Designed for Speed

The newly developed partially stacked CMOS sensor delivers significantly faster readout speeds than conventional full-frame sensors. This enables the LUMIX S1II to capture incredibly sharp images with outstanding detail while greatly reducing rolling shutter effects during video recording. Fast-moving subjects are easily captured with continuous shooting at up to 70 frames per second using the electronic shutter and continuous autofocus.

Professional Video Performance

Designed for modern filmmakers and content creators, the LUMIX S1II supports an extensive range of professional recording formats. Capture Open Gate video at up to 6K 30p or 5.1K 60p in 10-bit, providing maximum flexibility for vertical video, multiple aspect ratios, and advanced post-production workflows. The camera also records C4K and 4K video at up to 120 fps for smooth slow-motion footage, while oversampled 4K delivers exceptional sharpness with minimal noise.

With V-Log, V-Gamut, and up to 15 stops of dynamic range, the S1II offers outstanding flexibility for professional color grading and HDR production.

Advanced AI Autofocus

The latest Phase Hybrid Autofocus system combines speed, precision, and intelligent subject tracking. Advanced AI recognition accurately detects and tracks human eyes and faces, even when partially obscured or viewed at an angle. The camera also introduces Urban Sports recognition, allowing reliable tracking of fast-moving athletes and dynamic action scenes. Motorcycle recognition has also been expanded to include bicycles.

Powerful Image Stabilization

The integrated 5-axis in-body image stabilization provides up to 8 stops of compensation, enabling sharp handheld photography even at slower shutter speeds. For video creators, Active I.S. minimizes camera shake during handheld walking shots, while the cropless stabilization mode is ideal for ultra-wide-angle filming.

Professional Workflow

The LUMIX S1II is equipped with dual memory card slots, including CFexpress Type B support for high-speed continuous shooting and high-bitrate video recording. It also supports direct recording to external USB SSD drives, providing maximum flexibility for long recording sessions. Additional professional features such as REAL TIME LUT support, HEIF image recording, and the 96MP High Resolution Mode make the camera perfectly suited to demanding production environments.

Built for Demanding Environments

Constructed with a robust magnesium alloy body, the LUMIX S1II is dust, splash, and freeze resistant, making it ideal for professional use in challenging conditions. Despite its powerful capabilities, the camera remains compact and ergonomically designed, weighing approximately 800 grams including battery and memory card.
