24.2MP Full-frame CMOS Sensor

The LUMIX S1 comes with a 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor. Providing ample light condensation per pixel, the LUMIX S1 boasts a wide dynamic range and reproduces sharp images with exceptional clarity. The new Venus Engine, which is exclusively tuned for the full-frame camera, and its Multipixel Luminance Generation and Intelligent Detail Processing, realize natural, high-resolution expression while suppressing colour moiré.

Three-dimensional Color Control also improves the colour reproduction of both bright areas and shadows. Thanks to the high-performance sensor and engine, true-to-life images from low to high sensitivity are realized. The LUMIX S1 is an ideal camera especially in low-light situations with minimal noise even at the maximum ISO51200.

6-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. 2

The LUMIX S1R/S1 integrates the Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) with 5.5-stop

compensation power. Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) and the O.I.S. (Optical

Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lenses, the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2

compensates for larger movements that were conventionally uncontrollable. It is

highly beneficial for telephoto shots and adverse situations, such as in low light

or with one-handed shooting with a 6-stop slower shutter speed.

High-Resolution Mode – 96MP

High-Resolution mode enables ultra-high precision photo shooting. Eight consecutive

images are automatically shot while shifting the sensor using the Body I.S. mechanism

and synthesized into a RAW image. This mode is ideal for taking natural landscapes or

fine arts with delicate details. However, it can also be used in situations where moving

subjects are included in the scene, by switching the sub-mode.

HLG Photo Mode – New Style of Photo Expression

Panasonic's HLG Photo mode excels in the expression of lights, such as sparkling

starlight or glaring sunlight.*4 It provides a wider dynamic range to reproduce light

and shadows with more natural contrast. The HLG Photos can be produced as HSP

files with compressed high-brightness signals.*5 Photographers can view those

images on the latest Panasonic HLG-compliant 4KTV via HDMI cable connection or

other HLG-compliant devices.

High-precision Shutter Unit

The new shutter unit offers a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 second to capture

fast moving subjects and to use a high-speed lens with a fully open aperture even

outdoors. The external flash can be synchronized with the industry’s fastest shutter

speed*6 of a maximum 1/320 second.*

High-speed, High-precision AF of Approximately 0.08 sec

Panasonic has achieved a high-speed AF with its advanced control technology over

major devices – lens, sensor and imaging engine. The lens and sensor communicate

at a maximum 480 fps. Combining the Contrast AF with DFD technology, the LUMIX

S1 realizes an ultra high-speed, high-precision AF of approximately 0.08 sec.

Low Light AF in -6EV Condition

As a camera that excels in low-light shooting, the LUMIX S1R/S1 boasts -6EV*9

luminance detection performance with Low Light AF thanks to the higher sensitivity

and optimized tuning of the sensor.

Adoption of AI Technology

The LUMIX S1 also incorporates Advanced AI Technology that detects specific

subjects – humans and fast-moving animals, including canidae, felidae and birds.

The LUMIX S1R/S1 keeps tracking these subjects even when they turn their back to

the camera.

Video Recording Performance

4K 60p/50p video recording is available in the LUMIX S1. Furthermore, the LUMIX

S1 is capable of recording a full-pixel readout of signals and a crop factor of 1.0x in

30p/25p to save truly beautiful footage with no time limit for both Full-HD and 4K

30p/25p, as well as HDR (High Dynamic Range) video recording. The LUMIX S1 will

comply with 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 30p/25p internal video recording, 4K 60p/50p HDMI output

and V-Log with a software upgrade key (to be sold separately).

High-Speed Video

The High-Speed Video lets you record slow-motion video in 4K (max. 60 fps / 50fps) and

FHD (max. 180 fps / 150fps).

The Largest-in-class Real View Finder

The largest-in-class Real View Finder boasts the world’s highest 5,760k-dot

resolution. The 0.78x magnification ratio can be switched to 0.7x or 0.74x

according to the shooting situation. Adoption of a high-speed, high-precision OLED

(Organic Light-Emitting Diode) for the LVF achieves smooth display at 60 fps / 120 fps

(switchable) and high-speed response with minimum time lag of less than 0.005 sec

as well as 10,000:1 high contrast for exceptional visibility.

Triaxial Tilt Rear Monitor and Status LCD

The 2,100K-dot high-resolution monitor in 3:2 aspect ratio has adopted a triaxial tilt

moving element to secure both durability and operational ease. It also has a touch

control system.

The LUMIX S1 includes a largest-in-class Status LCD on the top, allowing

users to check the settings at a glance.

Double Memory Card Slot

The Double Memory Card slot is compatible with SD Memory Cards (UHS-II) and XQD

Memory Cards for high-speed, high-capacity, continuous data recording.

It will also be compatible with CFexpress in the near future.

Rugged Design

To be tough enough to withstand heavy field use, the main structure is composed of

a magnesium alloy full die-cast front/rear frame. Robust construction and sealing

for every joint, dial, and button make the LUMIX S1 not only dust resistant and

splash resistant but also operates down to -10 degrees Centigrade. The shutter

unit is also durable for approximately 400,000 cycles.

When paired with the DMW-XLR1, the DMC-GH5 gains two professional-grade XLR inputs, enabling videographers to use their broadcast level microphones. The adaptor is powered by the DMC-GH5 battery and audio is transferred cable-free to the video file on the SD Card. This interface unit also supports 48 volt phantom power (which provides power to condenser microphones) and includes independent pads, low cut filters and gain control on each channel. The XLR1 also has a hot shoe mount on top to conveniently mount a microphone, wireless microphone receiver or a video light.
