Panasonic Lumix DC-S1R Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only) - US Version w/ Seller Warranty

Introducing PANASONIC’s LUMIX S Series Panasonic unveils the Lumix S series, its first full-frame mirrorless camera line. Combining durability with uncompromising quality, the Lumix S1 utilizes a 24.2MP full-frame MOS sensor, while the S1R uses a new 47.3-megapixel MOS sensor, allowing for a maximum ISO sensitivity of 51,200 and 25,600, respectively. The Lumix S series features an updated Venus engine for 9 fps burst shooting or 6 fps continuous focus shooting, as well as DFD technology for autofocus speeds of approximately 0.08 seconds. Both the S1 and S1R can shoot in HLG Photo Mode, the new High Resolution Mode which captures eight images in quick succession before stitching the results into a single image, and 6K photo mode. Both utilize an L-Mount system, making them compatible with various Sigma and Leica lenses, and with the new Panasonic lenses, namely the70-200mm f/4 LUMIX S Pro O.I.S. L-Mount Len, the 24-105mm f/4 LUMIX S O.I.S. L-Mount Lens, & 50mm f/1.4 LUMIX S PRO L-Mount Lens. The body is made up of a fully die-cast Magnesium alloy frame ergonomically designed to be dust and splash-resistant for outdoor photography. The new line of mirrorless cameras from Panasonic opens up new horizons for amateurs and professional photographers alike. ALC: Meet the Panasonic Lumix S1 & S1R Full-Frame Mirrorless Cameras

The wait is over: Panasonic has officially launched the Lumix S1 and Lumix S1R full-frame mirrorless cameras, along with three new L-mount lenses. With uncompromising quality and powerful sensors, the cameras are capable of 4K video recording, have precise auto focus, and are compatible with Panasonic, Leica, and Sigma lenses thanks to the L-mount.

READ MOREThe Panasonic LUMIX S1R Digital Single Lens Mirrorless (DSLM) camera incorporates a 47.3 megapixel high resolution 35mm full-frame MOS sensor. The LUMIX S1R utilizes the new L-Mount standard, which boasts a well-balanced, large inner diameter and compact dimensions for a flange focus to realize optimum size and performance as a digital mirrorless camera system.

The LUMIX S1R yields unprecedented image quality with high resolution, rich gradation and superior color reproduction. A high-speed, high-precision AF system based on advanced control technology over the lens, the sensor, and the new Venus Engine enable the user to capture the precise moment in the finest detail. The LUMIX S1R also boasts industry-leading video recording performance (4K 60p/50p), intuitive control, a rugged design for heavy field use, durability, and expandability. The LUMIX S1R is splash resistant* and dust resistant but also operates down to -10 degrees Centigrade. The mirrorless cameras shutter unit is also durable for approximately 400,000 cycles. Camera performance, lightweight construction, and Dust/Splash/Freeze-Resistant Design are some of the features youll enjoy while shooting with the Panasonic LUMIX S Series Digital Mirrorless Cameras.

S1R FULL FRAME SENSOR

The LUMIX S1R incorporates a new 47.3-megapixel MOS sensor without LPF (Low Pass Filter) to realize high resolution and descriptive performance. This sensor adopts an aspherical lens for the on-chip micro lenses to enhance light condensation. Together with the optimum design to concentrate more incoming light onto the photodiode, it achieves both high resolution and highly efficient light condensation performance. (S/N ratio and maximum ISO 25600). An AR coating applied on the sensor minimizes ghosts and flaring even in backlighting.

DFD FOCUSING TECHNOLOGY

Panasonics advanced Contrast AF system with DFD technology has evolved through the development of numerous mirrorless cameras to make the AF system within the LUMIX S Series of cameras nearly flawless. It achieves a fast level of focusing speed and also a tracking performance that is made possible by the adoption of Advanced AI Technology that accurately recognizes moving target subjects.

S1R HIGH RES MODE

Taking full advantage of its high-resolution sensor, the LUMIX S1R provides a High-Resolution mode that faithfully reproduces precise details to be saved as beautiful, highly realistic JPEG/RAW still images. Eight consecutive images are automatically shot while shifting the sensor using the Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) mechanism and synthesized into a 187-megapixel equivalent (16,736 x 11,168-pixel) image via the new Venus Engine, which boasts high-speed signal processing. This mode is suitable for taking natural landscapes or fine arts with delicate details. This magnificently high-resolution photo is ideal for landscape photography of stationary subjects using a tripod. However, it can also be used in situations where moving subjects are included in the scene, by switching the sub mode.

SHUTTER MECHANISIM

The high-precision shutter unit offers the highest shutter speed at a maximum 1/8000 second to capture spur-of-the-moment, fast moving subjects and to use a high-speed lens with a fully open aperture even outdoors for impressive defocusing. The external flash can be synchronized to a shutter speed of a maximum 1/320 second

DFD FOCUSING TECHNOLOGY

Panasonic has achieved a high-speed AF with its advanced control technology over the 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.*1 The LUMIX S1R also boasts high speed burst shooting at 9 fps (AFS) or 6 fps (AFC). With its high subject tracking performance, the LUMIX S1R never loses the target subject. As a camera that excels in low-light shooting, the LUMIX S1R boasts -6EV*2 luminance detection performance with Low Light AF thanks to the higher sensitivity and optimized tuning of the sensor.

FACE / EYE DETECTION TECHNOLOGY

The face/eye detection technology makes it possible to capture people in crisp focus, the Eye AF even detects the pupil of the eye and precisely focuses on it for impressive portrait shooting. The LUMIX S1R also incorporates Advanced AI Technology that detects specific subjects - humans and fast-moving animals and birds. The camera keeps tracking these subjects even when they turn their back to the camera.

6K PHOTO MODE

For more continuous burst shooting, 6K PHOTO* makes it possible to capture unmissable moments at 30 fps by extracting the frame with the best timing out of a 6K burst file (in 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio) to save as an approximate 18-megapixel equivalent high-resolution photo. The 4K PHOTO enables 60-fps high-speed captures in approximate 8-megapixel equivalent resolution. In 6K PHOTO /4K PHOTO, three exclusive modes can be chosen from depending on the situation; 6K Burst/4K Burst, 6K Burst (Start/Stop)/4K Burst (Start/Stop) and 6K Pre-burst/4K Pre-burst. Users can choose the most suitable burst shooting mode in addition to the regular consecutive shooting mode in full resolution depen
