Panasonic has released firmware updates on a sweeping range of LUMIX digital mirrorless cameras and lenses to improve functionality, user experience, and features.
As one of the most notable updates in recent times, cameras include the full-frame LUMIX S5 Mark II, S5 Mark II X, S1, S1R, and micro four-thirds GH7 and G9 Mark II.
The Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm f/4, S 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S., S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S., and S PRO 70-200mm f/4 O.I.S. lenses are among the LUMIX S lenses receiving firmware updates.
Panasonic LUMIX S Firmware Updates
The full-frame LUMIX S camera firmware versions are as follows:
- LUMIX S5 Mark II – Version 3.2
- LUMIX S5 Mark II X – Version 2.2
The firmware updates to the S5 Mark II and S5 Mark II X improve the functionality of the Lumix Lab app to optimize remote shooting and shutter control, direct image transfer, and (in the case of the LUMIX S5 II X) enable live wireless streaming.
Other notable improvements include tweaks to the phase-detection autofocus and subject-detection systems, which now include airplanes, trains, cars, and motorcycles.
The LUMIX S5 full-frame cameras have also been updated to include new, customizable frame line marker display options.
The firmware update also delivers a new Hybrid Zoom and Crop Zoom feature to further assist with open-gate recording. These features allow for higher magnification without the need to swap out lenses.
- LUMIX S1 – Version 2.4
- LUMIX S1R – Version 2.1
The LUMIX S1 and S1R updates are minor and offer improved stability – bug fixes.

- LUMIX GH7 – Version 1.3
- LUMIX G9 Mark II – Version 2.3
