Video Assist update Lumix S1Rii?

PostTue Jun 24, 2025 7:37 pm

Hi,

Today the Panasonic Lumix S1RII got the long awaited firmware update unlocking external RAW recording.
However, it seems that the Video Assist 12G did get the update enabling the S1II and S1IIe to record BRAW, but the S1RII this cannot.

Will there eventually be an update to the Video Assist enabling BRAW recording from the Lumix S1RII to the Video Assist 12G?
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265K 3900

Can someone from Blackmagic Design give some clarity on this? Or am I asking in the wrong place?

Hi,
This is also a very important feature for me, it seems a bit awkward that the flagship LUMIX camera is behind the releases of the S1II - I might even return the S1RII if this is not a future update... Thanks!
