Panasonic Lumix S1 II Mirrorless Camera Body

The Panasonic Lumix S1 II Mirrorless Camera is built for creators who demand top-tier performance in both still photography and video production. Housed in a full-frame body, it blends flagship-level capabilities with impressive flexibility, making it ideal for studio shoots, on-location work, or handheld use. At its core is a newly developed 24.1MP partially stacked CMOS sensor that enables faster readout speeds and outstanding low-light performance. Paired with Panasonic’s advanced L2 Engine and Dynamic Range Boost, the S1 II delivers incredibly detailed, clean images across a wide ISO range. It also supports 96MP handheld high-resolution modes and 10-bit HEIF files, giving photographers greater tonal depth and post-processing flexibility.

The camera stands out as a professional video solution, offering a broad range of formats and frame rates, all captured in 10-bit depth with pro-level color tools. These include 6K 30p Open Gate in 3:2 for flexible cropping, 5.1K 60p in 4:3 for immersive content, and C4K or UHD 4K at 120p for dynamic slow motion. Video is oversampled from the full sensor readout for exceptional clarity, and cinematic workflows are supported with V-Log, V-Gamut with 13+ stops of dynamic range, Real Time LUT application, and full-size HDMI output. Features like Frame.io Camera to Cloud integration and Dynamic Range Boost for enhanced highlight and shadow detail further elevate its video capabilities, making the S1 II ready for cinema, commercial, and digital productions right out of the box.

Autofocus is powered by a sophisticated Phase Hybrid AF system with 779 focus points, enhanced by AI-driven subject recognition. It can reliably detect and track humans, faces, eyes, animals, and even vehicles, maintaining fast and accurate focus - even when subjects are partially hidden or moving unpredictably. The system excels in low-light and low-contrast conditions, with blackout-free burst shooting at up to 70 fps using continuous autofocus. For additional precision, the camera allows customizable focus ring direction and supports both linear and non-linear focus response.

Engineered for the demands of professional workflows, the S1 II is equipped with 8.0-stop 5-axis in-body stabilization and Active I.S., ensuring smooth, stable handheld footage and images across genres. It features dual memory card slots - one CFexpress Type B and one SD UHS-II - for fast, flexible storage options. A tilting and free-angle high-resolution LCD makes it easy to compose from any angle, and the camera is built to withstand cold temperatures as low as 14°F. Integration with tools like Lumix Lab, Lumix Flow, and Capture One plug-in support extends its utility into seamless mobile connectivity and advanced post-production environments.
