#Panasonic #S1H #Filmmaker
Great video! I just hit the AF-On button to pull focus while in manual focus. I set the button on the back to near focus and the top button on the front to far focus. It works really well and really fast.
Great tip thank you🙏
I'm a real man...I pull my own focus lol. Crazy enough, I went thru these 10 things...I won't and normally dont have issues with any of em. GH4 owner, GH5 owner, will definitely be shooting a whole doc on the S1H. Upgrading for sure.
Some people won't. Some people do. Most of these things aren't really that big a deal.
Hi Dustin, again a great video from you.
Appreciate your honest comments on this beast of a camera.
I bought mine just some weeks ago, and I did not regret it so far. And yes, it was painful for me, being a true Nikonista for years, giving up some of my lenses (while keeping some with a Novoflex adapter in manual mode for the S1H).
But the best thing of the S1H I was not really aware of when making the decision - and, there are not many videos about it around:
It is the fact that there is a small little thing, called IDT (Input Device Transform) from Panasonic for their professonal film cameras to work in the ACES colorspace in Davinci Resolve (I guess, it is available for other SW, too).
And, the Panasonic IDT works also for the S1H as it has the same color science sensor wise. That makes the use of this camera really superior when shooting in Log - great colors that fully comply with a RED, BM, etc. And, no more fumbling around with those "I make your footage look cinematic" type of crappy LUTs that ruin your dynamic range during processing. BTW, ACES is one of the Netflix requirments for fil makers - they know why.
Hope to see more great stuff from you soon!
Thank you!
This is super good info and I definitely need to make a video about it. Thank you!
That is really useful, thanks a lot!
@@raksh9 no problem
Thanks bro am picking one soon am glad i finally find a good choice
HI. Awesome video. What about the fan noise? Is it noisy while filming? Thank you
Honestly have never had it turn on so I’m not sure how loud it is. I think it only turns on when you’re shooting at high resolutions or frame rates in All-I for very long periods of time. From what I’ve seen on RUclips it’s not very loud
The truth is that there’s no perfect camera
Every camera has a problem
The s1h is my dream camera
I hope to get it soon
Did you get it yet?
You are right bro
Has the S1H given you any problems recording in 6k internal with SDCX cards?
@@lapinchetele haven't used it before
@@lifewalklens8447 And in 4k DCI the cards have worked well for you?
Thank you so much Dustin for this video. I wish there were more people like you who would be honest and unbiased
No problem. Glad you enjoyed
New sub here you deserve way more than what you currently have keep up the great work. I’ve been tempted to get the S1H but I’m still on the fence
Welcome! Do itttttttttttttttt. Maybe wait until the Sony A7sIII is released then decide.
Dustin Armstrong yes that’s what I’m thinking to wait on the a7siii was tempted by the Canon r5 but it’s overheating issues have put me off it
@@OzzieTech Yep. It definitely put me off as well. I'm done dealing with overheating cameras haha
Glad I waited for the a7s 3 :)
It's a great camera👀 I pre orded! Excited to test it out!
thanks for the content. i appreciate it
You are very welcome. I appreciate you.
Great video thanks bro
No problem🙏
My experience is such that...i will be ordering 2 more for my work. That is how versatile and robust they are!
It's a great camera!
Has the S1H given you any problems recording in 6k internal with SDCX cards?
Hey, I'm really close to purchasing this camera, but I wanted to know if the linear focus option is available on third-party lenses from Sigma. I'm debating between using the MC-21 to adapt Sigma EF lenses because they are all clutch based, but if you can set linear focus on the L mount Sigma glass, I'd much rather use that. I've looked everywhere for an answer and haven't been able to find one. Great video btw. I really appreciate the S1H content. Very clear, concise, and info-packed.
Nice! I'm fairly certain the linear focus only works with Panasonic lenses. Don't quote me on it though. Thank you though! More S1H content to come don't worry
Solid video 👍
You are a solid human 👍
And yes...the white balance not showing the k number when using custom is SO annoying. I like seeing those numbers and settings so I can learn more about these things as I use the gear.
I agree
Really appreciate your content right now; I sold my GH4s this week after five years of faithful service to upgrade to this beast.
I was considering the R5, but I made the trade-off of Autofocus for unlimited recording time (you can’t say you’re making a video-focussed camera if you don’t offer this, in my view). And the money I had left over allowed me to update a bunch of gear that had gotten long in the tooth.
Keep making stuff - I’ve not found any other creators making valuable content for S1H users. Once I get to grips with the beast I might start myself... anyway, cheers.
Glad you're finding it valuable! Dang 5 years that's a LONG time.
I think we all considered the R5, but agree the unlimited recording is a deal breaker but the biggest deal breaker for me was the overheating filming in 4k 10 bit. I've just out grown 8 bit and 10 bit is perfect. Plus I'm trying to stay ahead and produce only 4k content and I can't shoot with a camera that overheats when shooting 4k (already dealt with that for 2 years on the A7III)
I wasn't the first, but I feel like I'm the most consistent currently. Glad you have found it helpful! You totally should. Like they say, competition is good for the consumers👍🙏
You'll also get much better dynamic range and low light capabilities with the S1H. After firmware 2.0 and noise reduction set to -1 in V-Log, the image is just stunning.
Yes. Also Dennis you've coverted me to your lut. It's fantastic. I want to make a video about it in the future
@@DustinArmstrongPro Oh that's great!
