It offers extensive recording modes and cinematic image quality to meet the high demands of today’s creators. With superior functionality that slots effortlessly into the professional workflow, the S1H is also designed for active filming in the field when attached to a gimbal or drone.

Powerful Sensor and Processor

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.

Special Features

What makes the LUMIX S1H a special camera is an unlimited recording time in all recording modes thanks to unique heat dispersion technologies. HDR (High Dynamic Range) in HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording and output through HDMI. 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 (LUT Viewer).

L-Mount Lens System

The LUMIX S1H 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.

It combines cinema industry performance, refined by Panasonic, with the high mobility and functionality of LUMIX mirrorless cameras.

1.8-inch High-Resolution Status LCD

The newly developed high-resolution 1.8-inch status LCD presents optimal information for still photography or videography. Time code and audio information can be customized with switchable black or white backgrounds.

5.76M-dot Resolution Real Viewfinder

The large Real View Finder boasts outstanding resolution of 5.76 million dots. The responsive OLED display offers an extremely low 0.005-second minimum lag time and an ultra-high 120 fps refresh rate.

5-Axis Dual I.S. 2 Image Stabilizer

With the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 (Image Stabilizer), intelligent compensation provides an equivalent to 6.5-stop exposure compensation producing sharp photos at slower shutter speeds. This feature is available in both photo and 4K video capture.

Built Tough for Rugged Conditions

The durable magnesium alloy die-cast frame is sealed to help protect every seam, dial, and button. The camera is dust and splash-resistant and designed for use in temperatures as low as 10-degree-C. Dust and splash resistant performance does not guarantee that damage will not occur if the camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.

Night Mode

When shooting dark scenes like starry skies, this mode suppresses the stimulation of eyes that have become accustomed to the dark. The LVF and rear monitor can be set separately.

Live View Boost

The display is brightened by lowering the frame rate and increasing the gain. This lets you shoot while framing, even in extremely dark situations.
