking images with beautiful bokeh - ideal for street photography, portraits and landscapes.

With a focal length of 40mm - close to the field of view of the human eye - this fixed focal length offers a natural perspective suitable for a wide range of shooting situations. The bright maximum aperture of F2 creates a soft and beautiful bokeh for strong subject separation in portraits and helps to maintain faster shutter speeds in low light conditions. This produces clear images without having to increase the ISO sensitivity unnecessarily.

With an overall length of approx. 40.9 mm and a weight of approx. 144 g, it complements the compact body of the LUMIX S9 to create a handy set that is easy to carry. The lens is similar to the LUMIX S 18-40 mm F4.5-6.3 and also has a filter diameter of 62 mm.

Despite its compact and lightweight construction, the lens has a dust and splash-proof design for reliable use in changing weather conditions. The front lens element is fluorine-coated, making it easy to remove dirt and grease from the surface.

To meet the growing demand for video production, the lens also offers features such as focus breathing reduction and micro-step iris control for smooth exposure transitions and high-quality video.

To accompany this announcement, Panasonic is also releasing its lens development roadmap, which includes a wide-angle fixed focal length lens to complement the compact LUMIX S9 body and a wide-aperture telephoto zoom lens to expand the L-mount lens lineup.

With the introduction of the new 40mm lens and continued commitment to future lens development, Panasonic continues to expand creative opportunities for both amateur and professional photographers by offering a balance between image quality and portability, contributing to the growth of the interchangeable lens camera market.
