47.3MP Full-frame CMOS Sensor

A 47.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor gives the LUMIX S1R the industry’s highest level of resolution to pursue the ultimate power of expression. This sensor adopts an aspherical lens for an on-chip micro lens to enhance light condensation. Optimally designed to concentrate more incoming light onto the photodiode,it features both high resolution and highly efficient light condensation performance. In addition to the precise reproduction of details, this sensor achieves a high Signal to noise ratio. A massive amount of digital signals are processed by a new, high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine to render images with breathtaking description in both photo and video.

Highly Detailed Images

6-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. 2

The LUMIX S1R integrates the Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) with 5.5-stop compensation power. Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lenses, the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 compensates for larger movements that were conventionally uncontrollable. It is highly beneficial for telephoto shots and adverse situations, such as in low light or with one-handed shooting with a 6-stop slower shutter speed.

High Resolution Mode – 187MP S1R

High Resolution mode enables ultra-high precision photo shooting. Eight consecutive images are automatically shot while shifting the sensor using the Body I.S. mechanism and synthesized into a RAW image. This mode is ideal for taking natural landscapes or fine arts with delicate details. However, it can also be used in situations where moving subjects are included in the scene, by switching the sub mode.

HLG Photo Mode – New Style of Photo Expression

Panasonic's HLG Photo mode excels in the expression of lights, such as sparkling starlight or glaring sunlight. It provides a wider dynamic range to reproduce light and shadows with more natural contrast. The HLG Photos can be produced as HSP files with compressed high-brightness signals. Photographers can view those images on the latest Panasonic HLG-compliant 4KTV via HDMI cable connection or other HLG-compliant devices.

High-precision Shutter Unit

The new shutter unit offers a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 second to capture fast moving subjects and to use a high-speed lens with a fully open aperture even outdoors. The external flash can be synchronized with the industry’s fastest shutter speed of a maximum 1/320 second.

Instantaneous Shooting

High-speed, High-precision AF of Approximately 0.08 sec

Panasonic has achieved a high-speed AF with its advanced control technology over major devices – lens, sensor and imaging engine. The lens and sensor communicate at a maximum 480 fps. Combining the Contrast AF with DFD technology, the LUMIX S1R realizes an ultra high-speed, high-precision AF of approximately 0.08 sec.

Low Light AF in -6EV Condition

As a camera that excels in low-light shooting, the LUMIX S1R boasts -6EV luminance detection performance with Low Light AF thanks to the higher sensitivity and optimized tuning of the sensor.

Adoption of AI Technology

The LUMIX S1R also incorporates Advanced AI Technology that detects specific subjects – humans and fast-moving animals, including canidae, felidae and birds. The LUMIX S1R keeps tracking these subjects even when they turn their back to the camera.

Video Recording Performance

4K 60p/50p video recording is available in the LUMIX S1R.

High Speed Video

The High Speed Video lets you record slow motion video in 4K (max. 60 fps / 50fps) and FHD (max. 180 fps / 150fps).

Reliable Operation

The Largest-in-class Real View Finder

The largest-in-class Real View Finder boasts the world’s highest 5,760k-dot resolution. The 0.78x magnification ratio can be switched to 0.7x or 0.74x according to the shooting situation. Adoption of a high-speed, high-precision OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) for the LVF achieves smooth display at 60 fps / 120 fps (switchable) and high-speed response with minimum time lag of less than 0.005 sec as well as 10,000:1 high contrast for exceptional visibility.

Triaxial Tilt Rear Monitor and Status LCD

The 2,100K-dot high resolution monitor in 3:2 aspect ratio has adopted a triaxial tilt moving element to secure both durability and operational ease. It also has a touch control system. The LUMIX S1R includes a largest-in-class Status LCD on the top, allowing users to check the settings at a glance.

Double Memory Card Slot

The Double Memory Card slot is compatible with SD Memory Cards (UHS-II) and XQD Memory Cards for high-speed, high-capacity, continuous data recording. It will also be compatible with CFexpress in the near future.

Rugged Design

To be tough enough to withstand heavy field use, the main structure is composed of a magnesium alloy full die-cast front/rear frame. Robust construction and a sealing for every joint, dial, and button make the LUMIX S1R not only dust resistant and splash resistant but also operates down to -10 degrees Centigrade. The shutter unit is also durable for approximately 400,000 cycles.
