Ultimate Hybrid. Fuel the Passion for Stills and Video

A new 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor that delivers incredibly realistic detail. 4K video recording with no time limit, meeting professional needs.* Going beyond the boundaries of still and video, this full-frame mirrorless camera inspires passionate image creation.

* Maximum 29 minutes 59 seconds in 4K 60p/50p until the SD Memory Card becomes full or the battery runs out. When the ambient temperature is high or continuous recording is performed, the camera may stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.

6-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. 2

The LUMIX S1R/S1 integrates the Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) with 5.5-stop compensation power.*1 Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lenses, the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 compensates for larger movements that were conventionally uncontrollable.*2 It is highly beneficial for telephoto shots and adverse situations, such as in low light or with one-handed shooting with a 6-stop slower shutter speed.*3

*1 Based on the CIPA standard (Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=50mm when S-X50 is used.)
*2 5-Axis Dual I.S.2 can be used with the lens S-R24105 and S-R70200 as of February 1, 2019.
*3 Based on the CIPA standard (Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=200mm when S-R70200 is used.)

96MP High Resolution Mode

In this mode, eight consecutive images are automatically shot while shifting the sensor using the Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) mechanism. Then, the new Venus Engine, which boasts high-speed signal processing, synthesizes the images into a 96-megapixel equivalent (12,000 x 8,000-pixel) RAW file. This mode is excellent for shooting ultra-detailed nature shots with a tripod, as well as other works of art that combine grandeur with precision. MODE 1 produces shots of moving subjects that appear to be fluid and in motion, while MODE 2 corrects for such motion to produce a static image.

 

4K 60p/50p Smooth Video Recording

4K 60p/50p video recording is available in the LUMIX S1R/S1. Furthermore, the LUMIX S1 is capable of recording a full-pixel readout of signals and a crop factor of 1.0x in 30p/25p to save tuly beautiful footage with no time limited* for both FULL-HD and 4K 30p/25p, as well as HDR video recording. The LUMIX S1 will comply with 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 30p/25p internal video recording, 4K 60p/50p HDMI output and V-Log with a software upgrade key (to be sold separately).*

* Maximum recording time of 60 minutes in 4K 60p until memory card becomes full or the battery runs out
* 50p and 25p recording only for 50Hz area

High Dynamic Range Still Photo – HLG Photo Mode

HLG Photo mode supports a new style of photographic enjoyment on the screen of HLG-compliant devices - one in which rendering of bright light is especially impressive. HPS files, which compress a high degree of brightness, are displayed as images with breathtaking reproduction of dynamic range and extremely fine gradations of light and dark.

Advanced AF and AI Technology

Panasonic has achieved a high-speed AF with its advanced control technology over lens, sensor and imaging engine. The lens and sensor communicate at a maximum 480fps. Combining the Contrast AF with DFD technology, the LUMIX S1 realizes an ultra high-speed, high precision AF of approximately 0.08 sec.*

*11EV at wide-end with S-R24105[CIPA] in LVF120 fps setting.

 

Adoption of AI Technology

The LUMIX S1/S1R also incorporates Advanced AI technology that detect specific subjects - human and fast-moving animals. The LUMIX S1/S1R keeps tracking these subjects even when they turn their back to the camera.

Low-light AF in -6EV Condition

Low-light AF in -6EV Condition As a camera that exels in low-light shooting, the LUMIX S1R/S1 boasts -6EV* luminance detection performanace with Low Light AF thanks to the higher sensitivity and optimzed tuning of the sensor.

*At ISO 100, F1.4 AFS. 100% contrast target.

5,760k dots Live View Finder

The Live View Finder baosts the world's highest 5,760k-dots resolution.* Adoption of a high-speed, high precision OLED for the LVF achieves smooth display at 60fps/120fps and high-speed response with minimum time lag of less than 0.005 sec.

*As a Full-frame Digital Single Lens Mirrorless Camera, as of February 1, 2019.

Double Memory Card Slot

The Double Memory Card slot is compatible with SD Memory Cards (UHS-II) and XQD Memory Cards for high-speed, high capacity, continuous data recording.* It will also be compatible with Cfexpress in the near future.

* XQD is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Rugged Design

To be tough enough to withstand heavy field use, the main structure is composed of a magnesium alloy full die-cast front/rear frame. Robust construction and a sealing for every joint, dial, and button make the LUMIX S1R/S1 not only dust resistant and splash resistant but also operates down to -10 degrees Centigrade.* The shutter unit is also durable for approximately 400,000 cycles.

* Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.

Unlimited Possibilities with L-Mount

Panasonic, Leica Camera and Sigma are set to offer a user-friendly solution that will allow photographer to "mix and match" any of the three manufactures' APS-C and full-frame camera with any lens from each other's product portfolios.The L-Mount thereby opens up an almost limitless spectrum of new creative possibilities.
