The Panasonic Lumix S1R II is the new flagship model for Panasonic’s Lumix S series of full-frame mirrorless cameras, replacing the original, 2019-released S1R. This camera features a new full-frame 44.3MP CMOS sensor and can record 8K video at up to 30fps, not to mention 4K video at 120fps - a significant video resolution and frame rate improvement over its predecessor. In addition to the conventional MOV compressed footage, the S1RII also lets you capture various resolutions in either ProRes 422 or ProRes RAW formats, both of which can either be recorded to the camera's internal CFExpress type B card or to an external SSD.

Got this to record memories of my kids for when they are older to watch! Camera is super easy to use! Love that its great overall quality! However, when I tried to open its 4K footage in Premiere Pro, it got stuttered. I guess it's because my Mac is not fast enough. Is there a workaround to go through this?
