Description
As part of Panasonic’s entry into full-frame mirrorless, the Lumix DC-S1 is a well-rounded camera offering advanced feature-sets for both stills and video, along with a robust physical construction. Characterized by its full-frame 24.2MP MOS sensor, which is supported by an updated Venus Engine, the S1 offers impressive image quality along with a quick 9 fps shooting rate and expanded sensitivity range up to ISO 204800. In regard to video, the S1 can record UHD 4K30p with full-pixel readout, 4:2:2 10-bit color, and unlimited shooting times, as well as 4K60p for up to 29:59. HDR video recording is possible using the dedicated Hybrid Log Gamma mode, and a firmware update will be available to add 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording along with V-Log. Complementing both stills and video capabilities, the image sensor also utilizes an advanced DFD contrast-detection autofocus system for quick and precise focusing and subject tracking. Additionally, sensor-shift image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by 6.0 stops for sharper handheld shooting.
Beyond the imaging attributes, the S1 is also distinguished by its body design, which incorporates an impressively high resolution 5.76m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder along with a 3.2″ 2.1m-dot triaxial tilt touchscreen LCD. The magnesium-alloy body is weather-sealed to permit working in harsh conditions and has a top status LCD for reviewing shooting settings on the fly. CFexpress Type B/XQD and SD card slots offer flexible storage capabilities and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity afford remote camera control along with wireless image transferring to tablets and smartphones.
24.2MP Full-frame Sensor: Maximizing Sensitivity and Image Quality
Whether you’re shooting still photographs or video, the LUMIX S1 gives you breathtaking image quality with no compromises. By delivering sufficient light condensation per pixel, the 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor offers a wide dynamic range and sharp, natural expression even at high sensitivity settings.
Venus Engine Beauty
The CMOS sensor and the Venus Engine reproduce extraordinary color detail and natural texture expression. Multipixel Luminance Generation and Intelligent Detail Processing render intense brightness and contrast. The Three-Dimensional Color Control zings with rich colors from dark to bright shades, and high-precision Multi Process NR makes your images pop even at high sensitivity settings.
5-axis Dual I.S. 2
Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) in the camera and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lens,* the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 compensates for blurring even powerfully, allowing the use of a 7-stop slower shutter speed. ** The astonishing power of the 5-axis Body I.S. with 5.5-stop compensation power*** corrects shake for all lenses, even those not equipped with O.I.S.
* 5-axis Dual I.S.2 can be used with the lens S-R24105, S-E70200 and S-R70200 as of November 6, 2019. ** Based on the CIPA standard (Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=200mm when S-E70200 is used). *** Based on the CIPA standard (Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=50mm when S-X50 is used).
4K 60p/50p Smooth Video
In combination, Panasonic’s 4K technology, CMOS sensor, and Venus Engine deliver spectacular 4K 60p/50p video in a full-frame format.* The outstanding heat dissipation allows offer both 4K 30p/25p/24p and FHD recording with no time limit.**
* Maximum recording time of 29 minutes 59 seconds in 4K 60p/50p. ** Excludes high-speed video recording. When the ambient temperature is high or continuous recording is performed, the camera may stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.
4:2:2 10-bit Internal Rec (Optional)
By activating this product with Upgrade Software Key DMW-SFU2 (sold separately), you can enjoy best-in-class 14+ stops V-Log as well as many other advanced video functions for use in a professional setting.*
* The firmware of DC-S1 needs to be updated to Ver. 1.2 to activate this function. ・Please refer to the bundled instruction manual for the activation procedure. ・Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
Advanced Recognition Technology
Super-fast sensor-lens communication of 480 fps and Panasonic’s DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology help make high-speed, high-precision autofocus of approximately 0.08 seconds a reality.* Advanced AI technology can recognize not only the human body but such animals as canidae, felidae, and birds, while the high-performance tracking system helps keep the subject in focus at all times. In addition, the low-light autofocus performs at an impressive -6EV.**
* 11EV, at wide-end with S-R24105 (CIPA) in LVF120 fps setting. ** At ISO100, F1.4, AFS. 100% contrast target.
5,760k-dot Real View Finder
Boasting the world’s highest resolution of 5,760k dots, the Real View Finder is the largest in its class.* Outstanding clarity make it feel as though you’re looking at the subject with your own eye and help you concentrate while shooting.
* Among full-frame digital single-lens mirrorless cameras as of February 1, 2019.
Tough Body for a Wide Range of Weather Conditions
The magnesium alloy full die-cast frame is highly durable, while sealing helps protect every seam, dial, and button. The camera as a whole is dust- and splash-resistant* and designed for use at temperatures as low as -10 °C.
* Dust- and splash-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
