Product details

The S1H is the world's first full-frame camera that enables video recording in 6K/24p, 5.9K/30p (16:9), or 10-bit 60p 4K/C4K. The newly developed 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor with a low-pass filter utilizes Dual Native ISO technology with two base sensitivities for minimal noise even at high sensitivities. The dynamic range exceeds 14 EV stops, matching the level of cinema cameras. Its V-Log/V-Gamut is compatible with the popular VariCam look of Panasonic's VariCam cinema cameras. Thanks to Panasonic's heat dissipation and an integrated fan, the S1H offers unlimited recording time in all shooting modes, surpassing other cameras. Additionally, HDR, 4:2:2 10-bit, and an anamorphic mode are available. The dual stabilizer compensates for shutter speeds of up to 6.5 stops longer. The tiltable touchscreen monitor, the 5.8 MP OLED viewfinder, and the large shoulder display ensure intuitive operation. The freely tiltable touchscreen monitor, the real-time viewfinder, and the large-format shoulder display on the camera feature high resolution and excellent visibility. The weather-resistant and robust housing design of the S1H guarantees the necessary professional reliability.

Echte Schwergewichte hat Panasonic mit seinem S1-Trio auf den Markt gebracht, sowohl physisch als auch leistungsmäßig. Während die S1 R mit hoher Auflösung und hervorragender Bildqualität aufwartet, ist die S1 H besonders für Filmende eine ausgezeichnete Wahl. Das Grundmodell S1 stellt einen preiswerteren Kompromiss dar...

Die Lumix S1H ist eine herausragende Foto Video Hybridkamera. Wer keine Highend-Ansprüche an das Video hat, ist aber mit der S1 besser beraten, die detailreichere Fotos liefert, allerdings mit höherem Moire-Risiko. Dank der XQD- und CFexpress Speicherkarten-Unterstützung kann sie außerdem längere Bildserien schießen...