Going to send PM via FB messenger for beta access ;)
@@DennisSchmitz would love that! I'll let you you know when I make that video
for autofocus : you have to click to lock yellow box in order to measure correctly. click the joystick to lock in. And it is OK AF Speed -2 , sensitivity +3 for no pulsing
Hi Dustin. Regarding point 2 and the Zoom to AF when in MF. I don't have that issue as I have setup a function button (which is the button on the S, C & MF switch) to enable/disable this when I need it. I don't use the touch screen and have disabled this function when I use the focus ring. I'm not sure which setting I changed but on the Gear->AF menu 1. I have AF+MF=OFF, Focus Ring Lock=OFF. If I find it I will ping you! Not much help I know but having just got my S1H a few weeks ago I am loving it. QQ - do you Vlog-L as your main profile? I was wondering what your best picture setting are for Full HD 120P as in Vlog-L it gets a bit noisy even in good light? I like the Natural Profile and have used Vlog-L (using your LUTs) which is also good. I was also looking at Cine D. Having come from GH4 then GH5, I am loving the FF look of the S1H and find the transition from the GH series to the S1H very easy.
Please do! Lol. I'm so sick of that tick box. I will try what you suggested and see if that gets rid of it. I use VLOG and the S1H doesn't have VLOG L. It's the same V-LOG in the EVA and Varicam so it's a bit better/different than VLOG L. I use natural quite often including when I shoot these youtube videos. I have a video planned where I test all the picture profiles and figure out which is the least noisy in lower light situations so once that video comes out you may find it insightful. Me as well though FF all the way. I shot with the GH5s for awhile before the S1H and found too it's a easy switch.
@@DustinArmstrongPro Great many thanks and looking forward to your picture profile review!
@@NeilFarrimond I tried what you said and still can't get rid of the tick box... I will find a way. I will.
Hi Dustin,
Thanks for the honest review. Same here, I have the S1H and as a solo hybrid shooter and also coming from Sony and Canon, I really struggled with this camera. Am selling it.
Switching back to A9 (fast action sports and wildlife) + A7R4 (products, portrait, wildlife - no BIF) and now looking to replace the S1H with either A7S3 or R5 for video.
What about you, are you looking to switch?
Nice are you more of a photo shooter or video? I won't be switching, the R5 sounds way too unreliable for video, but depending on what the A7sIII is like once it is shown, I will most likely have both the S1H and A7sIII since I have Sony glass.
Hi Dustin,
I would say I am 70% stills and 30% video but in the coming 12mos I want to push to 50/50.
I love the colors on S1H the most but for my use cases, I really need to af to be fast. For studio work or where there isn’t much fast action or no run and gun work, then the S1H manual focus is fine.
Would like to see how you match the colors of S1H + A7S3 should you get this combo.
Got it was curious since you sounded like a stills guy.
Totally. I use the S1H in studio scenarios and it is fantastic for studio work.
Maybe will have to do a video on how to match colors on cameras.
so you really don't like it that much ?
@@ericsamuels6250 Don't like what that much?
Another superb video Dustin and despite the short falls of this beast I absolutely love this camera. It is an amazing piece of kit and watching your tutorials and advice video's simply makes it better. I did find the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art lens very quick on focus which suprised me as my other Sigma lenses were a bit slow. Oh and after trying out your LUTS I was more than happy with the results. Top man...! 😉👍👍👍👍
Thank you! And I agree. There's not a ton of short falls really. Mostly is autofocus and for someone who isn't used to good autofocus will be disappointed. I actually use the Sigma 35mm 1.4 in the shot where I'm talking! Some of the Sigmas have different motors for their AF so that's probably why you have a better experience with the 35mm. Glad that you have found them helpful!
@@DustinArmstrongPro So are you too saying that you noticed the AF is much better with Sigma 35mm?
I wouldn't say much better, but it feels slightly better. Like I said though, I only use it for talking heads. Even then may not use it
@@ericmyers1793 Out of the 2 Sigma lens I have, the 24-70 Art lens was definitely sluggish with the AF, but the 35mm Art lens was so so much quicker with the focus. Whether because it was a prime perhaps? But it was much more responsive and quicker..😎
Is there any possibility to activate the Monitor magnification while recording like on the a7s or a7 III ?
AF sucks so much on the S1H😂
Yes. If you map the magnification to a custom button on the Sonys, you can punch in while recording
@@DustinArmstrongPro I meant on the S1H. That would be great If there would be the possibility!
@@Colorblindvisuals I agree totally
Thanks for the review of things you don't like about the S1H. It's always helpful to hear comments from someone like yourself who has put time on a camera, and found things that are obstacles and annoyances. There is no "perfect" camera, so there is bound to be issues to know about.
At 09:55 you mention using the histogram for setting V-Log exposure. I much prefer using the waveform on my GH5, so I'm wondering if the waveform wasn't available when you did this review.
Hi thanx for this great Video which help me alot in deciding on this camera, I have one question regarding AF, I am planing to use this camera for my RUclips channel and was wondering if AF is good enough for head-shoot talking to camera ? does it hunt in this mood ? the clip in your video when you talking about auto focus did you use S1H for that? I will be operating as one man when doing these shoot so I would like to take your advice on this, I don't mind using manual focus for run and gun but for youtube I have no choice other than continuous AF with face detect so is it relabel in that mode ?
No problem🙏. So I do use C-AF when I'm talking, but if you're going to be moving around a lot, it doesn't do great. If you aren't moving a lot though and remain fairly still, it does alright. Sometimes will lose focus for a second but will come back. The S1H should be getting a firmware update that will improve this as well and be like the Panasonic S5 which I've heard is better (still not amazing keep in mind). Hope this helps👍
@@DustinArmstrongPro thanx alot really helps
I'm glad! You'll also have better results with Panasonic lenses. I use Sigma BTW
@@DustinArmstrongPro thanx thats really help really appreciate it
Thanks for the informative video. I had a few questions, if you have a moment: 1) What bit/khz does the S1H record audio? is there any way to control audio sample rate or freq? 2) SD cards... the Sony Tough are the cards that gave you the corrupt file? A non-pro card reader has given me corrupt files in the past. Also, my first tripod was a Promaster :) 3) in the shot of your sigma lenses, are those step rings at the end of them? Thanks!
