6K 30p 4:2:0 10-bit (3:2) open gate video recording
Offering open gate recording 6K 30p 4:2:0 10-bit (3:2), this model allows for flexible post-production cropping while maintaining image quality. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of social media platforms and client needs. RAW video output via HDMI is also supported.

Cs4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit ALL-Intra (2.4:1)
Cs4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit high frame rate video recording allows you to create slow-motion video with audio by converting the frame rate using non-linear editing software. In addition, C4K/4K 60p recording is available with no time limit.*

*The recording time varies depending on the shooting format and the operating conditions. It will stop automatically once the internal temperature gets too high.

Proxy video recording
It is also possible to record a low-bitrate proxy file*. Simultaneously recording a proxy file that is linked with the original video recording greatly improves the efficiency of post-production work, such as data transfer and editing. Proxy files can also be recorded to the internal memory card even during RAW video data output.

*Proxy video recording is not possible for MP4, exceeding a resolution of C4K, 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio, high frame rate video.

MP4(Lite)*
With firmware version 1.2, MP4(Lite) support brings a faster, more efficient workflow through lower bitrates and smaller file sizes. You can capture open gate 3.8K 30p (3:2) footage and then crop to any aspect ratio with ease. It is ideal for creating and sharing short-form content on social media.

*Please update the firmware to version 1.2. Download from here.

Cinelike A2 — Capture the cinematic look

The photo style "Cinelike A2" delivers a cinematic look with rich tonal gradations and a wide dynamic range. Based on a natural colours profile, it adds depth by subtly adjusting the brightness of individual colours, making it ideal for capturing film-like visuals across a variety of shooting scenes.
Additionally, it is now possible to apply Grain Effect* and Colour Noise* to videos, expanding the options for a "ready-to-use" look straight out of the camera.

*Adjustable settings vary depending on the Photo Style mode.

Improved mobility achieved through internal RAW video recording

ProRes RAW HQ / ProRes RAW footage can be recorded directly to a CFexpress Type B card inside the camera body itself. This means you can capture the moment with minimal setup and no need for external devices or cables, offering greater mobility for one-man operations and small-scale shoots. It can also handle a variety of other situations, such as shooting with a gimbal or in confined spaces, giving you more creative freedom.

Robust video production assistance and scalability

Full range of assist functions including False Colour

LUMIX cameras come equipped with a comprehensive set of video assist tools, including Waveform (WFM), Vector Scope, Luminance Spot Meter, and Histogram. In addition to these features, the LUMIX S1IIE also offers False Colour, which displays brightness levels as colours, providing even more reliable support for your shooting needs.

False Color displays brightness levels as colors

Anticipating a variety of content aspects

Frame Marker
There are various aspect ratios, such as 2.39:1 and 2.35:1 for cinema, and 1:1 and 4:5 for social media. The LUMIX S1IIE is equipped with a mask function designed for post-production cropping, allowing you to shoot with precise framing. With firmware version 1.1, the number of available aspect ratios increases from 10 to 17, and up to three frames can be displayed at the same time.*

*Please update the firmware to version 1.1 or later. Download from here.

Up to three frames can be displayed at the same time

Easily check recording status or standby mode

Front/rear tally lamp
The tally lamps mounted on the front and rear of the camera body allow both the person behind the camera and those in front to see the recording status. The rear tally lamp also functions as a card access light. You can adjust the brightness and turn each of these lamps on and off individually.

Streamlined video production management in the app

LUMIX Flow app
From storyboarding to efficient shooting and automatic organisation of shooting files, this app supports the entire workflow for scenario-based video production. What's more, you can connect your camera and smartphone via the app using USB or Wi-Fi and use your smartphone as an external monitor, making checking monitors and framing much more convenient.

Reliable recording even when volume is unstable

32-bit float recording
When used with the XLR Microphone Adaptor DMW-XLR2 (sold separately), the LUMIX S1IIE delivers 32-bit float recording. With its wide dynamic range, the 32-bit float format can cover everything from small to large sounds with high resolving power. Therefore, even in recording environments with large fluctuations in volume, you can ensure high-quality sound sources without having to frequently make sound recording level adjustments. Furthermore, video and audio are recorded in a single file, making editing work much more efficient.

16-bit / 24-bit linear recording

Manual sound recording level adjustment required depending on the environment.

Distorted sound at large input levels. Reduced sound quality at small input levels.

32-bit float recording

No need for sound recording level adjustment in most recording environments.

High-quality recording with exceptional resolving capability across the entire range

Dual AD converters

16-bit / 24-bit linear recording: Processed with a single AD converter after adjusting the sound input level.

Processed with a single AD converter

32-bit float recording: Processed with dual AD converters optimised for large and small sound input levels.

Combines the outputs of the two AD converters to generate audio with suppressed distortion and low noise

Advantages when gain increasing in editing

16-bit / 24-bit linear recording: Increasing the volume during editing reduces resolution.

Audio waveform when volume is increased

32-bit float recording: Increasing the volume during editing maintains resolution.

Audio waveform when volume is increased

Advantages when gain decreasing in editing

16-bit / 24-bit linear recording: Reducing the volume during editing leaves the audio waveform distorted.

Exceeding 0dBFS results in clipping leading to audio distortion

32-bit float recording: Reducing the volume during editing preserves the audio waveform.

No clipping occurs even when exceeding 0dBFS

More flexibility for cinema use

ARRI LogC3 recording*
With the Upgrade Software Key DMW-SFU3A (sold separately) and firmware version 1.1**, users can use the ARRI LogC3, which enables colour matching with ARRI’s digital cinema cameras. The image processing of the ARRI LogC3 curve on LUMIX S1IIE has been certified by ARRI for the implementation of this function. The options for Log recording, which provides rich colour information and a wide dynamic range, have been expanded to include ARRI LogC3 in addition to the conventional V-Log, further improving LUMIX’s workflow compatibility.

*Firmware update scheduled for 2025.
**The DMW-SFU3A software upgrade key (sold separately) is required to activate the ARRI LogC3.
・ARRI LogC3 is a Log gamma developed by ARRI and used in ARRI digital cinema cameras. Please note: ALEXA 35 uses ARRI LogC4.
・On the LUMIX S1IIE, ARRI LogC3 can be used for 10bit recording in video mode.
