DESCRIPTION

Panasonic Lumix S1H is a new mirrorless camera equipped with a full-frame image sensor combining the professional level video quality and high mobility of the mirrorless camera. The Lumix S1H adopts the L-Mount system to provide users with a diverse range of products and opens up an almost limitless spectrum of new creative possibilities.

A newly developed 24.2-megapixel full-frame image sensor complies with the new Dual Native ISO. In combination with the optimum signal processing by Venus Engine, it achieves high sensitivity and minimum noise. The LUMIX S1H provides 14+ stops of dynamic range, which is as wide as those of cinema cameras, and V-Log / V-Gamut compatible with popular colorimetry called “VariCam Look.” What makes the LUMIX S1H a special camera is an unlimited recording time in all recording modes thanks to Panasonic’s unique heat dispersion technologies. HDR (High Dynamic Range) in HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output, and Anamorphic 4:3 modes are also available together with a variety of practical tools for film making, such as tally lights, a waveform monitor and a V-Log View Assist function.

The LUMIX S1H incorporates a Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) to effectively compensate for hand-shake movement. Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lenses, the Dual I.S. 2 compensates for virtually any type of blurring even more powerfully, allowing the use of a 6.5-stop*3 slower shutter speed. The new rear monitor, Real View Finder and Status LCD boast a large size, high resolution and high visibility. The rugged design provides professional photographers with high reliability.

The LUMIX S Series full-frame mirrorless camera system adopts the L-Mount system to provide users with a diverse and future-proof range of products. Currently more than 46 interchangeable lenses including 11 or more LUMIX S/S PRO lenses are available or will be available from Panasonic, Leica Camera and Sigma to choose from and a variety of mount adapters/converters further expand the opportunities to use even more lenses. The L-Mount thereby opens up an almost limitless spectrum of new creative possibilities.

Panasonic has long devoted itself to the development of professional cinema cameras to meet the industry’s needs of the times, which results in the trusted reputation it now enjoys. On the other hand, Panasonic developed the compact, lightweight, Digital Single Lens Mirrorless cameras for the first time in the world and has been improving them. Combining these innovative ideas and accumulated study, the LUMIX GH Series broke through the industry, with the concept that a digital still camera records video in unprecedentedly high quality for even film making. Further integrating the potential of the full-frame sensor, Panasonic is proud to introduce the LUMIX S1H as the ultimate digital mirrorless camera packing its best possible performance.

• High resolution up to 6K for multiple formats
• Rich gradation and a wide colour space virtually equal to those of cinema cameras
• High product reliability that allows unlimited video recording
