Venus Engine Beauty

The CMOS sensor and the Venus Engine reproduce extraordinary color detail and natural texture expression. Multipixel Luminance Generation and Intelligent Detail Processing render intense brightness and contrast. The Three-Dimensional Color Control zings with rich colors from dark to bright shades, and high-precision Multi Process NR makes your images pop even at high sensitivity settings.

5-axis Dual I.S. 2

Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) in the camera and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lens,* the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 compensates for blurring even powerfully, allowing the use of a 7-stop slower shutter speed. ** The astonishing power of the 5-axis Body I.S. with 5.5-stop compensation power*** corrects shake for all lenses, even those not equipped with O.I.S.
* 5-axis Dual I.S.2 can be used with the lens S-R24105, S-E70200, S-R70200 and S-R70300 as of February 18th, 2021. ** Based on the CIPA standard (Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=200mm when S-E70200 is used). *** Based on the CIPA standard (Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=50mm when S-X50 is used).

4K 60p/50p Smooth Video

In combination, Panasonic’s 4K technology, CMOS sensor, and Venus Engine deliver spectacular 4K 60p/50p video in a full-frame format.* The outstanding heat dissipation allows offer both 4K 30p/25p/24p and FHD recording with no time limit.**
* Maximum recording time of 29 minutes 59 seconds in 4K 60p/50p. ** Excludes high-speed video recording. When the ambient temperature is high or continuous recording is performed, the camera may stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.

Advanced Recognition Technology

Super-fast sensor-lens communication of 480 fps and Panasonic’s DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology help make high-speed, high-precision autofocus of approximately 0.08 seconds a reality.* Advanced AI technology can recognize not only the human body but such animals as canidae, felidae, and birds, while the high-performance tracking system helps keep the subject in focus at all times. In addition, the low-light autofocus performs at an impressive -6EV.**
* 11EV, at wide-end with S-R24105 (CIPA) in LVF120 fps setting. ** At ISO100, F1.4, AFS. 100% contrast target.

5,760k-dot Real View Finder

Boasting the world’s highest resolution of 5,760k dots, the Real View Finder is the largest in its class.* Outstanding clarity make it feel as though you’re looking at the subject with your own eye and help you concentrate while shooting.
* Among full-frame digital single-lens mirrorless cameras as of February 1, 2019.

Tough Body for a Wide Range of Weather Conditions

The magnesium alloy full die-cast frame is highly durable, while sealing helps protect every seam, dial, and button. The camera as a whole is dust- and splash-resistant* and designed for use at temperatures as low as -10 °C.
* Dust- and splash-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
