Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 Body

A new 24.2MP CMOS sensor that delivers incredibly realistic detail. 4K video recording with no time limit complements professional-level video performance. Going beyond the boundaries of still and video, the Panasonic Lumix S1 full-frame mirrorless camera inspires passionate image creation! 24.2MP CMOS 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. Leveraging the power of the Venus Engine, the camera offers maximum sensitivity at an impressive ISO 51200. Professional photographers and videographers are sure to appreciate this combination of ultra-high sensitivity performance with ultra-high image quality. Venus Engine Beauty The marriage of a CMOS sensor with the beautiful Venus Engine reproduces 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 ISO sensitivity settings. 5-axis Dual I.S. Be confident taking incredibly sharp handheld photos without having to worry about shake: the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 (Image Stabilizer), intelligent compensation comes to your aid. This is the equivalent to 6 doublings of exposure duration, meaning you can use a 6-stop slower shutter speed up to tele-end. The LUMIX S1 eliminates shake in both body and lens even at the telephoto setting. It also works in both photo and video recording, including 4K video. 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. 4K 60p/50p Smooth Video Recording In combination, Panasonic’s 4K technology, new CMOS sensor, and new Venus Engine deliver spectacular 4K 60p/50p video (QFHD 4K: 3840 x 2160 MP4) in a full-frame format (maximum recording time of 29 minutes 59 seconds in 4K 60p/50p). Thanks to these advanced technologies, even rapidly moving scenes look smooth and natural.Further, the LUMIX S1 is designed for outstanding heat dissipation, allowing it to offer both 4K 30p/25p/24p and full-HD recording with no time limit. The capacity to record for extended periods of this time makes this camera an ideal choice for a wide range of professional uses, such as no-cut documentaries, fixed-point observation of wild animals, and more. 4:2:2 10-bit Internal Recording Addressing the needs of professionals, the LUMIX S1 will offer 4K 30p/25p/24p 4:2:2 10-bit internal video recording, 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 60p/50p with an HDMI live output, and V-Log with a software upgrade key (sold separately). 4:2:2 10-bit video has approximately 128 times the data volume of 4:2:0 8-bit and is capable of expressing over 1 billion colors. This massive volume of color data is highly valuable in post-production, making it possible to adjust color dynamically and radically and even turn daylight scenes into nighttime scenes. In addition, 4K 30p/25p/24p video can be shot with a crop factor of 1.0x and full-pixel readout. Leveraging the expressive power of a full-frame camera takes 4K video to exciting new places. Advanced Recognition Technology Panasonic’s advanced technology provides unified control of the sensor, engine, and lens to deliver high-speed, high-precision focus at every angle. 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. In addition, the low-light autofocus performs at an impressive -6EV. Higher sensitivity and optimized tuning of the sensor have increased luminance detection performance, making possible crisp focusing with nothing more than starlight. Advanced AI technology can recognize not only the human body but such animals as dogs, cats, and birds, while the high-performance tracking system helps keep the subject in focus at all times. 5,760k-dot Resolution 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 and sharpness make it feel as though you’re looking at the subject with your own eye and help you concentrate while shooting. With a lens designed for minimum distortion from the center to the corners and high magnification of 0.78x, the Real View Finder supports both perfect framing and high-precision focusing. The responsive OLED display offers an extremely low 0.005-second minimum lag time and an ultra-high 120 fps refresh rate to help keep fast-moving subjects in view. In addition, the 0.78x magnification ratio can be switched to 0.7x or 0.74x according to the shooting situation. Tough Body for a Wide Range of Weather Conditions The tough body is ready to take on a variety of challenging shooting environments. 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. In combination, these features help make shooting both productive and enjoyable in a wide range of weather conditions.
