Love your spin on things, you make the vids funny and smart and entertaining and informative all rolled into one . . . The S1H . . . Great camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I adore you and your videos. S1H user here, and you've helped me get to know my lovely camera. PS: I have this anxiety of falling with my camera and the tilt screen breaking. Good thing yours only took a minor scratch.
Well thank you and I adore you. I'm glad they've been helpful🙏 I'm super lucky it was only a minor scratch. I mean it's insured so it would have been fine, but still glad I didn't have to deal with that
Finally another video from Dustin Armstrong! I hate that lens release button in the front. Seriously, wish it was on the other side of the lens. Also, on the shutter angle wheel, you can swap it out with the aperture wheel at the front, that way you don’t accidentally change your shutter angle. It’s worked wonders for me after accidentally switching my angle. Hope that helps!
You better believe it🤙Omg. I've never accidentally pressed a lens lock button until this camera... I've actually considered switching it but I'm so used to it being that way I've neglected the switch 😂 maybe one day I'll decide to and just do it
i liked your vid.. ancient old pany.. i still use.. lets just say it made me teach myself how to photog,, a little my next cam,,, and i am leaning that way,,, might become a a new pana.. oh yeagh,,, my pana went swimming a bit in a river crossing,,, and i lucked out,, i opened up as much of the case as i could to air dry,,, with the batt. removed instantly when i hit dry land.. and it still works...a decade later
Thank you! That's crazy! I do love the build quality on the Panasonics for very rugged environments. Obviously it's not waterproof, but still shows how much of a beating they can take.
i guess i was wondering a little bit about lenses made by Tamron,, and sigma.. working with our world of mirrorless..in that world of Panasonic.. quality of construction versus cost. like the old saying of spending money on quality glass versus new Cam bodies
Hey Dustin, love your channel. Just got the S1H (sold my GH5s), OMG, I did NOT know about the flip screen, that is one that is really awesome. Thanks for the videos, look forward to more.
I wish you would offer a video series on best practices and settings on the S1H. Having upgraded from the GH4, this thing is so much more complicated when it comes to set-up and use. I tested V-log up at Grand Tetons and hated the look of that footage.
I will add it to my list of videos. How did you expose for V-LOG when you were shooting? I often shoot in natural for these youtube videos if you don't want to do much in post
@@DustinArmstrongPro When in V-log, the image often shows as a thinner belt in the center of the histogram. That's what I remember. I shot most of the rest of the footage in HLG, and it came out better than I could ever have hoped. The dynamic range shocked me in post. I'm selling those clips in a couple of places as stock. If there was a way to post stills from the video, I'd post it here. I was really pleased with that outing. Clearly this is an important camera - I just need to keep learning what I can do with it!
Maybe I'll have to make a video on converting HLG and VLOG. I've tried quite a few different ways and I could at least show what I do. That's awesome though! Some people like VLOG more and some people like HLG more really is just preference. Totally though absorb all you can here and else where!
Dude, turn on the Shutter synchro scan on, that way if you bump the shutter dial, it won't jump from like 180 to 120, it'll land on 179.9 first, etc.... It's saved me a bunch of times on run n gun shoots!
I’m sure if you set the camera fan to auto it would kick on regardless if you’re in video or not. That wouldn’t make sense to me that the camera could overheat in photos but not video
LOVE the S1H, but indeed, it's not perfect. AF is the main complaint, crop only for 4k/60fps, no RAW (yet..we got more Beta footage this week), and the shutter speed wheel is easy to turn accidentally. But the S1H hits a sweet spot for me as a film / night sky timelapse camera. Ergonomics + Menus are better than Sony, IMO... I also prefer Pana color. I'll be curious when somebody compares the EOS R5 vs Pana S1H
I agree with you on everything. That video of things I don't like about the S1H I have already filmed and will be releasing that soon. 100% though I prefer Pana color over Sony. I've been very happy with it even comparing it side by side to some of my RED Helium footage. Almost prefer it as well! Oh don't worry I have two videos planned for that matchup. First a spec comparison before I have them in my hands and hopefully very soon after the A7sIII is delivered, I will make an ultimate mirrorless comparison video of the R5, A7sIII, and S1H. Going to be a fun video.
Dustin, let your audience know about the ACES capabilities of this camera. In my opinion this is one of the most underestimated capabilities that elevates this camera into filmmaker's heaven (amongst many other features). No more worries about which LUT to use for transforming VLog into Rec709 with all those negative impacts on dynamic range, color fringing when further grading, etc. Since I came across ACES by incindent I use it all the time.
