The Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 (Black) is a professional-grade full-frame mirrorless camera designed for photographers and videographers who demand exceptional image quality, robust build, and advanced video capabilities. As part of Panasonic’s Lumix S-series, the S1 features a high-resolution 24.2MP CMOS sensor, a powerful Venus Engine processor, and cutting-edge image stabilization, making it a versatile tool for creative professionals.

Built around a full-frame 24.2MP MOS sensor, the Lumix DC-S1 delivers outstanding detail, dynamic range, and low-light performance. The wide ISO range of 100-51200 (expandable to 50-204800) ensures excellent image clarity in both bright and dim conditions, while the Dual Native ISO technology helps minimize noise when shooting in challenging lighting. Whether capturing stills or recording video, the camera produces sharp, vibrant, and true-to-life colors with deep shadows and natural highlights.

The Panasonic Lumix S1 is also a powerhouse for videographers, offering 4K UHD recording at up to 60fps, with 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording for professional-grade color grading. The camera supports V-Log and HDR (Hybrid Log-Gamma) profiles, enabling a wider dynamic range and greater flexibility in post-production. Filmmakers will appreciate unlimited recording in 4K at 30fps, allowing for extended shooting sessions without overheating concerns. Additionally, high-speed Full HD recording at up to 180fps enables stunning slow-motion capture.

For autofocus performance, the Lumix DC-S1 utilizes a high-speed DFD (Depth From Defocus) autofocus system with contrast detection, ensuring fast, accurate, and reliable subject tracking. The advanced AI-powered autofocus can detect humans, animals, and moving objects, making it an ideal choice for wildlife, sports, and portrait photography. The 96-point contrast-detection AF system ensures precise focusing even in low-light conditions as dim as -6 EV.

One of the standout features of the Lumix S1 is its 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 (Image Stabilization) system, which combines sensor-shift stabilization with lens-based stabilization to provide up to 6.5 stops of shake correction. This allows photographers and videographers to capture sharp, blur-free images and smooth handheld footage, even in challenging environments or without a tripod.

The camera’s rugged magnesium-alloy body is weather-sealed, dustproof, and freeze-resistant, making it highly durable for professionals who work in extreme conditions.
