Lifelike detail with the new 44.3MP sensor

The LUMIX S1RII achieves the highest image quality in LUMIX history, featuring unique color science rooted in the LUMIX picture-making philosophy of "Capturing it All," along with the newly developed full-frame 44.3MP sensor. Additionally, by combining this sensor with a faster image processing high-performance engine with L2 technology, the camera delivers exceptionally delicate and natural rendering of reality with both high resolution and low noise. It also offers a wide sensitivity range from low ISO80 to high ISO51200*. The light captured by the sensor transforms into stunning imagery.

*ISO40-102400 when using the Extended ISO setting.

LUMIX’s uncompromising color expression

Photo Style
Standard mode serves as the benchmark for the LUMIX picture-making philosophy of “Capturing It All.” It accurately captures subjects as they truly are, achieving a fine balance between memory colors and reproduction. Additionally, depending on the shooting scene or your creative intent, you can choose from various photo styles, including Vivid, Natural and unique monochrome settings. Notably, the LEICA Monochrome mode embodies Leica's picture-making philosophy, offering deep contrasts between black and white. You can also adjust contrast and color saturation to suit your personal preferences.

Your unique color expressions, straight out of the camera

REAL TIME LUT
REAL TIME LUT is a feature that allows you to apply a LUT (Look-Up Table) directly within the camera for unique color expression. You can also create your own custom LUTs. In other words, this feature can be described as a way to "create an infinite number of photo styles." You can import LUTs provided by the LUMIX Lab app or your favorite creators online directly into the camera for both photo and video shooting. Additionally, you can layer two LUTs together to develop your own unique color styles. The supported LUT file formats are ".VLT" and ".CUBE".

LUMIX Lab app
LUMIX Lab is an app for iOS and Android™ devices, enabling wireless connectivity and control between LUMIX cameras and smartphones. Also, once you have transferred the image data from your camera to your smartphone, you can use the app to apply LUTs or create your own original LUTs using the app’s color adjustment function.

177MP ultra-high-resolution photos

Handheld High Resolution Shooting
The camera is equipped with a high-resolution mode, allowing you to capture even the finest details. Utilizing the in-body image stabilization (B.I.S.) system, it shifts the image sensor while continuously shooting, and by automatically combining eight shots, it generates an image equivalent to approximately 177MP. It supports both RAW and JPEG or in-camera RAW processing, delivering detailed expression with LUMIX's signature rendering. The LUMIX S1RII also supports this mode in handheld situations, making it flexible for use in locations where a tripod cannot be used.

Now supports HEIF format recording*

In addition to the conventional JPEG and RAW formats, this camera now supports HEIF recording in 4:2:0 10-bit.* Delivering rich 10-bit tonal gradation, the HEIF format offers higher compression efficiency than JPEG while supporting HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) photos. When viewed on an HDR display, images display natural brightness and color gradation, allowing you to enjoy results that more closely match human visual perception.

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

Fastest high-speed burst shooting in the LUMIX S Series*

AFC 40 fps burst shooting
By incorporating a new sensor, a high-pressure, high-durability DC motor, and optimizing the mechanical shutter control, we have achieved both high resolution and high-speed continuous shooting. The mechanical shutter allows for approximately 10 fps, while the electronic shutter achieves approximately 40 fps. This makes it ideal for capturing sports and wildlife.
In addition to the existing setting of capturing images while checking the subject in live view, the camera is equipped with an '“H+ (High Speed Plus)” mode that prioritizes burst shooting speed when the AFC setting is enabled. In H+ mode or SH mode display post view, allowing you to check framing without blackout and concentrate on shooting.

Go back in time

Pre-burst shooting
The most reliable way to seize a photo opportunity is to turn back time and capture the perfect shot. The LUMIX S1RII’s pre-burst shooting function offers options for 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5-second pre-burst settings. This feature enables you to capture hard-to-predict decisive moments, from the instant a water bird hits the surface of the water to the agile movements of an athlete.

Create images with sharp focus from foreground to background

Focus Stacking*
The Focus Stacking function combines multiple images taken at different focus distances to deliver stunning depth of field.** This is brilliantly useful when shooting close-ups or macro photography.

*Please update the firmware to version 1.2 or later. Download from here.
**The merging is performed after recording. Depending on the recording conditions and the number of pictures taken, image merging may take some time.
