The Panasonic Lumix S1 IIE Camera with S 24-60mm f/2.8 Lens Kit is a comprehensive stills-first hybrid kit for content creators who want a high-performance full-frame system. As a follow-up to the original S1, the S1 IIE body includes several useful upgrades, which includes a new subject recognition AF mode for urban subjects such as BMX, skateboarding and parkour.

The upgraded camera joins the Lumix camera range as a good option for creators who need access to professional tools and workflows, without the need for the ultra high-speed frame rates, which the S1 II delivers.

The included S 24-60mm f/2.8 lens also newly developed by Panasonic is a compact and versatile zoom, which features a fast constant aperture and close minimum focusing for general, close-up and environmental subjects. It complements the camera’s hybrid capability with a lightweight design, easy handling, and sharp results across the frame.

Panasonic has added several other features including direct-to-SSD backup to the new camera body, updated CFexpress Type B, plus SD UHS-II memory card support, and you can harness real-time LUTs for streamlined post production and colour-accurate workflows. Advanced monitoring has been added for accurate filmmaking, with features like waveforms, vector-scopes and false colour, along with a high resolution  OLED viewfinder and a new more versatile vari-angle LCD touchscreen.

This kit offers a fantastic combination of versatility, image quality, and weather sealed Lumix reliability, which is ideal for solo filmmakers, events photographers and hybrid creators who need a well-rounded camera and lens kit for full-frame content.

Panasonic Lumix S1 IIE Camera with S 24-60mm f/2.8 Lens Kit in More Detail

Panasonic Lumix S 24-60mm f/2.8 Zoom Lens

The Panasonic Lumix S 24-60mm f/2.8 is Panasonic’s latest compact standard zoom lens which provides a versatile range from wide to short telephoto, as well as a constant f/2.8 aperture. It features a high-quality optical design with 14 elements in 12 groups, including aspherical, UED and ED lenses for sharp results with minimal aberration.

Close focusing is from just 0.19m at the wide end and 0.33m at the long end, which enables strong subject separation, while being supported by a high 0.30x maximum magnification. The lens is made to be as lightweight as possible at just 544g, the it balances well with the S1 II body whether capturing stills or video.

Full-Frame 24.2MP CMOS Sensor

The Lumix S1 IIE features a 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, which offers the perfect resolution for hybrid stills and video creators, without pushing data and power demands to extremes. This proven sensor design produces clean results with high colour accuracy and 14 stops of dynamic range.

ISO performance is strong across a native range of ISO 100-51200, delivering low noise, clean results in various lighting conditions. For hybrid users, this provides a good balance between image detail, noise and file sizes.

The sensor offers a 779-point Phase Detection AF system / Contrast AF system (315-area), which also features Panasonic’s DFD technology. Automatic Detection can be turned ON to switch between Human / Animal / Car / Motorcycle/Bike / Train / Airplane, with low light performance down to EV -6.

96MP High Resolution mode and burst speeds

The camera features a 96MP High Resolution mode, which captures multiple exposures and merges them to create a high-resolution image. This is particularly effective for static subjects or when using a tripod, and allows for enhanced detail and colour accuracy when more resolution and accuracy are vital.

Pre-burst mode is also available, which begins capturing data even before the shutter is fully pressed. This allows you to capture defining moments, which might otherwise have been missed. 

The camera can burst in mechanical shutter mode to 10fps (AFC), or up to 30fps in electronic shutter mode (AFS/AFC/MF), catering to everyday subjects and some action requirements. The buffer will record more than 200 images when shooting with both RAW+JPEG, or more than 160 images with RAW+HEIF.

Advanced Video Recording Options

Panasonic has included 6K 30p Open Gate video recording using the full sensor width, with numerous additional video format options including 4K 60p 10-bit, ProRes 422 HQ internal, and RAW output over HDMI to compatible Atomos or Blackmagic devices.

Full-frame Open Gate is ideal for vertical, widescreen or multiple aspect ratios, reducing the need to reshoot for different platforms and saving a ton of time during post matching colour and style. With high-quality internal recording, professional format support and in-camera monitoring tools like waveform, false colour and vectorscope, the S1 IIE delivers a reliable toolkit for solo creators and production teams. Recording with Open Gate is particularly useful for projects that are pushed to multiple platforms, such as YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok and where you need cinematic widescreen for example.

ARRI Log C3 Gamma Support

ARRI Log C3 (via DMW-SFU3A software key) brings cinematic colour control directly to the S1 IIE, enabling easier integration with ARRI ALEXA and AMIRA, as well as Lumix own MFT cameras like the GH7 and GH6. With Panasonic’s V-Log, the option of ARRI Log C3 gives users more flexibility when it comes to matching colour across multi-cam environments.

Refined Autofocus with Urban Sports AF Mode

The camera’s phase detection AF system benefits from enhanced algorithms and a dedicated Urban Sports AF mode. This makes the S1 IIE more responsive to unpredictable movement which is commonly found in city sports, and especially useful for run-and-gun shooting, dance, performance or urban action footage.

Subjects which are recognised and tracked include:

• Street dance
• Freestyle football
• Skateboarding
• BMX
• Parkour

PDAF combines with DFD and contrast detection for fast, accurate focusing, even when subjects briefly exit the frame or are obscured by objects.

Dual Media Slots and SSD Backup

The inclusion of CFexpress (Type B) and SD UHS-II card slots improves speed for hybrid creators. Panasonic’s direct-to-SSD backup function is also supported, which allows for quick on-location file transfers without the need for a laptop, which is ideal for documentary and event content where redundancy could be critical.

REAL TIME LUTs and Monitoring Tools

Support for .vlt and .cube LUTs allows in-camera preview of custom colour profiles. This lets users shoot with a final colour grade previewed, which in turn streamlines the editing process. Advanced monitoring tools such as anamorphic de-squeeze, frame markers, vectorscope, false colour and more further cement the S1 IIE as a very capable production-ready camera for solo creators and small teams.

5-Axis Image Stabilisation and Robust Build Quality

Panasonic’s 5-axis IBIS system provides a very proficient 8.0 stops maximum compensation (CIPA), with Dual I.S. 2 available when paired with compatible L-Mount lenses. The body also features a rugged, weather-sealed magnesium alloy chassis, ensuring that the S1 IIE is ideally equipped for handheld shooting in all but the most challenging environments.

The body is compatible with the optional Lumix DMW-BG2 Battery Grip, which extends shooting times and adds comfort in vertical orientation.

High-res Viewfinder and Touch Screen

A high-resolution 5.76M-dot OLED EVF offers a bright, detailed view with up to 120fps refresh rates, which is complemented by a 1.84M-dot tilt and vari-angle LCD, which provides accurate framing and playback. Touchscreen support and responsive menus help with usability in the field and upgrades the previous generation camera’s screen which did not offer vari-angle adjustment.

Connectivity and Power

The S1 IIE features diverse connectivity for hybrid creators, which includes USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, full-size HDMI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, XLR support (via accessory), and live streaming over Wi-Fi or tethered USB.

The camera is powered by Panasonic’s familiar DMW-BLK22 battery and users will find useful tools including a dedicated S&Q switch, dial lock,. front REC button and more.
