Panasonic LUMIX S1II Mirrorless Digital Camera Body
The Panasonic LUIMX S1II is a masterful upgrade from its predecessor, the LUMIX S1. Formed around the brand-new 24mp partially stacked sensor, this is Panasonic’s fastest full-frame camera. Impressive video features run throughout, including the ability to record Open Gate in either 6k 30p or 5.1k 60p, as well as film in 10-bit 2.4:1 Cinemascope up to 120p. With the LUMIX S1II, dynamic and detailed video and photo footage is easy to create.
Also available as a kit: Panasonic LUMIX S1II with 24-105mm Lens
Partially Stacked 24MP Sensor
Panasonic developed a brand-new partially stacked sensor for the LUMIX S1II. 3.5x faster than the LUIMX S5II, the sensor eliminates rolling shutter and performs with 15+ stops of dynamic range; Panasonic’s highest ever. The Dynamic Range Boost retains details in both highlights and shadows, allowing for filming to take place in difficult lighting environments and still be recoverable.
Improved, High Speed Autofocus
Alongside traditional subject recognition of humans, animals, planes, trains and automobiles, the S1II can recognise street dance, freestyle football, skateboarding, BMX and parkour in the newly developed Urban Sports Autofocus. Tackling fast-moving subjects such as these is achieved thanks to the impressive sensor, and it works in combination with the high-speed burst modes for pinpoint detail.
6K Open Gate Video
Frame and crop video to suit your needs with the S1 Mark II’s Open Gate video recording. This video camera can record open gate, using cropless IBIS in both 6k 30p and 5.1k 60p, offering a huge amount of potential for filming content for YouTube and TikTok, or working to clients’ briefs. Further video specifications that make this camera a powerhouse are the ability to record in 2.4:1 Cinemascope up to 120p 10-bit and Full HD up to 240p 10-bit.
70fps Burst Shooting
Capture every high-speed moment with up to 70 frames per second, black-out-free burst shooting (with electronic shutter). Or, use the mechanical shutter for 10 frames per second. Not only this, with 1.5-second pre-burst capture, fewer moments will be missed, ensuring you get that once-in-a-lifetime shot.
Video Assist Functions
As a professional video camera, the LUMIX S1M2 has many video assist functions to bring your ideas to life. These include a tally lamp, Bluetooth Time Code Sync with ultra-sync blue, false colour, peaking and zebra, AI auto white balance and many more.
You can also record directly to an SSD, ideal for dealing with larger file formats, or easily copy and back up to your SSD from your SD or CFexpress card. There are also new colour styles, including Cinelike A2 and Arri Log C3*, which is available for the first time in a full-frame Panasonic Camera.
*Requires purchase of an SF key, which will be available soon.
Photo Assist Functions
On top of excellent video functions, the S1II also has professional image features such as new HEIF photo support for superior compression and image quality. The camera is also compatible with Capture One, which makes it ideal for tethering and studio work.
32-bit float audio
Achieve high-quality audio with 32-bit float audio. A format that offers a much wider dynamic range compared to standard 16-bit or 24-bit, this format allows for greater flexibility in post-production.
Tactile Body
The LUMIX S1II weighs approximately 800g, making it relatively lightweight. It has a wide range of tactile buttons, including a Stills/Video/S&Q switch that makes it easy to quickly move between modes, and an additional dial easily switches between burst modes.
On the front of the camera is a tally light and a record button for ease of use, especially when doing pieces to camera. And on the side, you can record to both SD and CFexpress Type B card slots.
