LCD attachment on the Panasonic G97

The LCD screen on the Panasonic Lumix DC-G97 is flexibly attached to the body. In particular, the LCD is hinged on the side and can be flipped out for odd-angle shots in both portrait and landscape orientation. Also, this fully articulated, swivel type of LCD attachment is often appreciated by videographers for its flexibility. Moreover, v-loggers like the design because the screen can be turned to be front-facing.

In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Panasonic G97 measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 1,840,000 dots. The panel is touch sensitive.

One convenient feature of the G97 is the presence of an on-board flash. While this built-in flash is not very powerful, it can at times be useful as a fill-in light to brighten deep shadow areas.
