A Next-Gen Hybrid Powerhouse for Footage and Still Creators
Developed for creators who demand strong quality in both stills and footage, the Panasonic Lumix S1 II Mirrorless Camera produces flagship-level performance in an adaptable, full-frame body. Featuring a newly developed 24.1MP partially stacked CMOS sensor, high-speed readout, enhanced AI autofocus, and a rich set of pro footage tools, the S1 II bridges the gap between professional photo capture and cinematic production. Whether you're in studio, on location, or shooting handheld, this hybrid camera is constructed to adapt, inspire, and produce.

Precision and Advanced Sensor Design for Speed

At the center of the S1 II is a new 24.1MP full-frame partially stacked CMOS sensor, delivering faster readout and reliable low-light performance. Coupled with Panasonic's L2 Engine and Dynamic Range Boost technology, the camera captures incredibly clean, high-detail pictures across its ISO range-while enabling 96MP handheld high-resolution shooting and HEIF 10-bit file support for enhanced tonal flexibility in stills processes.

High-Performance Video: Cinematic Control

The S1 II is a robust footage tool offering an extensive selection of capture formats and frame rates, all with 10-bit depth and pro-level color tools:

• 6K 30p Open Gate (3:2) for multi-aspect flexibility
• 5.1K 60p 4:3 for immersive documentary or social content
• C4K and UHD 4K 120p for slow motion and fast action
• Oversampled 4K video from full-sensor readout
• V-Log and V-Gamut with 13+ stops of dynamic range
• Real Time LUT application for custom looks in-camera
• Dynamic Range Boost for improved highlight and shadow detail
• Full HDMI output and Frame.io Camera to Cloud support

These integrates enable hybrid creators to shoot confidently across cinema, commercial, and digital production settings—right out of the box.

Intelligent Autofocus: Subject Recognition

The Lumix S1 II provides a powerful Phase Hybrid AF system enhanced by AI-based subject detection and tracking. It produces fast, accurate autofocus even whenever subjects are moving unpredictably or partially obscured.

• Phase Hybrid Autofocus with 779 focus points

• Reliable AF performance in low-light and low-contrast scenes
• Blackout-free 70 fps burst shooting with continuous AF (AFC)
• Focus ring direction reversibility and linear/non-linear focus response control

This makes the S1 II a dependable tool for both still and motion capture where critical focus is a must.

Designed for production production flows

With blackout-free 70 fps burst shooting, 8.0-stop 5-axis stabilization, and Active I.S., the S1 II is ideal for handheld shooters and hybrid creators working across genres. It provides dual card slots (CFexpress Type B + SD UHS-II), a high-resolution tilting/free-angle LCD, and a durable body tested for cold weather performance down to 14°F. Support for the Lumix Lab, Lumix Flow, and Capture One plug-in additional extends its utility into professional post processes and mobile connectivity.
