Advanced video features. LUMIX’s first 8K video.
Featuring 8K25p and a full range of recording modes to meet the needs of professional workflows
8.1K / 8K 30p 4:2:0 10-bit
The LUMIX S1RII offers 8.1K (17:9) and 8K (16:9) video recording for the first time for LUMIX. With an impressive resolution four times that of 4K, it captures every detail, from individual strands of hair and skin texture to the fine details of vast landscapes. Additionally, it supports wide dynamic range log recording, enabling the creation of immersive footage.
6.4K 30p 4:2:0 10-bit open gate video recording
The LUMIX S1RII is capable of recording 6.4K in open gate video, which uses the entire sensor area. This makes it possible to crop the image in post-production retaining image quality, enabling flexible framing for any social media platform or client needs.
4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit ALL-Intra / 4K 120p 4:2:0 10-bit
The LUMIX S1RII also offers recording modes for high-end editing. 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit ALL-Intra recording combines a huge amount of information with enhanced resolution through oversampling, delivering exceptional video quality. 4K 120p 4:2:0 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.
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 video recording is not possible for MP4, exceeding a resolution of C4K, 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio, high frame rate video.
･The recording time varies depending on the shooting format and the operating conditions. It will stop automatically once the internal temperature gets too high.
･Depending on the Rec Quality and Image Area of Video settings, the following crop zoom rates are used for recording:
When Image Area of Video is FULL
5.9K video (60p/50p/48p): Approx. 1.11x, 5.8K video (60p/50p/48p): Approx.1.04x, C4K video (120p/100p): Approx. 1.1x, C4K video (60p/50p/48p): Approx. 1.04x, 4K video (120p/100p): Approx. 1.17x, 4K video (60p/50p/48p): Approx. 1.11x, FHD video (120p/100p): Approx. 1.17x, FHD video (60p/50p/48p): Approx. 1.11x
When Image Area of Video is PIXEL/PIXEL
C4K video (120p/100p): Approx. 1.1x, 4K video (120p/100p): Approx. 1.1x
New Photo Style "Cinelike A2“
Choose photo styles that can be selected according to the shooting scene or shooting intent. The new photo style, "Cinelike A2," features a wide dynamic range and rich gradation, making it suitable for a variety of 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.
Enables flexible color grading
14 stops V-Log/V-Gamut*
The LUMIX S1RII provides both ultra-high-resolution 8K video recording and 14 stops* of dynamic range when Dynamic Range Expansion is enabled. It faithfully captures details from dark areas to highlights, allowing you to create HDR videos with rich gradation. The LUMIX S and G Series cameras feature unified gamma characteristics and a consistent look, enhancing efficiency in post-production.
*Dynamic Range Expansion (Log) ON: 14 stops. Dynamic Range Expansion (Log) OFF: 13 stops.
･When using Dynamic Range Expansion (Log), the ISO sensitivity lower limit is 400 (when set to Extended ISO: 200).
･When using Dynamic Range Expansion (Log), the video image quality is restricted and there will be an increase in rolling shutter distortion.
･When using Dynamic Range Expansion (Log), power consumption increases and the battery is consumed faster. The temperature increase in the camera is also faster.
･When Dynamic Range Expansion (Log) is set, the following functions are not available:
– Rec Quality with a recording frame rate that exceeds 30.00p
– Rec Quality with a resolution of 6.4K and a recording frame rate that exceeds 25.00p
– Live Cropping
Improved mobility achieved through internal RAW video recording
Capture stunning ProRes RAW HQ / ProRes RAW footage directly to a CFexpress Type B card—no external devices or cables needed. This streamlined setup offers greater flexibility for solo creators and small-scale productions, making it easier to shoot on the go. Whether using a gimbal, working in tight spaces, or keeping your setup lightweight, internal RAW recording gives you the freedom to focus on your creativity.

Supports external output of 8K video
Support for 8.1K/7.2K RAW video data output also planned
The LUMIX S1RII enables 8K video data to be output to an external device over HDMI. In addition, a future firmware update is scheduled to enable support for RAW video data output, including 8.1K (3:2). RAW video recording on an ATOMOS recorder or a Blackmagic Design recorder streamlines the video production workflow and supports the production of high-quality video.
*Firmware update scheduled for 2025.
Versatile & Powerful Support for Video Production
Now with False Colour
Full range of assist functions
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 S1RII also offers False Colour, which displays brightness levels as colours, providing even more reliable support for your shooting needs.
Perfect Your Framing for Any Content
Frame Marker
The LUMIX S1RII gives you full control over your content’s aspect ratio, from cinematic 2.39:1 and 2.35:1 to social media-friendly 9:16 and 4:5. With its built-in mask function for post-production cropping, you can shoot with precision and flexibility, ensuring your framing is spot-on every time. Choose from 10 preset patterns or customise your settings to suit your unique creative vision.
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. You can adjust the brightness and turn each of these lamps on and off individually.
Streamlined video production management in the app
New LUMIX Flow app
From storyboarding to efficient shooting and automatic organising 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 and use your smartphone as an external monitor, making checking monitors and framing much more convenient.
Consistent, Reliable Audio in Unstable Environments
32-bit float recording
When paired with the XLR Microphone Adaptor DMW-XLR2 (sold separately), the LUMIX S1RII offers 32-bit float recording, capturing a wide dynamic range with exceptional clarity. This format handles everything from subtle to loud sounds with high resolution, ensuring consistent, high-quality audio even in environments with fluctuating volumes. Plus, with both video and audio recorded in a single file, your editing workflow becomes smoother and more efficient, saving you time and hassle.
16-bit / 24-bit linear recording
Manual sound recording level adjustment required depending on the environment.
32-bit float recording
No need for sound recording level adjustment in most recording environments.
Dual AD converters
16-bit / 24-bit linear recording: Processed with a single AD converter after adjusting the sound input level.
32-bit float recording: Processed with dual AD converters optimised for large and small sound input levels.
Advantages when gain increasing in editing
16-bit / 24-bit linear recording: Increasing the volume during editing reduces resolution.
32-bit float recording: Increasing the volume during editing maintains resolution.
Advantages when gain decreasing in editing
16-bit / 24-bit linear recording: Reducing the volume during editing leaves the audio waveform distorted.
32-bit float recording: Reducing the volume during editing preserves the audio waveform.
