Camera OverviewPanasonic S1II

The Panasonic LUMIX S1II is a full-frame mirrorless camera built around a 24.2MP sensor and powered by the Venus Engine image processor. It uses the L-Mount lens system, opening access to a broad ecosystem of compatible glass. The autofocus system combines Phase Detection, Contrast Detection, Eye Detection, Face Detection, Animal Detection, and AI-Based Subject Tracking across 779 focus points — a comprehensive hybrid setup suited to a wide range of subjects and shooting conditions.

Burst shooters will appreciate the 30fps maximum burst rate, while the ISO range of 100–51200 provides solid flexibility across lighting conditions. On the video side, the S1II records up to 4K at 60fps in 10-bit depth, with color profile options including V-Log, HLG, and Cinelike, giving videographers meaningful grading latitude. In-body 5-axis image stabilization is complemented by digital IS for additional steadiness.

The camera is housed in a magnesium alloy body with weather sealing, weighing 1021g with dimensions of 148.9 x 110.0 x 96.7mm. Monitoring options include a 3.2-inch, 2.1M-dot LCD and a high-resolution 5.76M-dot electronic viewfinder running at 120fps. Storage options cover both SDXC and CFexpress Type B cards, and connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Full HDMI, USB-C, and 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks.

Battery life is rated at 400 shots per charge using the DMW-BLJ31.