You're welcome! Honestly I'm not sure. I'll have to check. And get back to you. Reply to this comment again after I reply so I remember. Yes the Sony Tough. They've said it's fixed now, but people are still having problems with other brands. Haven't had a problem with promaster. Yes those are step up rings from polar pro so I only have to use a 82mm VND
@@DustinArmstrongPro Thanks for the reply! I hope that it is indeed fixed, as I purchased 3 of the 128GB Sony Tough ahead of a shoot before watching your video... I'll have to test them. Cheers!
@@DustinArmstrongPro also, have you used the S Pro 24-70mm? I can't believe this AF on/off feature on the focus ring, it seems cheap and I can hear it sliding. Bizarre design choice over a simple switch.
I answer all my comments👍Hope everything goes okay. I have made a whole video about the 24-70mm S PRO you can watch
Just shot with my s1h today for the FIRST time with a new Sony Touch card and file was corrupt. The Firmware was only 1.1 vs 2.1, not sure if that matters. Anyone have any luck on 1) saving those files and 2) is my s1h a very expensive paper weight? I cannot, CANNOT afford to have it just randomly corrupt a file
I'm loving my S1H. Still getting used to it, but no regrets so far. I have been very happy with the lenses available. I have 4. Two Panasonic lenses and two Sigma. My favourite for photography is the Panasonic 70-200 f/2.8 IS. For video I generally prefer the stabilised Panasonic 24-105 f/4 kit lens or the Sigma 35mm f/1.2 for that 'look' and low light situations. I also have the Sigma 14-24 f/2.8 which is nice for astro photography.
Takes time it is packed with features. All great lenses!
Has the S1H given you any problems recording in 6k internal with SDCX cards?
@@lapinchetele yes, every time!!! The over-sampled 4k is so good I have just used that instead. But, the few times that I had something important and wanted 6k, I had card write issues resulting in corrupt files I was unable to recover. So much for being important, those shots were lost.
@@danielshepherd7306 And in 4k DCI the cards have worked well for you?
@@lapinchetele I have various cards and none have given me any issues with 4k.
Regarding exposure, why don’t you use your amazing waveform to check for clipping?
I have the same complaint with the waveform monitor that I forgot to mention. It's difficult to see and takes up quite a bit of the screen screen. Easy to toggle in a more studio environment, but run and gun shooting not ideal
The S1H Autofcus for video is great when you have a 24-70 S Pro Lens and set it to tracking with the settings maxed out . I use Sony as well . I may make a video on this
I may have read your mind already. The next video or the one after that is going to be a review of the 24-70 S PRO
What are your settings with the pro Lens?
Has the S1H given you any problems recording in 6k internal with SDCX cards?
@@lapinchetele not once
@@ChimeraVisuals Thaks
Here's a strange one...so when you are using an external monitor and you close the LCD screen, the exposure meter completely changes from numbers to slash lines with teeny numbers, I have no idea what this is about. I actually use the exposure meter as opposed to the histogram I noticed they are identical when nailing exposure, your thoughts on this strange thing? Thanks Dustin!
I don't use an external monitor a ton so I haven't run into it. I use exposure meter too. I've started using zebras more. I don't love it, but it works better than looking at histogram. Waveform is ideal, but only works for more studio situations since it's tough to read at quick glance if there's movement
Do you think that auto-focus will change the way of the old industry?
I'm very comfortable with manual focus, but setting up motors, gears or just do the work takes his toll on my concentration, figured this out since the A7III as I got some AF lenses
I think it'll always have its place. Especially in bigger type of productions because cinema glass its impossible to use autofocus. It'll be a long time before it starts to be used on those kinds of productions.
I'm actually thinking of gaffer taping the shutter wheel down ;D
Actually not a bad idea😂😂
I legit do that! Lol
@@johnnycrazy23 Haha yeah, works just fine!
I've been manual focusing for over 30 years myself. Auto focus is a great option for gimbals/steadicam rigs.
Yep shouldn't be a game breaker, but man is it convenient when your hands are full doing other things on a shoot, like operating gimbals/steadicams by yourself
@@DustinArmstrongPro Yea one man crew is tough for sure. Glad i have more then 30 cam ops especially for large mgm events in the arenas.
@@tonycapil1022 I honestly thrive in one man band type of shoots and I get hired for that reason a lot, but they are so much work😂😂😂
@@DustinArmstrongPro I know the feeling as I use to do the same years ago. I feel your pain brother. I wish you the best!
@@tonycapil1022 You as well!
Has the S1H given you any problems recording in 6k internal with SDCX cards?
None
anyone use the sandisk 300mbps v90 sd cards w the s1h? recently bought 2 to use w my a73.
considering getting an s1h/bs1h or sony fx3. seems sony has better lowlight but panny has better image quality. i own decent lights now so that's less of an issue. having to drop $500 for 2 more sd cards from a diff brand would be whack thoe.
never use autofocus, never shoot handheld any more. tripod/98wh cage/ninja v style shooting. so leaning panny
also idk id the fan noise on the fx3 or s1h/bs1h is too loud for shooting indoors in small spaces (use a boomed mkh416, typically 3 ft from lights n camera). everyone says the black magic 6k pro and g2 have fans too loud for small spaces if u dont use lavs
how did you grade the footage at 3:30?? i love this grade!
Pretty sure that's actually straight out of camera in the natural profile, but I could of put a lut on there I created.
Agreed ! And you could add the weight of the beast. When you add panasonic lens or sigma art + ninja V it’s getting really heavy for run and guning all day long. But I love this camera. Have you checked the new Leica SL2-S? Might be interestering to compare both...
