Camera Overview — Panasonic S1R II

The Panasonic LUMIX S1R is a high-resolution full-frame mirrorless camera built around a 47.3MP sensor and powered by Panasonic's Venus Engine image processor. Shooting at a maximum resolution of 8368x5584 pixels, it's clearly aimed at photographers who demand serious detail from their files. The camera supports an ISO range of 100 to 51200, giving it flexibility across a wide variety of lighting situations.

Burst shooting tops out at 9fps, and the autofocus system combines Hybrid Phase and Contrast detection with AI-based subject tracking, Eye Detection AF, and Face Detection AF across 493 focus points — a well-rounded AF package for both stills and moving subjects. On the video side, the S1R records 4K at up to 60fps with 10-bit color depth and supports V-Log and HLG color profiles, making it genuinely capable for professional video work. In-body 5-axis image stabilization is included.

The viewfinder is a high-resolution 5.76M-dot OLED panel running at 120Hz, while the 3.2-inch 2.1M-dot LCD handles rear monitoring duties. Storage options include both SDXC and CFexpress Type B cards. The magnesium alloy body is weather sealed and weighs 1020g, with connectivity covering Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Full-Size HDMI, USB-C, and both headphone and microphone 3.5mm jacks.

It uses the L-Mount lens system.
