The LUMIX S1II is designed for professional photographers and filmmakers, offering LUMIX Color Science, a wide dynamic range, and high-speed performance that allows content creators to capture photos and videos efficiently and accurately as they envision. The newly developed 24.1 MP full-frame CMOS image sensor, powered by a next-generation Venus Engine, enables faster readout speeds as well as high frame rate recording in 4K120p and 5.1K60p. With the Dynamic Range Boost mode, it achieves up to 15 stops in V-Log at frame rates below 30p. Photography features include up to 70 fps high-speed burst shooting (with a pre-burst function of up to 1.5 seconds) for capturing fleeting moments. The LUMIX S1II also enhances the workflow for diverse content production. The highly regarded Open Gate function now supports formats beyond 6K30p, enabling 5.1K60p and expanding creative possibilities.