An easy way to get rid of the histogram deal is to check it on your external monitor (I’m sure you have one now :))))
I’ll have to look into comparing them! I have one but still like shooting without one haha. Thanks for watching🙏
Funny enough, after all these times now I'm looking into this camera. All my lenses are M42 and M lenses with film camera, then I have jumped to Fujifilm for digital. After 7 years, I have decided to jump into FF camera, look pasted Canon R5, Nikon Z7 II and have made my decision for Leica SL2-S. But recently I look into this S1H, it ticks all my boxes. I dont do AF so I dont have the main problem and if I do video recording while traveling it will be most likely in infinity or just street capturing. So what beat the S1 and SL2-S or even SL2 for me? Well I can do multi shot on S1H too and the flap screen that Leica doesn't have (same for S1), it also comes with the same level of EVF and the top LCD. Yes it is bigger and heavier, but my lenses are so tiny and the price point its not going to be more expensive than a Leica. I think I'm the smallest group of people that benefit to have the S1H. Not to mention L mount will be very mature in a few years time.
Thanks again Dustin you make awesome videos here
Appreciate the support. I actually had someone mention this. The S1H is almost the same camera as the SL2 S I believe? But not as expensive even from a photo perspective
@@DustinArmstrongPro I have previously owned a Panasonic just for video recording and keep camera separate. Im going to buy a camera soon and base on everyone opinions (so I look around), Sensor-wise the SL2-S is using BSI-CMOS，S1H does dual native ISO so there is hard to compare for hobbyist like me anyway. Currently SL2-S is around $400 dollars more expensive than S1H but after tax the price differences would be over $1200. I see it is unfair to compare the software as one mainly is for video and the other one is for photo. The brand name and build quality is another thing hard to beat the SL2-S, as I believe since there is ventilation in S1H, highly likely S1H wont work under -10 for too long, but someone have done a test that the S1H can withstand short period of heavy rain.
Back to square one, the flip screen allow me to take photo at waist level, plus I can expand the video capability on the S1H when I want to learn some new things from you all.
Dustin, what do you shoot for VFR?...when I shoot VFR 4096x2160 in Vlog there is lots of grain even with lots of light added, and even some grain outdoors. Are grading the 8-bit footage differently? I should have just kept my GH5s!...Sorry for all of the comments/questions. Thanks!
Personally, I only use VFR when I need an uncommon frame rate. Do you have the latest firmware? And you can also try recording in a different PP that could help
@@DustinArmstrongPro What do you use when your shooting slo motion? Yes, have the latest firmware. Thanks for your help!
@@DustinArmstrongPro Sorry I'm not sure what you mean "uncommon frame rate"?...VFR is slow motion, what am I missing here? Thanks for the help!
So I go to the REC quality list and choose a codec at 48fps, 60fps, or 120fps. I guess uncommon isn't the right word, rather more common framerates offered on mirrorless cameras. VFR let's you choose between a ton of different frame rates
@@DustinArmstrongPro Sorry to keep going over the same question but, I'm completely lost...to shoot slow motion you have to go to the menu and choose a rec quality that has the "VFR" option available only, isn't that correct?
hey, since making this video Panasonic had updated their firmware for better AF, how has it changed in your mind? Noticeably better?
Funny you ask actually, I'm literally working on the video where I'm comparing the video pre-autofocus firmware update and post firmware update. That video should be released soon so you can see my opinion there!
Hello the test for photos has been done?
10:26 would rather recommend using the Waveform and 95% zebra to avoid any clipping. :)
And V-Log is quite forgiving with overexposure anyway.
I have the same complaint with the waveform monitor. Easier in a more studio environment, but run and gun solo stuff harder for me. And it takes up quite a bit of the screen. I should just try getting over zebras though I admit
I just set my waveforms to a custom button. Easy on off to get it out of the way. Works a treat. Never even used the histo since the gh5 came out 🤷♂️
@@Millistration I meant to mention that I have the same complaint with the waveform monitor hard to read on the fly. I also have my waveform monitor set to a custom button, but for what I shoot most of the time on my S1H, waveform isn't practical.
Yeah I have similar things to say about my panasonic g85, but I still love it.
Yep still love it as well. All cameras have their annoyances.
Autofocus for photo is actually pretty snappy, but you have to make sure your settings are right as the contrast based auto detect needs to know what's what.
Yes I've heard and I think I mentioned that (can't remember). I've only used the photo mode for personal use but plan to try it out more in depth as a video shooter
One thing I wish I knew before purchasing mine is that when shooting in 60FPS it will crop to super 35 mode. Unless there is something I am missing! I shoot mostly real estate, so an ultra wide lens is a must. I thought that my 16-35 would be good enough, but with the 1.5x crop, it's looking like I'm going to need to purchase something even wider now.
I knew that one going in, but yeah it is kind of annoying. Look into the Laowa l mount lenses just announced. They have some wide options like a 9mm 2.8 so you could get a pretty wide angle with that with the crop.
@@DustinArmstrongPro Good call thanks a lot man!
No problem
one quick question, hope you can help.Let's say i'm shooting video and use vlog, I switch to photo and the vlog stays on photo as well, why does it keep vlog when I go to photo? I have changed it so many times and it keeps going to vlog, I do this on my s1 and I don't have that problem. I asked Panasonic support but they never reply. hope you can help. Thanks.
Can you change from vlog in photo mode?
@@DustinArmstrongPro yes I can change it back I just go to settings. It is just annoying that the camera doesn't retain photo and video settings separately as my S1 does. I'm just sending the camera back, good thing I can still return it w/minor fees. Panasonic is the worst in customer service as well, LOL.
Love the content mate! About the punch in on manual focus, it should be sitting under the name of MF Assist. On the GH5 it's under operation in the menu system, not sure where it'll sit under the S1H, but look out for MF Assist :)
Thank you! Unfortunately MF Assist is not it. All of my MF Assist settings are off. Must be different on the S1H. I'm talking about just getting rid of the tick box all together. I've already disabled the punch in when you manual focus.
