Autofocus-Improvements for S-Series

S1, S1R and S1H will inherit the advanced autofocus technology and performance of the new LUMIX S5. The AF-upgrade includes improved detection technologies for humans and motion.

The camera keeps tracking the person even if he/she moves quickly, turns his/her head/back to the camera, tilts his/her head or moves far away from the camera. Additionally, improvements to the DFD technology have enhanced the continuous autofocus (AFC), which enables users to keep tracking small or fast-moving subjects.
