the Lumix s1h launch event in Hollywood

0:00:17.310,0:00:21.119
was the first opportunity to get my

0:00:19.500,0:00:23.100
hands on the new camera along with a

0:00:21.119,0:00:24.630
bunch of other media be sure to play

0:00:23.100,0:00:27.360
spot the youtuber throughout this video

0:00:24.630,0:00:29.040
we started in the Dolby screening room

0:00:27.360,0:00:31.020
at the Hollywood vine theater housing

0:00:29.040,0:00:33.180
the single best theatre projection in

0:00:31.020,0:00:34.710
Hollywood which as one guest pointed out

0:00:33.180,0:00:36.900
really tells you just how much

0:00:34.710,0:00:39.170
confidence Panasonic has on the s18

0:00:36.900,0:00:39.170
splitter

0:00:39.949,0:00:44.550
we watched the launch and a technical

0:00:42.360,0:00:46.920
presentation on the s1h which was live

0:00:44.550,0:00:48.989
streamed by the way link below then went

0:00:46.920,0:00:50.690
to the Goya Studios soundstage to get

0:00:48.989,0:00:53.280
hands-on time with the cameras

0:00:50.690,0:00:55.710
Panasonic had built a series of sets to

0:00:53.280,0:00:57.720
shoot with fully kitted out s1h cameras

0:00:55.710,0:00:59.820
with atlas orion anamorphic lenses and

0:00:57.720,0:01:02.820
adam most reporters which by the way

0:00:59.820,0:01:04.309
will record raw video from the s1h in

0:01:02.820,0:01:06.420
the near future

0:01:04.309,0:01:08.159
the rigs were pretty impressive and

0:01:06.420,0:01:09.960
since I know a lot of us are interested

0:01:08.159,0:01:11.430
in the new tilting free angle monitor

0:01:09.960,0:01:21.029
here's how that works

0:01:11.430,0:01:21.029
[Music]

0:01:22.750,0:01:27.280
we watched a series of short films shot

0:01:25.180,0:01:29.140
on the s1h and had a Q&A session with

0:01:27.280,0:01:30.670
each of the filmmakers these shorts are

0:01:29.140,0:01:32.620
all available on YouTube now you're

0:01:30.670,0:01:34.390
watching a piece of the sizzle reel here

0:01:32.620,0:01:35.890
but in the description below i've linked

0:01:34.390,0:01:37.520
to a playlist of all these shorts

0:01:35.890,0:01:44.480
they're all worth watching

0:01:37.520,0:01:44.480
[Music]