@@DustinArmstrongPro Well that's a real bummer, yeah I think that tick box is possible a permanent feature then.
Yep. Quite annoying
Most of the stuff you said have workarounds that are super ok. So I think that you should make this vide about who should buy this camera.. For example people who are dop or run n gun documentary filmakers or people who film extreme sports out in the wild. Definately not a camera to use for RUclips just because its 10bit or 6k...
Totally. They are more inconveniences and annoyances not so much deal breakers. The autofocus is the biggest deal breaker for most.
I actually have a video planned about that topic. May be a minute because I have a ton more videos planned ahead of that one, but definitely will get to it. Oh no. If your sole use of it was for making RUclips videos, I wouldn't recommend.
Off the subject a bit... have you (or anyone) experienced banding while filming bright blue skies in VLog? I can't seem to get clean video in VLog, tried adjusting SS and ISO to no avail. Anything else without a full sky in the shot looks fantastic. Just joined your channel, very nice.
Hmmmmmm I haven't noticed/experienced it no. Wish I could help more. Welcome to the channel!
@@DustinArmstrongPro Just did a test and set noise reduction to -1, seems to have helped.
This is actually a good point I will cover in a future video briefly. Also finding a good way to convert your footage to REC709 or REC2020 whatever you're finalizing your video for can help improve the final look
@@DustinArmstrongPro Definitely helped with -1. But still present. When I recorded to my Ninja V it was less noticeable. Captured in AVID codec. I edit in AVID MC as well. Still a bit concerned as to why this "banding" (pixelation) is so prominent in a clear blue or cloudy skies. Otherwise I've been very happy with the VLog and even the Natural profile which looks great out of the box properly exposed. I've been capturing Log 1-2 stops over and able to bring shadows up nicely without clipping high's.
Thanks for following up. Me as well. Quite happy with V-LOG
I agree 100% with you!
But it's still a beast of a camera!
Glad I'm not the only one hahaha
Well, for me who is not a experienced focus puller single operator, i would rather have focus than a better picture. Yes it may be a better picture, but if it is hunting or off focus it is a ruined clip. I will stick with Canon, i love the soft pull it has. You can rely on it to move from a close object to a far object in a pleasing manner. Makes run and gun work quick.
I agree and understand. But you never know. You may enjoy using manual sometimes once you get better at it
@@DustinArmstrongPro yeah i do use manual for certain shots, but only when i have time. I do club car videos, so need to fit into the format of the run and i know a camera with bad focus would take me a lot more time. I love to throw the camera on the gimbal, hit record and pretty much my EOS R does the trick and i just walk around. Pretty easy to use. I agree manual focus can get some better shots. But it takes me longer currently.
Totally get it. I as well need to have a camera with good autofocus in those scenarios
OMG Dustin I hate that MF tick box too, been trying to figure that out to get rid of it! Have you ever tried to reach out to Panasonic support about that or anything? They are by far the worst support of any company I have ever purchased from, so frustrating, they have no answers for anything!
I haven't reached out. I usually don't for most things unless it's a warranty issue though haha
i just bought the s1h when i got it out of box and i shake it it sounds like something is loose does your s1h do the same?
That could just be the IBIS or possible you'll have to do a warranty replacement.
@@DustinArmstrongPro someone on the facebook group said it might be the IBIS ...thanks i feel like i have to go to a camera store and check if another one sounds the same
Hope it is just the IBIS. Mine does do that a bit though so I'd say it's the IBIS, but I'd still check it out just in case
I used the angelbird V90 SD cards, 250GB and it started having problems. When I was in the middle of a shoot it kept saying writing speed not fast enough and it would get corrupted. But I think it was the SD card, there were other ppl who experienced the same thing with angelbird. So I bought the Sony tough and it’s been working fine, but every once in a while there is a recorded clip that it doesn’t allow me to open it or even drag it to premier pro. Maybe it’s corrupted but not sure 🤷🏻♂️
All on the S1H
Yep. The first few months I had the camera that was the hot topic. That and the autofocus. I'm fairly certain that it is corrupted. That's exactly what my file does (I still have it on my desktop and trying to repair it for months) I'd recommend switching cards if you are able. Would really suck to get one of those files on a very important shot. Haven't had it happen once with the ProMasters. I think there is a card formatting utility as well that may solve that problem on some cards.
Dustin Armstrong cool, I will check out the promasters then. Thanks!
Sounds good 👍
Looks like the R 5 for me, one of the 4K 30 modes on the R5 is not affected by heat.
I'll definitely be putting the R5 to the test against the S1H and A7sIII
@@DustinArmstrongPro Looking forward to seeing this.
@@capacityJEM me as well!
only in low quality pixel binning modes the R5 doesn't overheat that quickly.
Use the Waveform Monitor instead the Histogram. It's far more easy to use for good exposure.
I have the same complaint about the waveform monitor in the S1H that I meant to talk about
If only this camera had good autofocus! I have an a7iii and bmpcc4k and I need the video quality of one with the Af of the other! Help!
Shoot no higher than 120fps and only in Natural profile. Low light looks fantastic
Good to know this. I'm planning on doing a low light test video in the different profiles very soon
I use focus peaking constantly. Seems like on the S1H, it's often not there or the traces are too faint to see in a bright environment --especially while punched-in with the magnification feature. I don't remember having as much trouble seeing it on my old GH4.
Have you turned up the sensitivity and are using a pronounced color?
Dustin Armstrong Yes, I’ve experimented with the sensitivity. let me be clear: most of the time I don’t have this issue. But there definitely are times when it is. Which setting do you use? And if you change sensitivity settings, when do you use which? It seems like there are situations when each is most appropriate. Maybe this could get shoe-horned into a future video, along with the Dual ISO Sensitivity settings, which I don’t understand at all.
