Panasonic has announced a fresh round of firmware updates for its latest Lumix full-frame bodies, alongside a new version of the Lumix Flow smartphone app. Rolling out from November 26, the updates aim to refine both shooting performance and mobile workflows, bringing a mix of stability tweaks, new recording options, and UI improvements driven directly by user feedback.
The Lumix S1RII receives Firmware Ver. 1.3, while the S1II and S1IIE both move to Ver. 1.2. All three cameras benefit from an upgraded thermal control algorithm designed to deliver longer, more reliable recording times in challenging environments. Panasonic has also added a lower-speed SH burst mode (including pre-burst), new AF frame display options for eye and subject detection, and improved tracking stability.
