Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization

Helping to achieve the utmost sharpness when photographing handheld. Dual I.S. 2 combines the S1's 5.5 stop-rated 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization technology with lens-based 2-axis image stabilization to compensate for a broader range of movement types to render sharper. clearer imagery. Dual I.S. 2 requires the use of compatible Lumix lenses featuring O.I.S. This stabilization system is able to compensate for approximately 6 stops of camera shake.

DFD Autofocus System

For accelerated autofocus performance. the DFD (Depth-From-Defocus) technology quickly calculates the distance to subjects and adjusts the focusing position in as little as 0.08 seconds. with sensor and lens communication occurring at rates up to 480 fps. This contrast-detection type focus method benefits both still and video recording modes. as well as subject tracking applications. using Advanced AI Technology. where subject type. color. size. and motion vectors are used to intelligently lock-onto the moving subjects and ensure precise focus. When working with portrait subjects. face/eye detection capabilities make it easier to photograph people and prioritize focusing as specifically as on a subject's pupil. The focusing sensitivity and speed can be adjusted to further improve performance with certain subjects. It also features 225 AF areas. which provide excellent control over where the camera will focus. Additionally. supporting working in low-light conditions. a Low Light AF feature enables accurate AF performance down to -6 EV.

Benefitting manual focus operation. focus peaking is available that highlights bright edges of contrast with a colored outline for quickly recognizing your focus point. as well as Touch MF Assist for touch-to-focus operation. Other AF features include an AF Point Scope setting that temporarily magnifies the subject by 3x to 10x for confirmation of the focus position and a custom selectable AF zone for Multi AF / Custom Multi AF.

6K and 4K PHOTO

Utilizing the S1's video recording capabilities. a trio of still shooting modes are available for recording continuous 3:2 or 4:3 8MP stills at a 60 or 30 fps shooting rate or 18MP stills at a 30 fps shooting rate:

• Burst: This mode will allow you to continuously record. making it ideal for instances where you need a fast frame rate in order to capture the best moment.
• Pre-Burst: This mode is ideal for times when you're unsure of the critical moment to press the shutter button and will record images one second prior to and one second after pressing the shutter button in order to give you 60 frames to choose from.
• Burst (S/S): This mode most closely follows the video recording process. and allows you to playback your video. pause at the chosen moment. and use the shutter button to mark a chosen frame from the video and save it as a single 8 or 18MP frame.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

Bluetooth Low Energy (4.2) provides constant connection between your smartphone or table and the camera with minimal power consumption. For more robust wireless activities. IEEE 802.11ac and b/g/n support is also available for faster transmission and more fluid remote control and monitoring.

Complementing the camera's wireless connectivity. Lumix Sync is an iOS and Android app designed to pair with the camera for smartphone or tablet-based remote shooting control and wireless image transferring.

The below lens is included when selecting the bundled kit:

Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S. Lens

Included with the camera body. the Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S. is a wide-angle to short-telephoto zoom featuring a constant f/4 maximum aperture. Its optical design includes a series of low dispersion and aspherical elements. which control a variety of aberrations. color fringing. and distortion in order to realize a high degree of sharpness. clarity. and color accuracy. Balancing its optical performance. this zoom is also unique due to is 1:2 maximum magnification ratio and 11.8 minimum focusing distance to suit working with close-up subjects. Additionally. an Optical Image Stabilizer. which supports the camera's Dual I.S. 2. helps to control the effects of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. and the lens sports a weather-sealed design for use in harsh conditions.

Other Camera Features

• By using sensor-shift stabilization technology. the S1 features a High Resolution mode to capture and compile eight separate exposure to create a single 96MP raw or JPEG file. Suitable for static subjects and when working on a tripod. this mode creates a more highly detailed and color accurate image than a single shot alone can produce and produces an image with a 12000 x 8000-pixel resolution.
• HLG Photo mode offers increased dynamic range for improved retail in shadow and highlight regions of the image. When working in HLG Photo mode. images can be saved as an HSP file in either 4K or full resolution. in addition to JPEG and raw formats. for vivid playback on 4K televisions.
• In addition to conventional 3:2. 4:3. 1:1. and 16:9 ratios. photos can also be recorded in 65:24 and 2:1 panoramic formats.
• I.S. Status Scope helps to recognize the type of camera shake being caused by displaying an arrow in the viewfinder or on the rear LCD.
• Flicker Decrease automatically detects the frequency/flicker of artificial lighting and activates the shutter at peak brightness moments to render exposures with consistent exposure and color.
• Helping to contain bright highlights. Highlight Weighted Metering mode prioritizes highlight values when making an exposure metering in order to prevent scenes from blowing out.
• Offering more versatility than standard Auto White Balance (AWB). an AWBw setting will retain a reddish warm tint while AWBc offers a cooler. bluish tint.
• Lumix Tether enables wired. tethered shooting capabilities via USB connection between the camera and a computer. Aside from offering a larger live view preview. this application also permits remotely triggering the shutter. use of 6K and 4K Photo modes. and video recording start/stop.