0:01:45.710,0:01:50.510
as you can see we have some sets here

0:01:48.170,0:01:51.830
and we're ready to hand out cameras the

0:01:50.510,0:01:53.870
first thing I did with the camera was go

0:01:51.830,0:01:56.180
through the menus some highlights audio

0:01:53.870,0:01:58.520
gain has a new low setting and levels

0:01:56.180,0:02:00.770
now go down to minus 18 and quite

0:01:58.520,0:02:03.380
possibly my favorite new feature there's

0:02:00.770,0:02:05.869
finally a red frame one recording option

0:02:03.380,0:02:07.369
so you know when you've hit record

0:02:05.869,0:02:10.130
there's also tell you lights on the back

0:02:07.369,0:02:11.390
in front of the camera pretty cool I ran

0:02:10.130,0:02:13.430
through the recording options and

0:02:11.390,0:02:14.690
captured all seven pages of settings

0:02:13.430,0:02:16.730
because I know some of you will be

0:02:14.690,0:02:18.350
really interested in this just pause on

0:02:16.730,0:02:20.480
any screen you want to get a closer look

0:02:18.350,0:02:23.680
at or scrub forward about 30 more

0:02:20.480,0:02:23.680
seconds to skip all of these

0:02:57.860,0:03:01.800
the first shots are recorded we're using

0:03:00.210,0:03:03.990
the cameras that Panasonic had set up

0:03:01.800,0:03:06.600
with 2x anamorphic lenses shooting in

0:03:03.990,0:03:08.040
v-log these were shot 48 P so I've

0:03:06.600,0:03:14.220
slowed them down to play frame for frame

0:03:08.040,0:03:16.320
on this 30 P timeline in addition to be

0:03:14.220,0:03:19.830
afar the cameras can now record natively

0:03:16.320,0:03:21.720
in 1080p at 120 frames per second in 10

0:03:19.830,0:03:25.920
bit which means you get audio and

0:03:21.720,0:03:27.690
autofocus for slow-motion now watch this

0:03:25.920,0:03:30.690
notice how I blew the highlights in this

0:03:27.690,0:03:33.140
shot but since it's 10 bit that can be

0:03:30.690,0:03:33.140
recovered

0:03:37.540,0:03:43.870
this is shot in six K first plane back

0:03:40.790,0:03:47.120
scaled down to 65% to fill the 4 K frame

0:03:43.870,0:03:49.210
then again at 100% punching into the

0:03:47.120,0:03:52.040
shot but still viewing one-to-one pixels

0:03:49.210,0:03:54.380
this is what I'm most excited about the

0:03:52.040,0:03:56.720
ability to reframe and still deliver 4k

0:03:54.380,0:03:58.430
without scaling up that covers

0:03:56.720,0:03:59.810
everything that I had video for but of

0:03:58.430,0:04:01.370
course there's a lot more bullet points

0:03:59.810,0:04:02.900
that I want to go through so let's just

0:04:01.370,0:04:04.280
start with some of the specs as you

0:04:02.900,0:04:06.830
probably know it is a twenty four point

0:04:04.280,0:04:08.660
two megapixel full-frame sensor but what

0:04:06.830,0:04:10.790
you may not have realized is that this

0:04:08.660,0:04:12.680
sensor actually has a low-pass filter on

0:04:10.790,0:04:15.530
it now why is the low-pass filter back

0:04:12.680,0:04:17.930
the gx8 was the first lumix camera to

0:04:15.530,0:04:21.320
remove the low-pass filter and the gh 5

0:04:17.930,0:04:23.090
g h5 s g9 s 1 and s 1r are all lacking

0:04:21.320,0:04:24.950
the low-pass filter as well by taking

0:04:23.090,0:04:27.020
that off you increase sharpness the

0:04:24.950,0:04:29.120
image becomes a little bit sharper by

0:04:27.020,0:04:31.220
putting it back on the image does get a

0:04:29.120,0:04:33.440
little bit softer but what you gain is

0:04:31.220,0:04:35.570
the elimination of Moray which can

0:04:33.440,0:04:37.400
obviously be a problem in video it also

0:04:35.570,0:04:39.530
has the side benefit of actually making

0:04:37.400,0:04:41.540
the image look a little bit more filmic

0:04:39.530,0:04:43.340
as you can imagine film is not perfectly

0:04:41.540,0:04:45.590
perfectly sharp so having the low-pass

0:04:43.340,0:04:49.550
filter back on there just adds to the s1

0:04:45.590,0:04:51.260
h's film look the full sensor full area

0:04:49.550,0:04:53.900
of the sensor of course requires a 6k

0:04:51.260,0:04:56.120
and 24 P and the great benefit of that

0:04:53.900,0:04:58.340
is something called open gate back in

0:04:56.120,0:05:00.020
the days of film you shot full-frame 35

0:04:58.340,0:05:02.750
millimeter film and then had a lot of

0:05:00.020,0:05:03.800
room to reframe or crop in post and you

0:05:02.750,0:05:06.740
have that again when you're shooting

0:05:03.800,0:05:09.650
open gate and full 3:2 aspect ratio if

0:05:06.740,0:05:12.140
you don't need full 3:2 if you want to

0:05:09.650,0:05:14.240
go to 16 by 9 you get to shoot at 5.9 K

0:05:12.140,0:05:16.550
so just barely a little bit less and you

0:05:14.240,0:05:18.680
can do that all the way up to 30 P if

0:05:16.550,0:05:21.770
you want to shoot in cinema 4k you can

0:05:18.680,0:05:24.770
go up to 60 P in 10 bit the camera also

0:05:21.770,0:05:26.120
features dual native ISO and that's 100

0:05:24.770,0:05:27.950
and 640

0:05:26.120,0:05:32.690
when you're shooting in a non log mode

0:05:27.950,0:05:35.000
and it's 640 and 4,000 native in log the

0:05:32.690,0:05:36.860
camera also features dual SD card slots

0:05:35.000,0:05:41.060
so we're back to what we had on the GH 5

0:05:36.860,0:05:44.300
and the g9 not the SD and the q XD slot

0:05:41.060,0:05:46.250
2x execute x QD it doesn't have x QD

0:05:44.300,0:05:47.810
