Razor-sharp recordings in 4K at 30p can be made without a time limit2. Slow-motion (4X) or time-lapse (8X) recordings are possible in FHD. Cinematic content is possible with 12 f-stops V-Log L. Headphone and microphone connections ensure full audio control during recording.

With its 1.84 million pixel touchscreen and 2,360-point OLED Live View Finder3, the Lumix G97 makes it easy to accurately frame and focus, even in bright light.
