Panasonic launches LUMIX S1II and S1IIE full-frame cameras in India with pro video and photo features

Panasonic India has added two new full-frame mirrorless cameras to its LUMIX S Series lineup, the LUMIX S1II and LUMIX S1IIE. Both models were announced globally in May and are now available in India.

LUMIX S1II: New Sensor and High-Speed Recording

The LUMIX S1II uses a 24.1MP full-frame partially stacked CMOS sensor with the Venus Engine processor. It can record in 4K at 120p, 5.8K at 60p, and 5.1K at 60p. The camera delivers up to 15 stops of dynamic range in V-Log at frame rates below 30p.

For still photography, it supports burst shooting at up to 70 frames per second in SH and SH PRE modes. In High-Speed Plus mode, it can shoot at 10 fps with a mechanical shutter. The Open Gate function now supports 5.1K at 60p for more flexibility.

LUMIX S1IIE: Cinemascope and Extended Dynamic Range

The LUMIX S1IIE is built on a 24.2MP sensor based on the one in the LUMIX S5II. It records 6K at 30p in a 3:2 Open Gate format and delivers more than 14 stops of dynamic range in V-Log. It also introduces a 2.4:1 Cinemascope format that records up to 60p with no crop. The camera shares the same ergonomic design and control layout as the S1II and S1RII.

Shared Features

Both cameras include Phase Hybrid autofocus with improved subject tracking. Face, eye, and body detection are built in, and a new Urban Sports mode improves tracking for fast movements such as skateboarding or breakdancing. In-body image stabilization provides up to 8 stops of correction and supports cropless video stabilization.

Recording options include internal Apple ProRes RAW HQ and Apple ProRes on CFexpress Type B cards. ARRI LogC3 support is available through a software upgrade. Both cameras feature a 5.76 million-dot electronic viewfinder, a 1.84 million-dot tilt and free-angle touchscreen, and dual card slots for SD and CFexpress Type B. They are rated for use at temperatures as low as -10°C.

Software support covers Capture One, Frame.io, LUMIX Lab, and LUMIX Flow. Upcoming updates will add HEIF image format, waveform monitor, vectorscope, and wireless mirroring.

The LUMIX S1II is priced at ₹3,29,990. The LUMIX S1IIE is priced at ₹2,69,990. Both models are available starting today through Panasonic-authorised dealers and the company’s direct sales channels.