like the s 1 and s 1 are due it just

0:05:46.250,0:05:49.370
doesn't need that much bandwidth to

0:05:47.810,0:05:51.860
deliver the video that the s1

0:05:49.370,0:05:54.080
does the camera has 14 plus stops of a

0:05:51.860,0:05:56.780
dynamic range including V log and V

0:05:54.080,0:05:59.180
gamut and the V gamma gives you access

0:05:56.780,0:06:01.370
to the Vera Camelot library of 35

0:05:59.180,0:06:04.280
different looks that are very popular

0:06:01.370,0:06:05.750
among the Vera Cam world the camera also

0:06:04.280,0:06:07.850
supports and I'm probably going to

0:06:05.750,0:06:10.160
explain this somewhat incorrectly but it

0:06:07.850,0:06:12.110
supports IDT or input device transform

0:06:10.160,0:06:14.060
which as I understand it allows you to

0:06:12.110,0:06:16.490
make the look of the camera conform to

0:06:14.060,0:06:18.500
the aces as the academy color system

0:06:16.490,0:06:20.930
which means that it can perfectly match

0:06:18.500,0:06:23.000
cameras from any other manufacturer

0:06:20.930,0:06:26.060
basically any cinema camera can be made

0:06:23.000,0:06:28.100
to match using this format or this

0:06:26.060,0:06:30.050
system again I'm explaining it

0:06:28.100,0:06:31.520
incorrectly I'm sure but but the point

0:06:30.050,0:06:34.400
is you can make this color match any

0:06:31.520,0:06:35.900
other cinema camera the camera offers

0:06:34.400,0:06:38.330
support for a variety of anamorphic Dee

0:06:35.900,0:06:40.490
squeezes and matches the four perf size

0:06:38.330,0:06:43.039
to make the most of classic anamorphic

0:06:40.490,0:06:44.600
lenses it of course has five axis and

0:06:43.039,0:06:46.370
body stabilization which I think came as

0:06:44.600,0:06:49.070
a surprise to a lot of people we

0:06:46.370,0:06:51.680
expected to see possibly the removal of

0:06:49.070,0:06:53.660
embody stabilization like we lost in the

0:06:51.680,0:06:56.510
gh 5s when going with the dual native

0:06:53.660,0:06:58.250
ISO but here in the s1h we have the best

0:06:56.510,0:07:00.260
of both and that is giving us

0:06:58.250,0:07:02.330
six-and-a-half stops of image

0:07:00.260,0:07:04.280
stabilization now Panasonic said that is

0:07:02.330,0:07:06.169
near gimbal like stability for handheld

0:07:04.280,0:07:07.310
work I don't know if I'd go that far

0:07:06.169,0:07:09.080
you're not gonna walk down the street

0:07:07.310,0:07:10.700
and expect to get gimbal smoothness but

0:07:09.080,0:07:12.280
if you're standing and holding it you're

0:07:10.700,0:07:14.780
gonna get some pretty solid shots

0:07:12.280,0:07:16.700
you also get unlimited recording time

0:07:14.780,0:07:19.699
like you get with the gh 5 in gh 5s

0:07:16.700,0:07:21.470
there are hospital SD card slots so as

0:07:19.699,0:07:23.510
one fills up and it switches over to the

0:07:21.470,0:07:25.550
other you can simply swap out the full

0:07:23.510,0:07:27.620
card but you also get simultaneous

0:07:25.550,0:07:29.750
recording an internal and out over the

0:07:27.620,0:07:31.400
HDMI which offers some interesting

0:07:29.750,0:07:33.740
workflow possibilities where you could

0:07:31.400,0:07:35.810
record one format internally and another

0:07:33.740,0:07:38.150
externally for a proxy workflow for

0:07:35.810,0:07:40.610
example now because of that HDMI out and

0:07:38.150,0:07:42.260
cooperation with atomos we do know that

0:07:40.610,0:07:45.080
we are going to be getting raw recording

0:07:42.260,0:07:46.760
over HDMI out in the near future the

0:07:45.080,0:07:48.650
cameras freeze resistant down to minus

0:07:46.760,0:07:50.539
10 degrees Celsius and dust and splash

0:07:48.650,0:07:52.160
proof even with the vent and I think

0:07:50.539,0:07:54.410
this is an interesting thing to think

0:07:52.160,0:07:56.660
about there is an air vent on this

0:07:54.410,0:07:58.610
camera it is actually air cooled and you

0:07:56.660,0:08:00.320
might think we'll hold on how can air go

0:07:58.610,0:08:02.270
through the camera but not water and

0:08:00.320,0:08:02.810
dust well you have to remember and this

0:08:02.270,0:08:04.820
is a

0:08:02.810,0:08:07.040
that Matt told at the presentation that

0:08:04.820,0:08:09.440
Panasonic is used to building air-cooled

0:08:07.040,0:08:11.660
water resistant hardware they've been

0:08:09.440,0:08:14.210
building Panasonic Toughbook switch our

0:08:11.660,0:08:16.580
notebooks that are military-grade for a

0:08:14.210,0:08:19.460
very long time and those machines are

0:08:16.580,0:08:21.830
really strong and really tough and water

0:08:19.460,0:08:23.360
resistant Matt actually told a story of

0:08:21.830,0:08:24.800
spilling I think apple juice onto the

0:08:23.360,0:08:26.210
keyboard of a Toughbook and cleaning it

0:08:24.800,0:08:29.270
out by holding it under the kitchen

0:08:26.210,0:08:31.250
faucet the way that it works is the air

0:08:29.270,0:08:33.500
vent actually doesn't pass air through

0:08:31.250,0:08:35.930
the camera itself it's passing it over

0:08:33.500,0:08:38.930
basically a heat sink so the camera

0:08:35.930,0:08:40.580
itself is weather sealed the entire LCD

0:08:38.930,0:08:42.380
display enclosure is weather sealed and

0:08:40.580,0:08:44.390
then the air is passed between those two

0:08:42.380,0:08:46.490
enclosures last little note you get
