Product Overview
The LUMIX DC-S1BODY from Panasonic is an L-Mount lens compatible camera body that produces unprecedented image quality with high resolution, rich gradation and superior color reproduction. Designed for exceptional photography as well as professional quality video, the LUMIX S1 comes with a 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor (35.6mm x 23.8mm) that provides a wide dynamic range and excellent performance at high sensitivity in addition to a natural yet sharp image description thanks to sufficient light condensation per pixel. Equipped with outstanding image stabilization and powered by the Venus Engine, the camera performs up to the highest standards in photography as well as offering advanced video recording with well-retained highlight and shadow details.
The Panasonic LUMIX S1 supports professional use in videography by taking advantage of the stunning expression performance that a full-frame camera can offer. It records smooth 4K 60p video and enables full-pixel readout of signals in 4K 30p/25p*1 to save truly beautiful footage. Furthermore, the LUMIX S1 will comply with 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 30p/25p*1 internal video recording and 4K 60p HDMI output as well as V-Log, with a software upgrade key (to be sold separately). (NOTE: *1 PAL area only.)
A high-speed, high-precision AF system based on advanced control technology over the lens, the sensor, and the Venus Engine enable the user to capture the target in sharp focus without fail. The LUMIX S Series also boasts industry-leading video recording performance (4K 60p), intuitive control, a rugged design for heavy field use, durability, and expandability. For fast moving situations the LUMIX S1 is capable of shooting at a rate of 9 fps in AFS or 6 fps with continuous focusing. The 6K Photo mode allows bursts of 18-million-pixel JPEG images at 30 fps, while 4K Photo offers sequences at 30 or 60 fps with 8-megapixel resolution.*3
The LUMIX S1 incorporates a Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) to effectively compensate for the hand-shake movement. Combining the Body I.S.(5-axis) and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lenses, the Dual I.S. 2*3 boasts even more powerful compensates for virtually any types of blur. Equipped with a high-resolution Real View Finder, triaxial tilt rear monitor and high performance shutter unit with high durability, the rugged design LUMIX S1R/S1 provides the professional photographers with high reliability.
Photographers can also protect their work by having the camera automatically add their personal details and copyright information to Exif data as pictures are recorded. The LUMIX S1 allows video recording up to 4K 60/50p 4:2:0 in 8 Bit directly to SD- or XQD-card with 4:2:2 color sampling that can be put out through HDMI. (Panasonic will provide a software key to unlock the option to record 4K 60/50p 4:2:2 10 Bit via HDMI-output and 30p/25p/24p in 4:2:2)

- Use an XQD or SD memory card with SD Speed Class with "UHS-I / UHS-II UHS Speed Class 3 (U3)" when recording motion pictures with [MP4] in [4K] [High Speed Video] or [6K PHOTO/4K PHOTO].
- SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.):
- Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 10 minutes with [MP4] in [6K PHOTO].
- Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 15 minutes with [MP4] in [High Speed Video] [4K PHOTO].
