Customer Reviews
The Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H is clearly distinguished by its impressive video capabilities but also features notable flexibility to suit multimedia applications along with an especially durable design. Using nearly the full sensor, 3:2-format 6K24p video recording is supported, along with 16:9 5.9K30p and both DCI and UHD 4K60p settings with internal 4:2:2 10-bit sampling. Additionally, V-Log has been pre-installed, and a Hybrid Log-Gamma is also available for achieving greater detail when recording, and to benefit color grading during post-production. Also benefitting stills, as well as video, is a 225-area Depth from Defocus (DFD) contrast-detection autofocus system that achieves quick and precise focusing and subject tracking. The magnesium alloy body is weather-sealed to permit working in harsh conditions and has a 1.8″ top status LCD for reviewing shooting settings on the fly. The sensor and processor incorporate Multi pixel Luminance Generation and Intelligent Detail Processing technologies, which help to produce high resolution and definition by suppressing color moiré, and Color Control further enhances color reproduction, especially in the highlights and shadows. Optimizing your recording for post-production color adjustment, the S1H features a pair of gamma settings suited to capturing a wide dynamic range. Variable Frame Rate (VFR) adjustments can be used to produce slow and quick motion effects from 30x to -7.5x. High Frame Rate (HFR) shooting, in 4:2:0 10-bit, is also supported, with audio recording and autofocus, which enables shooting Full HD video at 180p and DCI/UHD 4K at 59.94p. Used in conjunction with other members of the L-Mount Alliance, the L lens mount is a versatile interface with a mount diameter of 51.6mm and a flange distance of 20mm for working with a broad range of optics.
