Panasonic Updates Lumix Lab and Firmware

NEWS: Panasonic announces a series of updates across the LUMIX ecosystem, including new features for the LUMIX Lab and LUMIX Flow apps, alongside firmware enhancements for selected LUMIX cameras and full-frame S Series lenses.

These updates will be available from 20th October 2025, and are designed to streamline workflows, improve customisation, and add new creative tools for users across both photo and video.

Panasonic Updates Lumix Lab and Firmware

LUMIX Lab App Version 2.0

LUMIX Lab receives a major update with Version 2.0, introducing a new feature called Magic LUT. This tool allows users to create custom looks from any image. Simply select a reference photo, and the app will match the colours, tones and mood, generating a LUT file you can apply to your own footage.

  • Magic LUT works with JPEG, HEIF and MP4 files, and supports images taken on other cameras and smartphones as well as LUMIX models.
  • LUTs can be fine-tuned before saving, and users can adjust the intensity in-camera for both preview and recording.

LUMIX Flow App Version 1.3

Version 1.3 expands LUMIX Flow app compatibility to include the S5II, S5IIX, and GH7, with several improvements for supported models:

  • Improved mirroring and the ability to connect up to four devices simultaneously
  • Vertical UI support for use with external monitors
  • Updated storyboard tools, including the option to add blank sub-shots
  • LUT view assist is now available in the app, mirroring the live LUT preview on compatible cameras
  • Support for multiple frame markers, matching the camera’s live view display
  • Enhanced AF frame overlays for subject recognition and automatic detection

  • Support for LUMIX Flow v1.3 or above

  • Bluetooth compatibility added for DJI RS 4 Pro, RS 4, and RS 4 Mini

GH7 (v1.5) and G9II (v2.5)
