The uncompromising colour reproduction of LUMIX

Photography style
Normal mode is the epitome of LUMIX's imaging philosophy, "Capturing It All". It captures subjects exactly as they are, providing a fine balance between memory colour and reproduction. Plus, depending on the scene you're shooting or your creative intentions, you can choose from a range of shooting styles, including vibrant, natural and unique monochrome settings. Notably, LEICA Monochrome mode embodies Leica's imaging philosophy, offering deep contrast between black and white. You can also adjust contrast and colour saturation to suit your personal preferences.

Your unique colour expressions, straight from the camera

REAL-TIME LUT
"REAL TIME LUT" is a feature that allows you to apply a LUT (Look-Up Table) directly in-camera for a unique colour expression. You can also create your own custom LUTs. In other words, this feature can be described as "creating an infinite number of photo styles". You can import LUTs provided by the LUMIX Lab app or your favourite creators directly into the camera online for shooting and video. You can also stack up to two LUTs to create your own unique colour styles. Supported LUT file formats are .VLT and .CUBE.

177 MP ultra-high resolution photos

High-resolution manual shooting
The camera also features a high-resolution mode that allows you to capture even the finest details. It uses the built-in image stabilisation (B.I.S.) system in the body to shift the image sensor during continuous shooting. It automatically combines eight shots to produce an image equivalent to approximately 177 MP. It supports both RAW and JPEG formats, as well as in-camera RAW processing, providing detailed imaging with LUMIX's signature image processing. The LUMIX S1RII also supports this mode for manual use, giving you the flexibility to use it in places where a tripod is not available.

The fastest, high-speed burst shooting in the LUMIX S Series

AFC 40 frames per second continuous shooting
A new sensor, a high-pressure, high-durability DC motor and optimized mechanical shutter control allow you to capture high-resolution, high-speed continuous shooting. The mechanical shutter allows a frame rate of around 10 fps, while the electronic shutter allows speeds of around 40 fps, making it ideal for capturing sporting events and wildlife. In addition to the existing settings - such as shooting while checking the subject in live view - the camera also features an "H+ (High Speed Plus)" mode, which gives priority to continuous shooting speeds when the AFC setting is enabled. In H or SH mode, the after view is displayed, allowing you to check the image setting without blacking out and concentrate on the shot.

Back in time

Making a pre-series
The most reliable way to capture a photo opportunity is to rewind time and get the perfect shot. The LUMIX S1RII's pre-serial shooting function offers 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 second pre-serial shooting settings. This feature allows you to capture those elusive, decisive moments, such as the moment you want to capture when a waterfowl reaches the surface of the water or when an athlete demonstrates a subtle movement.

Advanced video features. 8K video for the first time in LUMIX history.

8K with 30p resolution and a full range of shooting modes to meet the needs of professional workflows

8.1K / 8K 30p 4:2:0 10 bits
The LUMIX S1RII is the first to offer 8.1K (17:9) and 8K (16:9) video recording for LUMIX. With an impressive resolution of four times 4K, it captures every detail, from individual hairs and skin textures to the fine detail of wide landscapes. It also supports wide dynamic range log colour profile recording, allowing you to capture immersive footage.
6.4K 30p 4:2:0 10-bit Open Gate video recording
The LUMIX S1RII can record 6.4K resolution Open Gate video using the entire sensor area. This allows you to crop around the image during post-production while preserving image quality, so you can remain flexible in framing to suit any social media platform or client needs.
4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit and 4K 30p 4:2:2 10-bit
The LUMIX S1RII offers several different recording modes for high-end editing. 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit ALL-Intra recording combines a huge amount of information with increased resolution through oversampling, delivering exceptional video quality. 4K 120p 4:2:0 10-bit high frame rate video recording allows you to create slow-motion video with sound by converting frame rate using non-linear editing software.
Assisted video capture
It is also possible to record a low bit rate proxy file. Simultaneous recording of a proxy file linked to the original video recording greatly improves the efficiency of post-production operations such as data transfer and editing.

New "Cinelike A2" photo style

Choose from a selection of photo styles according to the shooting scene or shooting intent. The new photo style "Cinelike A2" offers a wide dynamic range and rich colour gradient, making it suitable for a wide range of scenes. In addition, the Eyeball Effect* and Colour Noise* can now be applied to videos, expanding the possibilities for 'ready-to-use' shots taken directly with the camera.

* Adjustable setting that varies depending on the Photo Style mode.

Allows flexible polishing

14+ V-Log/V-Gamut* settings
The LUMIX S1RII provides ultra-high resolution 8K video recording and 14 levels* of dynamic range when dynamic range boost is enabled. It captures vivid detail from dark areas to highlights, so you can shoot HDR videos with rich colour transition. The LUMIX S and G Series cameras have a consistent gamma pattern and uniform look, which increases post-production efficiency.

*Dynamic range boost (log) BE: 14 stops. Dynamic range boost (log) OFF: 13 stops.

