Panasonic Corporation has announced the development of the LUMIX S1H, a new DSLM camera with a full-frame image sensor. It is the world's first digital interchangeable-lens camera to record video in 6K/24P, 5.9K/30p and 10-bit 60p 4K/C4K.

The mobile, mirrorless system camera has been specially designed for serious videographers. Panasonic will introduce the camera worldwide in autumn 2019.

Panasonic's video capabilities have been popular with videographers for some time, including those of the S1 models with 4K full-frame video that were released this year. However, the S1 and S1R cameras are more suited to photographers than filmmakers. Hence the introduction of this new 6K Lumix S1H camera.

Resolution up to 6K

The most distinctive feature of the Panasonic S1H is 6K video in 6K/24p (3:2 aspect ratio) or 5.9K/30p (16:9 aspect ratio). In addition, the camera is equipped with extra recording formats, such as 4:3 Anamorphic.

The high resolution can also be used to create 4K videos with higher image quality or to crop footage in 4K.

The Lumix S1H offers V-Log/V-Gamut with a wide dynamic range of 14+ stops, which is almost the same as that of the professional Panasonic Cinema VariCam.

This means everything can be captured very accurately, from the dark areas to the highlights. The colour and even the texture of human skin are reproduced realistically.

Thanks to the consistency in colour management, footage from the S1H is also compatible with V-Log footage from the VariCam and with V-Log L footage from the LUMIX GH5 or GH5S. It therefore fits perfectly into your existing workflow.

Continuous recording

Another important advantage: In all of the S1H's recording modes, continuous video recording is possible at the certified operating temperature, allowing the user to focus on recording.

The ambient temperature does play a role here, but you do not have to worry about the camera stopping after fifteen minutes or half an hour. This can still be a limitation when filming in 4K with many other cameras.

As long as the battery is not empty and the memory card is not full, you can simply keep filming. This camera seems ideal for documentary makers, filmmakers and travellers. The rest of the specifications will be announced later, but this is already very intriguing!

Price and availability

Exact prices and delivery times are not yet known, but the expected delivery date is the third quarter of 2019.

You mean digital still camera, because there have been 6K video cameras with interchangeable lenses for a long time.
