Next-level autofocus with advanced AI recognition technology
Equipped with Phase Hybrid AF system that delivers high speed, precision, and tracking performance, the LUMIX S1II takes autofocus to the next level. With advanced AI technology, it can accurately recognize and focus on eyes and faces, even in challenging conditions where faces are tilted or partially obscured. The system now includes the Urban Sports recognition, enabling the camera to maintain precise focus on your subject, even in dynamic performance scenes. Additionally, the Motorcycle mode has evolved into the Motorcycle/Bike recognition mode.

Every moment, captured with clarity — 24.1MP sensor
LUMIX’s unique colour science, based on its picture-making philosophy “Capturing It All,” works in harmony with a newly developed 24.1MP partially stacked CMOS sensor to capture fleeting moments in rich, expressive detail. REAL TIME LUT also let you explore your own creative style. HEIF recording is now available as an option, adding extra flexibility to your workflow. High Resolution mode also enables you to capture 96MP-equivalent images*, even when shooting handheld, for exceptional detail without sacrificing mobility.

Fastest in the LUMIX S Series*: AFC burst shooting at 70 fps**
With a newly developed partially stacked CMOS sensor that enables high-speed readout, the camera offers AFC burst shooting at approximately 10 fps using the mechanical shutter***. Switch to the electronic shutter’s SH Burst or SH Pre-Burst modes, and you can capture critical moments at up to 70 fps**, even during fast-moving scenes like sports, wildlife, or vehicles. The viewfinder and monitor stay blackout-free, allowing for confident framing with post view support.

A tilt and free-angle monitor designed for comfortable creative work
A tilt and free-angle rear monitor lets you compose shots on the optical axis. You can rotate the monitor while the cable is still plugged in, which also makes it extremely useful for video production. When shooting outdoors, the high-resolution OLED viewfinder with approximately 5,760k dots supports natural framing.