Better mobility with internal RAW video recording

ProRes RAW HQ / ProRes RAW footage can be recorded directly to a CFexpress Type B card, which is located inside the camera body itself. This means that you can capture the moment with minimal setup and no external devices or cables are required, providing greater mobility for one-on-one assignments and smaller scale shoots. It can also handle a range of other situations, such as when shooting with a gimbal or in tight spaces, giving you increased creative freedom.

Supports 8K resolution external video output

Support for 8.1K/7.2K RAW video output is also planned
The LUMIX S1RII allows 8K video data to be transferred to an external device via HDMI. In addition, a future firmware update is planned to enable support for RAW video data output, including 8.1K (3:2) resolution. RAW video capture, available on ATOMOS or Blackmagic Design recorders, simplifies the video creation workflow and supports the production of high quality video.

Comprehensive video creation support and scalability

Now with False Color

Full range of utility functions
LUMIX cameras have a comprehensive set of video assist tools, including Waveform (WFM), Vectorscope, Point Luminance Measurement and Histogram. In addition, the LUMIX S1RII also offers a False Color function that displays brightness levels as color, providing even more reliable support for your shooting needs.

Predicting different content aspects

Frame marking
Different aspect ratios are available, such as 2.39:1 and 2.35:1 for cinematic viewing, and 1:1 and 4:5 for social media content. The LUMIX S1RII also features a mask function designed for cropping during post-production, so you can capture precisely composed images. In addition to a total of 10 preset patterns, custom settings are also available.

Easily check recording status or standby mode

Front/rear recording indicator light
Front and rear recording indicator lights mounted on the front and rear of the camera body allow you to see the recording status behind and in front of the camera. You can adjust the brightness and turn each light on and off separately.

Top-of-the-range autofocus and image stabilisation

Phase hybrid AF with advanced AI technology

High-speed precision autofocus
The most important aspect of autofocus is reliability. It all depends on how quickly and accurately you can capture the subject. Phase Hybrid AF uses 779 focus points to capture dynamically moving subjects efficiently. Combined with real-time detection AF, the LUMIX S1RII delivers exceptional autofocus performance even in challenging conditions such as backlighting, low light and small subjects.
Improved eye/face accuracy with advanced artificial intelligence (AI)
High-resolution cameras require extremely precise focusing. The LUMIX S1RII uses advanced AI technology to detect human eyes and faces, resulting in enhanced recognition performance.* This camera enables more accurate focusing on the eyes and face in particularly challenging scenes, such as when the subject's face is tilted or partially obscured.

*When the subject is set to People in Auto Detect and Eye/Face is selected in the Target section.

Improved AF tracking + Real-time detection
Set Automatic Detection* and move the AF frame to the point where you want to start tracking the subject. AF tracking will automatically start as soon as the subject enters the AF frame, meaning you can focus on composing and always be ready to shoot.

*You can switch between Human, Animal, Car, Motorcycle/Bicycle, Train and Airplane in the Subject Type menu under Auto Detect.

Advanced AF tracking + People detection with advanced AI
Tracking AF mode performance has been dramatically improved.* Advanced AI instantly analyses the characteristics of individuals and identifies individual subjects. Even in scenes where multiple people cross paths, such as at sporting events, it consistently and accurately tracks the specified person. **

*If AF Mode is set to Follow, and Subject Type under Auto Detect is set to People, and Eye/Arc/Test is selected in the Target section.
**You may select a different subject if you detect clothing, color, or posture similar to the settings, or if the subject you want to shoot is hidden for an extended period of time.

You can set up the different themes exactly the way you want

Improved real-time detection AF
In addition to people, animals, cars, motorcycles, trains and planes, the LUMIX S1RII now also recognises bicycles. You can also specify the subject of the recognition in detail according to the frame, including human and animal eyes, vehicle windshields, helmets of drivers and motorcyclists, or the nose of an airplane. What's more, you can now use the joystick to switch between the left and right eyes of animals in the same way as you do for human eyes.

Intuitive controls that work in sync with the creator

The perfect monitor for any style

Newly developed 1 840 000 dots tilt and free angle rear monitor
The 3.0-inch LCD display of the LUMIX S1RII 1840k pixels has a flexible tilt mechanism that combines tilt and free angle mechanisms. For still imaging, the tilt mechanism allows the monitor to move up and down along the optical axis for convenient framing. The LUMIX S1RII also offers exceptional convenience when shooting video. When set up with accessories, such as mounts, the display can be freely rotated while tilted without interfering with the HDMI or USB cable.

Height-adjusted resolution viewfinder

Real-time OLED viewfinder with 5760 MP resolution
The LUMIX S1RII's viewfinder has a resolution of 5760k pixels, which rivals that of human vision. Its OLED display delivers excellent response speed and exceptional clarity and sharpness to reliably capture fast-moving subjects. In addition, the high contrast ratio (around 10 000:1) means that subject colour transitions are continuous and the image is extremely clear. Well-fitting eyecups further enhance the immersive experience.

Intuitive usability

Designed to make you and your camera one
With a compact design that fits comfortably in the hand and weighing around 795 grams, the LUMIX S1RII also features an ergonomically designed button and dial layout that offers intuitive operation tailored to your shooting style.
