The Panasonic Lumix G90/G95 does not store shutter count in RW2 files. Check via the camera menu or Lumix Sync app — or use shuttercount.app for cameras that embed the count in their RAW files.
Check Shutter Count →The Panasonic Lumix G90 (G95 in North America, 2019) is the enthusiast-level successor to the G85/G80, bringing a higher-resolution 20.3 MP Dual Native ISO sensor, improved video capabilities including internal 4K/30p with V-Log L pre-installed, and Panasonic's 5-axis Dual IS 2 in-body image stabilisation. Like the G85, it features splash- and dust-resistant construction. Panasonic does not publish an official shutter rating for the G90/G95; based on comparable models and community reports, the expected mechanical shutter life is approximately 200,000 actuations.
| Model | Release | Sensor | Est. Shutter Life | RAW Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Panasonic G90/G95 | 2019 | 20.3 MP M4/3 Dual Native ISO | ~200,000 | RW2 |
| Panasonic G85/G80 | 2016 | 16 MP M4/3 | 200,000 | RW2 |
| Panasonic G9 | 2017 | 20.3 MP M4/3 | 200,000 | RW2 |
Alternative: Connect the G90/G95 to the Lumix Sync smartphone app via Wi-Fi. The camera info screen in the app displays the shutter count.
4K Photo mode and video recording use the electronic shutter and do not add to the mechanical count. For used G90/G95 bodies, also inspect the weather sealing ports and body for signs of rain exposure.
| Shutter Count | % of Est. Life | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 0 – 10,000 | < 5 % | Lightly used — excellent condition likely |
| 10,000 – 50,000 | 5 – 25 % | Moderate use — still very healthy |
| 50,000 – 120,000 | 25 – 60 % | Heavier use — inspect body and weather sealing |
| 120,000 – 180,000 | 60 – 90 % | Well used — negotiate price accordingly |
| 180,000 + | 90 %+ | Approaching estimated limit |
Panasonic does not embed the shutter count in RW2 files for any Lumix camera. The count is maintained in the camera's internal firmware and accessed only via the Setup menu or Lumix Sync app. This differs from Fujifilm RAF, Sony ARW, and Nikon NEF files which do include the count — and which shuttercount.app can read directly in your browser.
Go to MENU → Setup (wrench) → Shutter Count. Alternatively, use the Lumix Sync app. RW2 files do not embed the count.
Yes. The G90 and G95 are region-specific names for the same model. G90 is used in Europe and Asia, G95 in North America. All specifications, including sensor, IBIS, video capabilities, and weather sealing, are identical.
Panasonic does not publish an official rating. Community evidence and the G85 precedent (200,000 rated) suggest approximately 200,000 actuations.
No. 4K Photo mode extracts 8 MP stills from 4K video at 30 fps using the electronic shutter. No mechanical actuations occur. This is a major advantage for burst photography on the G90/G95.
The G90/G95 brings a new 20.3 MP Dual Native ISO sensor (vs 16 MP), improved 4K video with HLG and V-Log L pre-installed, better low-light performance, and an updated autofocus system. Both share weather sealing and 5-axis Dual IS 2.
