LUMIX S Series lenses: A blend of superb image quality and exceptional mobility
LUMIX S Series lenses are designed to deliver uncompromising image quality and expressive performance, faithfully bringing creators' visions to life. The lineup consists of two series: S PRO lenses, which have met strict quality standards, and S lenses, which balance high image quality with enhanced mobility.
As of February 2025, the lineup features 18 lenses, with plans for further expansion. Additionally, the S series adopts the universal L-Mount system, ensuring seamless compatibility with a wide range of lenses from alliance partners.

LUMIX S PRO lens
To satisfy even the most expressive photographer, exceptionally strict standards were applied to produce the LUMIX S PRO lens from start to finish –planning, design, development and production. Absolutely no compromise was made to total excellence in rendering, bokeh, or depth. The resulting high performance and superb quality pass every stringent evaluation standard used in a LEICA lens.
LUMIX S lens
In addition to its high optical performance, this lens series is designed with a focus on mobility and usability. It delivers outstanding image quality, expanding the creative possibilities of the S Series mirrorless cameras.
Support for shooting in harsh field conditions
Dust/splash/freeze resistant design
Designed to support your passion for creativity even in challenging environments. The magnesium alloy frame, combined with sealing on all joints, dials, and buttons, ensures dust- and splash-resistance*. The terminal caps and contact covers are independently separated, allowing you to open only the necessary sections when connecting external devices. Additionally, the camera is designed to operate in temperatures as low as -10°C** and has been tested to function in high temperatures up to 40°C. Despite being equipped with a cooling fan, it still maintains a high level of robustness.
*When a Panasonic dust- and splash-resistant lens is attached.
**When a Panasonic lens that supports an operating temperature of up to -10°C is attached.
･Dust- and splash-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
･To ensure that the dust-, splash-, and freeze-resistant functions are sufficiently effective, attach a hot shoe cover to the camera. Also, make sure to close the door, terminal cap, and contact cover of the camera properly.
Approx. 400,000 shutter count
Enhanced shutter unit
By optimizing the shutter unit structure and incorporating a high-voltage-resistant, high-durability DC motor, this system achieves exceptional rigidity and precision, successfully passing a durability test of 400,000 shutter releases.* It also maintains stable and accurate performance during high speed burst shooting, meeting the demands of professional use even in the most rigorous conditions.
*Panasonic measurement standard.
Prevents dust from attaching to the sensor
Shutter closing function
The camera now allows you to select the shutter's behavior when powering off. By setting it to "Close," you can protect the sensor from dust, providing peace of mind even during frequent lens changes.
Can record according to your purpose
Dual card slots
Slot 1 supports CFexpress Type B cards, enabling smooth recording of high-speed burst still shooting as well as internal recording of high-bitrate videos exceeding 800Mbps and ProRes RAW HQ footage. Slot 2 is compatible with SD Memory Card. Additionally, the card door is equipped with a locking lever to prevent accidental opening during shooting, ensuring reliable performance in the field.
Ideal for recording and managing high bitrate videos
External SSD recording
Large video files can be recorded directly from the camera to an external SSD*. After recording, the external SSD can be connected to a computer via a USB cable, significantly improving workflow efficiency for backup and post-production tasks.
･Use an external SSD no more than 2 TB in size that is compatible with USB Type-C. We recommend using an external SSD whose operation has been confirmed by Panasonic. Note beforehand that this is not a guarantee of operation on all devices.
･Latest information on the external SSDs will be available at the following support site: https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/index.html
*Please use DC Coupler DMW-DCC18 (sold separately) or Battery Grip DMW-BG2 / Battery Pack DMW-BLK22 (sold separately) when using the following settings. For video and S&Q video when set as MOV/MP4 with exceeding a resolution of C4K; or ProRes video with frame rate of 31 fps or above and exceeding a resolution of C4K.
*When recording to an external SSD, you cannot record simultaneously to an SD Memory Card or CFexpress Type B cards. However, it is possible to record the main video to the SSD and the proxy video file to the SD Memory Card simultaneously.
Handy app for both everyday and work use
LUMIX Lab
The LUMIX Lab app allows easy transfer of your photos and videos to your smartphone. You can edit them as you like, for example by adjusting the colors or cropping them, and then upload them directly to social media, or deliver urgent work, all on the camera itself. You can also save color adjustment information as a LUT and transfer it to your camera for use when shooting photos and videos.
You can select Wi-Fi Frequency Bands 5GHz to enable high-speed transfer of the files.*
*Depending on the region, local regulations, etc. may prohibit you from using the 5GHz frequency band outdoors.

The Panasonic Group aims to achieve both a better life and a sustainable global environment, by creating impacts from actions that reduce our own CO₂ emissions, contribute to avoiding CO₂ emissions of society, and realize a circular economy.
Efforts to phase out plastics and switch to alternative packaging
We have reduced the number of packaging components by 70%, the use of plastic materials by 95%, and the use of paper and cardboard by 67% compared to the previous model. Additionally, the volume of individual packaging boxes has been reduced by 36% compared to the previous model. Furthermore, to reduce environmental impact, we have incorporated pulp-molded materials and excluded generic accessories such as USB cable and AC adaptor from the packaging. Recycled materials are also used in the camera body.