@@graymatters7584 I use sensitivity set to +1 and the color as light blue. The Dual ISO, if you're in V-LOG, when it's on low it'll be on the low native ISO switch which is 640-5000. You should try to keep your ISO though at the native ISO which is 640. When you switch it to high, it'll go to the higher native ISO switch which is 4,000-51,200, and same thing, should try to stay at the native ISO of 4,000. Or you can set it to auto and it'll automatically switch between the lower native ISO set when you're below 4,000 ISO, but once you go to 4,000 it automatically switches. Hopefully that helps.
@@DustinArmstrongPro It does, thanks. And it simultaneously proves why making a video on it is a good idea. ;-)
I'll probably throw it in a video soon then👊
Excellemt dustin 💪💪💪
You are excellent
The Prores raw signal is pretty noise even you set to ISO 4000.
Haven't worked with ProRes RAW but that is good to know!
For the manuell fokus box. Use Autofokus and AF-Lock than manuell fokus override 😊
I will try this and if it works I will love you forever
@@DustinArmstrongPro Does this work?
I have a cinema lens on my s1h so autofocus cant be enabled at all🥺
This is good info. Thanks for posting!
No problem. Thank you for the support!
Autofocus is a great thing to have. Never personally had a camera that had it and found myself a better filmmaker because of years of racking focus manually. S1H autofocus no matter firmware will never be great as the sensor is only equipped with contrast-detect points which while acceptable on stills is not cut it. Phase detect is what makes sony, nikon and other cameras sensors have reliable autofocus. But the reason panasonics cameras have been industry leading on color science/sensor/price is that you sacrifice pixel and image quality with the inclusion of more detection points for autofocus in the sensor.
Yep. Knowing how to manually focus makes you more versatile is how I'd put it. The reason I brought up the autofocus is people say it's really good, but it's not. I don't mind that it's not since I have years of experience as well shooting manual, but wouldn't want someone to buy thinking the autofocus was good then return it or sell it. But yes Panasonics image is 👀
@@DustinArmstrongPro deciding right now between S1h or Sony A7S3 is tough. Both have clear advantages and both are amazing cameras. Thank you for the video as I am a Panasonic loyalist at heart and really want reasons to buy the S1H lol.
Well once I get mine, I'll be making content around both the S1H and A7sIII so hopefully that'll help! Haha. No problem👍 thank you for the support. Don't watch my channel or else you'll end up finding reasons to buy it😂😂😂
@@DustinArmstrongPro just subbed guess I am doomed lol. Great stuff look forward to seeing more! 🔥🔥🤘
I am sorry I have done this to you😂😂😂😂😂. Already have filmed 2 just need to find some time to edit them
checked out when you said you use a histogram for exposure instead of the waveform
Yeah sure it's more for photos even if you shoot stills, something to watch out for. I have the same complaint with the waveform monitor on the S1H. For what I shoot, hard to tell where I'm at taking a quick glance since I'm typically not in a studio and don't have time to pull in a color checker. It also takes up a ton of the viewfinder even at its smallest setting. I said I didn't use zebras in this video but have started using and just dealing with it. I use waveform monitor when I am able to
@@DustinArmstrongPro Just giving you a hard time. I use the S1H as well and agree the waveform is hard to see unless you make it large and overlay it on the image. Agreed that zebras help a lot.
Sarcasm is hard to read😂 if I see your name in the future I'll assume you're giving me a hard time. But yeah my thoughts exactly. Wish they'd make it easier to read. I'd use a external monitor but they're just so much work and so heavy
I thought to get one,the S1 and heard about the AF issues,and i cannot just 'get around it'...not for that amount of money..
Yeah some people need the autofocus
@@DustinArmstrongPro I was going to get one because I spin music live,and wanted to record mixtape sessions and live streams,events..They are built like cobblestones though,and when i picked one up to check it out,it felt like i could hammer in nails with it..I love great study construction,and I use the Pentax K1Mk2..I never even tried the video on it.I wanted a solid DSLR first,then a hybrid..
@@michaels8597 Nice! Yeah it was kind of one of the first cameras I held where I was like dang this thing I feel like could take a beating. It's a great hybrid too. Hope to do a video on the photo side of it in the future.
@@DustinArmstrongPro From what Understand,the AF issue is in the hardware,both in the body and native glass.So that leaves much to be desired trying to fix it with firmware.The only thing I can think of,is for Panasonic to address the issue,and offer a free upgrade,or something inexpensive,like Pentax did with the K1.Now if they had taken a page from Sony or had them work the AF For them,while in production,the Panasonic would put everyone on smash.So imagine the S1 with the AF of a Sony A9ii...THAT would change the whole game..Olympus should have partnered with Panasonic too..
Yep I totally agree. Would be a game changer
Hi Dustin, for sports the Lumix AF is not reliable enough in video. Agree. But after firmware updates, and know how to tweak the AF settings for your needs, it's not bad at all. In fact I used the S5 (in many way's similar to the S1H) as a B-cam. In my experience it is that good that I started to use it as an A-cam for some projects. Have a look, all on AF not a shot missed: ruclips.net/video/qax2G8TKn9g/видео.html
Yeah, ALSTON EF-L lens adapter works much better,on Leica SL typ601 Panasonic S1h cameres
Good to know!
That's why I've chosen S1 for half a price of s1h. I'd not pay so much money for s1h for a camera with no AF and cropping 4k slowmo, it's good but not worth it's price s1h actually.
The S1H is great if you are looking for a full frame photography and videography camera. the S1H is not good for a videography camera as a solo opperator or in multi camera shooting.
Hmmmmm that's interesting because I use it all the time as a solo operator and multi camera shoots and it's great. Maybe just depends how comfortable you are shooting solo?
