LUMIX S1RII 2: Videography

Advanced video features. LUMIX's first 8K video.

Featuring 8K 30p 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.

8.1K 24p* / 7.2K 30p* open gate video recording
The LUMIX S1RII is capable of recording 8.1K 24p*, 7.2K 30p* and 6.4K 30p 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.

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

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 Color 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

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.

Reliable recording even when volume is unstable

32-bit float recording
When used with the XLR Microphone Adaptor DMW-XLR2 (sold separately), the LUMIX S1RII 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.
