Introducing the Panasonic Lumix S1 II Mirrorless Camera
Designed for this previously mentioned creator class who demands exceptional quality in both stills and video, the Panasonic Lumix S1 II Mirrorless Camera is set to deliver flagship-level performance in a flexible, full-frame body.
Powered by a newly developed 24.1MP partially stacked CMOS sensor, high-speed readout, advanced AI autofocus, and a rich set of pro video tools, the Lumix S1 II will help bridge the gap between professional photo capture and cinematic production. Whether you're in a studio, on location, or shooting handheld, this hybrid camera has been built to adapt, inspire, and deliver in a variety of shooting situations.
Powered by Advanced Sensor Design
As mentioned above, at the heart of the S1 II is a new 24.1MP full-frame partially stacked CMOS sensor that will be able to deliver faster readout and exceptional low-light performance than previous Lumix models.
This, when coupled with Panasonic's L2 Engine and Dynamic Range Boost technology, will help the camera capture incredibly clean, high-detail images across its ISO range while enabling 96MP handheld high-resolution shooting and HEIF 10-bit file support for enhanced tonal flexibility in stills workflows.
For video specifically, the S1 II will further offer some robust video tools offering a wide range of recording 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
All of these features are squarely aimed at allowing hybrid creators to shoot confidently across cinema, commercial, and digital production environments as a true grab-and-go solution.