5:20 Tool → AF → MF Assist → MF Assist Display → Change from "PIP" to "FULL"
I have it set to that and it's still there. Even at the recording of this video it was set there
I use the waveform monitor and go up to 80ire for the highlights. It all depends on the scene of course. If there are no highlights, I keep the exposure at the middle around 50ire. But I concur with ur conclusions. What annoys me the most, is the slow motion being cropped and having 4.2.0. I wonder if there will be a fw update that will fix this (if this sensor allows it). Look at the new Canon R6 and all the modes it can do (without a fan) ... I will try and get rid of the box in manual focus. I'll keep you posted.
I actually forgot to mention the waveform. It's another exposure to I find hard to read on the S1H when comparing to other waveform monitors I use even budget external monitors (video coming soon). True the problem with the R6 is the over heating and coming from the A7III that would overheat using 4k for longer periods of time, I am done dealing with that haha. Please do!
@@DustinArmstrongPro No R6 for me! That's for sure. Mentioned it only to show that the S1H could probably also be able to shoot 4K on higher frame rates that is not cropped with 422. I did not find a way to disable that annoying focus box btw. You will do video about the waveform monitor? Great idea! Could you include typical scenes to show by how much you would expose them please? That might be a great topic, especially when using v-log. I still struggle with darker scenes (in the woods or inside for example). I saw in another video that the standard or 709like color profiles are very good at denoising in-camera. Other people say that cinelike D is the option to go with (instead of v-log) when shooting darker scenes. Maybe you have more precise insight in regard to this matter. I read in an article that v-log is still a pain for many filmmakers. So maybe just choose v-log when bigger dynamic range is really required. Cheers!
Oh got it! I've briefly covered the waveform monitor in one of my previous videos, but are you just wondering if I'll cover a waveform monitor in general or specifically on the S1H? I'm actually literally writing the script currently on what low light picture profile is best on the S1H haha so it's going to be a fun one. Stay tuned! You are correct though V-LOG is really only needed when you need that extra dynamic range.
@@DustinArmstrongPro Cool! It's a really important and interesting topic, filming in low light. I am looking forward to it! No no, not a S1H waveform video :) Maybe just showing how to expose low light via the wfm. Specially the midtones. It all depends on the lighting of course. But very often you have to deal with the practical light. Like typical run and gun situations, filming in a city in the evening or inside a café. I'll stay tuned!
Oh got it got it. I can cover that as well in that video too👍
my background is the same as yours in filmmaking that is
Good ol broadcasting. Glad to not be there anymore haha
@@DustinArmstrongPro yes same and I stared off with the same camera as you the only thing that might stop me from getting the S1H is lack of autofocus and lack of lens and the weight. but it still really like what this camera offers.
The image is what sells it for me mostly👀
I don’t understand. Professionals using reds and alexas never autofocus. I take pride in using manual all the way 🤷🏾♂️. Autofocus for me is only needed in gimbals
It's all just convenience. But will probably never be the standard in a professional environment and makes sense why it won't. For solo shooting autofocus is convenient for me but not necessary
The biggest reason I say it'll never be the standard is because if it did, every single cinema lens and anamorphic lens would become obsolete since they don't have the ability to use autofocus. It may have cases where they use a RED Komodo etc for it's autofocus but I doubt it'll ever replace manual.
Separates Videographers from Filmmakers
We use gimbals at every shoot so Autofocus is a must on a camera for most people. There is no reason why a camera manufacturer should leave it out; the technology is here just put in it. Let the camera operator choose to use it or not.
@@moltenpros I use my S1H on a gimbal with a focus motor in manual so I wouldn't say it's essiential to have AF it just makes your life much easier when you're running and gunning.
AF is not good, but on panasonic groups everyone will jump at your saying "Its the best ever". Same at canon groups saying "dynamic range doesnt matter" or sony groups saying "10bit doesnt matter" and so on. Brand/model based groups are terrible and full of fanboys that cant see cameras without bias.
Panasonic S1H worst things IMO: Lots of buyers reporting corrupted video files (-> regardless of what brand/model of sd card they use
You make a good point. Honestly I don't think Panasonic fanboys are as bad and Canon fanboys haha. Surprisingly I'm not on any Sony groups, but probably should be.
Yeah the corrupted files thing is pretty bad, but like I've said, they aren't using fast enough cards a lot of the times. Since I only had 1 file get corrupt, that's why it was lower on the list. There is a setting where if you half press the shutter it'll start recording I think. I turn it off since it makes the button mega sensitive. The gimbal one I didn't know about since I don't connect my S1H to the Ronin. Good info. Thanks!
@@DustinArmstrongPro according to a pool on the panasonic groups. people had corrupted videos from cards from all major brands, from sony, to sandisk and panasonic cards themselves.
@@cbflazaro Was ProGrade or ProMaster on that list? And did they list the speed of cards they were using etc?
It’s been confirmed it wasn’t a camera issue it was with the SD cards. Sony even recently did a recall on their cards. I went with Prograde cards and have had zero issues.
@@23StephenE Still would want to know about that issue if I was buying again. People have had issues with other brands as well. SanDisk, Angelbird, etc but I don't know what speeds they were using. Thank you for confirming about the ProGrades though👍
Phase detection needs phase sensors. Canon is "dual pixel", Sony is something. Panasonic sensor doesn't have those phase sensors.
I don’t understand why Panasonic is holding on unto contrast based autofocus. Everyone, really everyone says the AF system sucks, but Panasonic thinks otherwise. Strange.
Yeah I couldn't tell you why they still use it
From prev comments i gather you lose some pixels by having the 'phase' stuff in the sensor? Theres an image quality tradeoff ?
