A: The Panasonic Lumix G9 II Mirrorless Camera will be compatible with the Panasonic DMW-BG1 Battery Grip.

Q: 2. I have a Canon EF-S 10 - 22mm zoom lens. Will it work with the Viltrox EF-Z2 Adapter?

A: This adapter seems to be EF lens only, as there is no mounting point for an EF-S lens. This is usually indicated by a white square on the adapter as opposed to the red dot. An adapter that takes both EF and EF-S would have both indicators.

Q: 3. Will phase detection autofocus work with a EF to M43 Metabones Speedbooster? I will purchase this camera if it works.

A: No, EF to M43 Metabones Speedboosters have limited auto focus settings. tracking, Face, Eye and phase detection are not available when connecting Panasonic Lumix G9 II Mirrorless Camera to a Canon EF lens using the Metabones Speedbooster.

Q: 4. What is the best macro lens for this camera....especially with 2x magnification ?

A: The Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. Lens, B.H. #PA4528, is an excellent autofocus macro lens compatible with the Panasonic Lumix G9 II Mirrorless Camera. The lens produces a 1:1 life-size image. The Venus Optics Laowa 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro A.P.O.

Q: 5. Requesting HELP!!! I bought Viltrox EF-Z2 expecting to adapt Canon EF mount lenses like (Canon 50mm f1.4 as well as Sigma 18-35 F1.8 Art) on my Z6 and Z6 II. Unfortunately, neither of these lenses are being detected when it is connected via Viltrox adapter. The same lenses are working well on Canon bodies without any issue. I did update firmware of camera as well as Viltrox adapter with no luck to get it working. Question is, why lenses are not detected or the f number is not displayed (shows - -f) on Z6 & Z6 II? Expecting early response on this.

A: These issues come up a lot as Nikon has been aggressively releasing new firmware updates with new features and adapter manufacturer's like Viltrox cannot keep up. Viltrox would need to release a new firmware update that would make it work with the latest firmware in Nikon. Many users need to use the lens in manual focus manual exposure when an issue like this occurs or if it is within the return period, return the adapter.

Q: 7. if it is 1600 then why does it say 12800? Either it is a 1.6GHz or a 1.28GHz chip.

A: The 1600 refers to the clock speed while the 12800 refers to the theoretical maximum bandwidth. You get the clock speed by dividing the bandwidth by 8: 12800 ÷ 8 = 1600.

Q: 8. Is there a limit on video record time?

A: The Panasonic Lumix G9 II Mirrorless Camera offers unlimited video record time (no 30min limit).

Q: 9. In the dual card slots, should the cards be the same size, etc?

A: You do not have to use the same size cards in the dual card slots on the Panasonic Lumix G9 II Mirrorless Camera. However, if you have the slots set to back up the images as you shoot, it is best to use the same size and speed card.

Q: 10. I own four DMW-19BLF batteries for my five-year-old G9 version I. Will they work on the G9 version II?
