The class-leading autofocus and image stabilisation
Phase Hybrid AF with advanced AI technology
High-speed, high-precision AF
Autofocus is all about precision and speed—and with the Phase Hybrid AF system, the LUMIX S1RII delivers both. Boasting 779 phase detection points, it ensures accurate tracking of moving subjects, even in the most demanding conditions. Combined with real-time recognition AF, it excels in tricky situations like backlighting, low-light environments, and when focusing on small subjects, so you can capture every moment with confidence.
Improved eye/face accuracy with advanced AI
High-resolution cameras demand extremely precise focusing. The LUMIX S1RII incorporates advanced AI technology for detecting human eyes and faces, resulting in enhanced recognition performance.* This model particularly excels in challenging scenes, such as when the subject's face is tilted or partially obscured, allowing for more accurate focusing on the eyes and face.
*When the Type of Subject in Automatic Detection is set to Human and Eye/Face is selected from Target Parts.
Evolved AF tracking + Real-time recognition
With Subject Detection* enabled in tracking mode, the new automatic tracking feature quickly identifies and locks onto a subject as soon as they pass through the designated tracking start point.
*You can switch between Human, Animal, Car, Motorcycle/Bike, Train, and Airplane in the Type of Subject menu under Automatic Detection.
Evolved AF tracking + Human recognition with advanced AI
The Tracking AF mode has seen a significant upgrade, with advanced AI that quickly analyses and identifies individual subjects. Even in fast-paced scenes, like sports, where multiple people might cross paths, the S1RII consistently tracks the subject you want with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring you never miss a crucial moment.
Frame a variety of subjects exactly as you intend
Evolved real-time recognition AF
The LUMIX S1RII now goes beyond humans, recognising a wide range of subjects, including animals, bicycles, cars, motorcycles, trains, and airplanes. You can also specify exactly what you want the camera to focus on—whether it’s human or animal eyes, a vehicle’s windshield, the helmet of a motorcyclist, or even the nose of an airplane. Plus, with the joystick, you can easily toggle between the left and right eyes of animals, just like with humans, for even more detailed control and precision in your shots.
･It may not be able to recognize all subjects as per the settings.
･The camera may sometimes recognize non-animal subjects as animals.
Powerful support for hand-held shooting and video shooting on the move
8.0-stop (center) / 7.0-stop (periphery) 5-axis B.I.S.*
7.0-stop (center) / 7.0-stop (periphery) 5-axis Dual I.S. 2**
The LUMIX S1RII features a 5-axis B.I.S. (Body Image Stabiliser) that effectively compensates for handshake, even with lenses that do not have O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser), allowing for slower shutter speeds of up to 8.0-stops (center) / 7.0-stops (periphery).*
In the telephoto range, where the compensation effect of the B.I.S. alone is reduced, the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 works in conjunction with the 2-axis O.I.S. to achieve a compensation effect of 7.0-stops (center) / 7.0-stops (periphery).** This enables you to express your creativity without worrying about handshake in various situations, including low-light environments and at telephoto distances.
*Center: 8.0-stop; Periphery: 7.0-stop. Based on the CIPA 2024 standard [Yaw/Pitch/Roll direction: focusing distance f = 60mm when S-R2060 is used. 5-axis.]
**Center: 7.0-stop; Periphery: 7.0-stop. Based on the CIPA 2024 standard [Yaw/Pitch/Roll direction: focusing distance f=105mm when S-R24105 is used. 5-axis.]
Smooth, Steady Handheld Video, Even on the Move
Advanced E.I.S. + Active I.S.
The LUMIX S1RII ensures smooth, stable video recording, even when shooting handheld while moving. With Active I.S., the camera detects and compensates for camera shake in the pitch, yaw, and roll directions, delivering steady footage. E.I.S. further reduces large camera shakes, resulting in a more natural and fluid video experience.
For additional flexibility, the cropless mode compensates for perspective distortion without altering the angle of view, especially when using wide-angle lenses.

*This feature can be set using a LUMIX S Series lens. There may be a reduction in the peripheral luminosity when Cropless is set depending on recording conditions such as the lens used, focal length, etc.
**There will be variations in the correction effect depending on recording conditions such as the lens used, the focal length, the video mode used for recording, etc.
