Panasonic LUMIX S9 Mirrorless Camera with 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 Lens and Content Creation Kit (Black/Silver)

Pairing the lightweight, convenient full-frame system with an extremely portable zoom lens, the LUMIX S9 Mirrorless Camera with 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 Lens from Panasonic is the perfect on-the-go camera setup for content creators. While smartphones continue to advance in their photo and video capabilities, a uniquely small full-frame system such as the S9 supplies you with significantly more power without the burden of the size of a typical mirrorless or DSLR camera. A 24.2MP full-frame sensor is utilized within the S9, which makes creating high-quality images much easier, even in dimly lit situations. You also have the advantage of choosing from numerous L-mount lenses to suit your needs. Overall, the simplicity and convenience of the S9 makes it an excellent tool for elevating your ability to quickly create and share impactful images.

Connect and Share Instantly

Getting your photos and videos onto your smartphone quickly is a massive benefit of the S9. With improved connection speed and stability, users are able to easily link their device to the S9 in a few simple steps with the LUMIX Lab app.

Real Time LUT (Signature Presets)

Create your own signature presets on your smartphone and transfer them to your S9, so you can apply them to your photos while you're shooting, not after. This gives you a precise idea of what your finished photos or videos will look like and is a massive time saver. You can download creators' LUT from the official LUMIX website.

Extend Your Range with Crop and Hybrid Zoom

The crop zoom function utilizes the center of the camera sensor to extend the normal zoom range while maintaining image quality. The hybrid zoom function utilizes both optical and crop zoom to extend the focal length even further.

LUMIX 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 Lens

Touted as the world's smallest and lightest full-frame zoom lens, the 5.5 oz, 1.6"-long Panasonic LUMIX 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 lens brings high resolution from corner to corner in a unique zoom range for a flexible, versatile, walk-around lens. Suitable for landscapes, buildings, and snapshots with a natural perspective, the lens also provides subtle bokeh when shooting subjects with the maximum aperture and at the minimum focusing distance of 5.9". The lens achieves its high sharpness and small form factor with the help of an optical design featuring three aspherical elements, two extra-low dispersion elements, and one ultra-high refractive element. The lens also benefits video shooters by suppressing focus breathing.

In addition to its lightweight and portable design, the lens' construction is dust, splash, and freeze-resistant for use in adverse weather conditions. The front element also has a fluorine coating to repel water, oil, and other debris.

Multiple Shooting Modes

By utilizing multiple features of the MantisPod together, a total of 6 different shooting modes are possible. In addition to vlogging and livestreaming, these modes can help when shooting portraits, taking time-lapse photos, conducting video chat interviews, and much more.

• Portrait Mode: A standard 3-leg tabletop tripod setup with your device in landscape orientation.
• Low-Angle Mode: Lowers the 3-leg tabletop option so the tripod is nearly flat for low angle perspective
• High-Angle Mode: Allows raised, extended legs to orient a device for high angle perspective imaging.
• Mantis Mode a short hook extends from one tripod leg, allowing the tripod to hang from fences, railings, glass partitions, and more. NOTE: Surfaces should be no more than 3.5" thick and the other 2 legs must be set against surfaces for stability.
• Handheld Mode: Squeeze the legs together for a configuration that lets you more easily shoot on the move. It can quickly convert to Elevated Tripod mode without altering device orientation.
• Briefcase Mode: Orient the hand grip configuration like the handle of a briefcase with the camera suspended below for low angle perspective.
