Panasonic Lumix S1 IIE system camera

The Panasonic Lumix S1 IIE system camera offers cutting-edge photography and video capabilities for a wider range of users. Based on a 24.2 MP full-size BSI CMOS sensor and Panasonic's latest processor, the camera retains advanced features such as 6K video recording, 96 MP high-resolution hand-held stills and step-by-step hybrid focusing with AI detection. Designed as a professional entry into the Lumix S series, the S1 IIE is aimed at photographers and filmmakers who need speed, precision and flexibility without the price or weight of a high-end flagship model. From individual creators to studio professionals and emerging hybrid professionals, the S1 IIE offers cutting-edge performance in an accessible package.

Reliable performance for photography and video creation

The 24.2 MP full-size BSI CMOS sensor and semi-stacked design enable fast, detailed image capture with low scrolling delay and improved low-light responsiveness. This sensor architecture enables smoother readout for fast burst shooting and video while maintaining excellent dynamic range for still images. Panasonic's L2 engine supports advanced features such as Dynamic Range Enhancement, allowing for better preservation of highlights and shadows in both still images and video. You can shoot high-resolution images at up to 96 MP resolution without a tripod, using handheld High Resolution mode, while HEIF 10-bit image capture offers more flexible file formats and smaller file sizes-ideal for modern digital workflows.

• 6MP handheld High Resolution mode
• HEIF 10-bit image recording
• L.Monochrome D, L.ClassicNeo and other film-style profiles
• Dual ISO for optimal low-light performance
• Colour science designed for true-to-life shades and even skin tone reproduction

6K video and versatile format options

The S1 IIE is a strong performer for hybrid photographers thanks to its internal 10-bit video recording and supershot quality in a variety of formats. It supports 6K open-gate video at 30p with full sensor coverage-perfect for anamorphic use or post-production re-framing-and also handles 5.1K 60p and Cinema 4K 120p, offering cinematic flexibility and slow-motion capability. REAL TIME LUT enables creative colour layouts to be applied in-camera, while Frame.io Camera to Cloud integration supports seamless collaboration with editors, clients and post-production teams. Direct recording to USB-C SSDs provides a convenient workflow for creating long-form content without swapping cards.

• 6K (3:2) Open port 30p for full sensor capture
• 5.1K (4:3) 60p for immersive high-resolution content
• C4K/4K 120p for slow motion and action videos
• 4K superimposition of the full sensor width with improved sharpness
• V-Log/V-Gamut 13 stops per dynamic range
• Real Time LUTs for adjusting roasted or previewed colours
• Frame.io C2C support and SSD storage via USB-C

Staggered hybrid focus with intelligent target detection

The LUMIX S1 IIE features Panasonic's latest step-by-step hybrid focusing engine, enhanced with AI-based target detection for improved tracking and accuracy. 779 focus points and fast real-time detection allow easy lock on people, eyes, faces, animals and vehicles-even when the subject is moving or partially occluded. The system operates reliably under a variety of lighting conditions and supports linear and non-linear manual focus modes for fine-tuning. For sports and action photography, the camera's uninterrupted continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second in SH mode ensures fast sequences are recorded clearly and without interruption.

• 779-point staggered hybrid focus for fast, accurate focusing
• Intelligent target recognition for people, eyes, animals, vehicles
• Accurate in low light and high contrast
• Up to 30 frames per second uninterrupted continuous shooting (SH)
• Adjustable MF tyre behaviour (linear/non-linear)