Great work btw...
s1h is not camera meant to be used with gimbal though, always something missing ;D
Why isn't it meant to be used on gimbal? I do it all the time! Haha
@@DustinArmstrongPro thats what i saw on another video he claims he is expert ;D
Oh gotcha😂 I'm definitely not an expert, but you can definitely use it on a gimbal😂
@@DustinArmstrongPro looking to upgrade from a6000 was going throught s1h vs r5. I need to play with s1h ;D
Both are great options. I may wait until Tuesday as well because they are announcing the A7sIII. I will do a spec comparison video of all 3 S1H, A7sIII and R5 when we know what the A7sIII specs are. I will also do a real world test of all 3 side by side once I have them. So stay tuned for that! Would actually loved if you subscribed we need more women around here😂
The SONY Tough Cards were recalled recently for this very problem. File corruption. Supposedly it is fixed now. Ironically, on paper the SONY tough cards are supposed to be the best cards for it. And lol Oh god you're one of *those* ....4:2:2 4k on a Bayer sensor? 4:2:2 is just a color subsampling value. Shoot a 6k format that records 4:2:0 and can down-sample the 6k to 4k and get a 4:4:4 sample. It won't affect the bit-depth any, but doing that would certainly help with grading and chroma key work. You realize that's why it's a NETFLIX approved Camera? Of course you do, your broadcast background.
There's a point where the reductive reasoning that states that a bayer signal is "4:2:2" has no real world practical application since there are so many mitigating factors that affect quality, from the actual sensor being used, to the quality of the raw signal, its bit-depth, its compression scheme, and even if recorded as 4:2:2, the particular recording codec used, even the weather. 4:2:2 isn't some universal standard of quality. It's to a point where it's like the old Spinal Tap talking about amps that go to 11. All the other amps only go to 10. 11 is one better, isn't it?
You worked in Broadcast and you're using the Histogram? Yikes! That's why it's hard to tell what the image is doing. Use the ugly parade and scopes dude. So the histogram is (I am pretty sure) used for photos. Which means Blacks will be zero and whites will be 1023. The reason is, even RUclips, is going to push those highlights, pull the blacks and push things around. Just use the broadcast standard for white on that color space and you'll be good. 235/940 is white for 8 to 10 bit. If you use the histogram I think it goes from 0 (which is not black but for photos the camera will think it's black) to white 1023, EVERYTHING above 940 is going to be clipped out bro. To me it sounds like you're running into a lot of user operation errors, because you are either unfamiliar with the camera or forgotten your broadcast ways.
It is ironic and still ironic because I know people who are still having problems with the new sony tough cards.
The reason I pointed that out, which is actually the point behind this video, was to inform people and help them to not get wrapped up in the marketing garble that newer users trying to get into a more cinema like camera without investing tens of thousands of dollars may not be aware of with this camera. I obviously fell short in getting that point across or maybe this content isn't for you? I also made a whole video about the production guide from Netflix if you'd like to watch.
I'm definitely not an expert nor do I ever claim to be (I say I'm "your video tour guide" but that's more just a strategy on my channel to make myself more memorable on youtube) and you sound much smarter than me which is just fine. This camera doesn't have parade, it does have vector-scope and a waveform monitor, but I have the same complaint I have with histogram that I do with both of those tools on this camera. Obviously you'll have better luck using an external monitor with better scopes. For the type of things I shoot, most of the time I don't have the convenience of bringing in a color checker, or even gray card for that matter, so I find that I have to rely on tools to give me a decent image exposure wise, like the histogram, than other tools or just rely on what my eyes see and occasionally use zebras.
In regards to luminance level, I'd personally rather shoot at 0-1023 because if I bake in the broadcast standard in camera, your decreasing your dynamic range (unless it doesn't bake it in and just displays it on the viewfinder, but I'm pretty sure it bakes it in) and would rather squish that range into the standard in post. I'm open to discussion, but like I said, you sound much smarter than me, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing. It sounds to me your on the GH5 or GH5s? The S1H doesn't have the 235-940 in the luminance level setting. It's 64-940 by the way. Thanks for you comment🙏
keyboard go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Thank you my friend! I mean don't flatter me too much or it'll get to my head😂
Haha I know plenty that shoot video an dont have 1/10 the problems. Now I have to break it to you but ALL CAMERAS have problems. If 1 just 1 had evert thing right all company's would go out of business...because every one would only buy that camera. I did listen but when you did nothing but give you down grading rating of a $5ooo camera !!! How did any one else that gave review have any thing good to say???? An how did panasonic sell more than 3 of them. Enjoy
I'm glad they don't have problems with the camera. And I'm sorry, but you didn't listen nor understood the point of this video, which is kind of ironic because you just told me what the point was and that was to tell people that this camera is not perfect. This wasn't a review of the camera, it was for those who haven't bought the camera and want to know what, in my opinion, are its annoyances. And I stated it several times at how much I love this camera in this video, in fact if you watch basically any other video on this channel you'll see how much I love it. It has its drawbacks, but again no camera is perfect like you said. Even cameras that are 10, 20 50,000 dollars have downsides to them. The camera is also $4000 dollars so a much better buy than $5000. Thanks for your comment🙏
No debate. The AF is unusable
Pro's don't use autofocus !
Sony os dying !
I don't think using manual makes you a pro nor does using autofocus either. Plenty of "Pro's" use autofocus on the C200. It's just a tool that can be convenient for different people in different scenarios.
Why the fcuk would say you came from broadcasting that never uses auto-focus and now you complain about not having auto-focus because you used a Sony? Da fcuk?! Dat makes no fcukin sense.
The point of this video is to inform people about some of the things they may not like on the camera if they bought it. Some people it's important to have autofocus some people it's not. It's just a tool and even on my Sony would go over to manual when needed to get a certain look on a shoot. But it would be convenient to have better autofocus when needed.
bro, it's kind of anoying to see you read for the whole length of the video
I don't have the greatest solution as far as a teleprompter currently. One day when I can afford a better one hopefully that'll change