@@DustinArmstrongPro Hi Dustin, those LUTs you are referring too, is exactly what I am NOT talking about. I know those varicam LUTS, and I also downoladed those. Ultimately, ony the one called "Nicest Rec709" or similar, works with most of my footage. What I am talking about is quite different, not requiring any LUTs at all: You tell your editing SW in the project settings (in my case it's Davinci Resolve) to use the ACEScc color space to work internally with - instead of DavinciColorSpaceRGB or so. Then you need to tell DR which Camera the Log footage comes from and that in the end the export should be into Rec709 - also in the project settings. For the ACES Input Device Transform (IDT) you select the P35 Panasonic - and you are done. The IDT is, other than a LUT, a formula for DR how to deal with colors and Gamma - and, it works forward and backwards, i.e. lossless! So, when importing the footage from the S1H it gets immediately transformed into ACES color space which is the biggest of all spaces. And when you export it (viewing on your monitor or rendering) it gets translated into Rec709. Hope this helps / clarifies.
I haven't been super impressed with the Panasonic Luts and stopped using them a long time ago so I totally agree. Totally clarifies actually. I'm going to have to test this out I have a video planned talking about some of the luts I like, but would love to test this and use it for comparison. Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know! Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually providing something valuable for people or they just come for my dumb jokes...... and beard....😉😂 Thanks again!
I feel your pain about the magically changing shutter speed. It took me a couple of days to realize how my shutter was changing from 180 to 182 or 187.
Hey thanks for watching! Currently I don't have tips for Canon cameras, but I have some videos planned in the future that will involve some Canon cameras. Tips for making RUclips videos yes I have some of those planned as well. But thanks Kelsie! I'm happy you have enjoyed them 🙂 if you watch my videos and try to absorb as much as possible, you'll be YEARS ahead of people your age. More videos soon👍
This is a pretty awesome video minus the comment at the beginning. Subscribed and looking forward to more content. I'd love to buy this cam but 95% of my use is for photography and I have Canon lenses.
What didn't you like about the beginning? (Honesty is always welcome) Glad you enjoyed besides that👍. It's a great camera, but for sure if you're already in another system in can be hard to switch. This camera is a great photography camera and plan on making a video in the future about it.
@@DustinArmstrongPro the 'leading on' part was funny to start with but kind of spiralled off a bit too much. Maybe just a me thing… in hindsight it wasn't awful 😅 I look forward to one around the photography aspects of this camera!
Good feedback. I try not to spiral off too much because I don't want to waste people's time, but can't help it sometimes😂 look for that video hopefully soon
uh I had an accident with my S1H the first couple days I had it. I got a Weeble S and I thought the camera was mounted solidly to the gimbal. But the the Weeble is tricksie and the camera fell. I grabbed it before it hit the ground but the screen was extended and got bent in my desperate grab. It still works, but does't close as neatly as I would like. If you can suggest a reputable place who can replace the flippy-tilty screen, I would recommend it. I swear to god, the first month I have something nice is the month I am most likely to do something stupid and damage it.
I'd thumbs this down, but only because that sucks! I'm sorry! I'm sure Panasonic will fix it. I had problems with my sensor on one of my Sonys back in the day and just had to send it in to Sony to get fixed.
You can record C4k 10 bit 422 at 400 mbps per second V-LOG internally yes. It has a built in fan and ventilation so in theory you can record for 4 hours at the highest quality yes.
Hi Dustin ! I’m about to buy used S1H but i heard some people complain about the SD card issue when they upgrade to firmware 2.1 ! Do younyave any issue ? And what sd card you recommend for S1H ? Thank you
I don't have issues. I recommend ProMaster V90 128gb or less. I have a link to them in the description on Amazon or just search ProMaster V90 SD card on Amazon and you'll find them!
Dustin Armstrong thanks Dustin ! Just test out the S1H from the guy I gonna buy from its have problem with media, since his 3 sd cards ( v90 300mbs ) can’t record the all i 400mbs, also with 10 bit 422 200mbs its recorded but all the button frezze and not respond. Only 1 way to turn off is take off the battery ! So may be i will stick to buy another used S1
Dustin Armstrong also, what do you think about the images quality and color between these 3 codec 4k60p 8bit 420 VS 4k600 10bit 420 VS 1080p60 10bit 422 ? The 10bit 420 is only available in S5 but i would love you to rank the best quality & color between these 3 codec
Dustin, do you know how to see the WB value on S1H when we use a grey card (custom WB) because when I'm filming with two cameras I always have to use grey card on each camera.
Yes. Scroll past the 4 custom WB settings and you'll see k1, k2, k3, k4. You can custom set your WB values on all 4 of those as well as adjust the color. I have 5600 and 3200 on k1 and k2 since I probably use those values the most and I'll adjust manually as needed.
@@DustinArmstrongPro Thanks for the feedback, but I was talking about the WHITE SET CAPTURE from custom WB. After capturing from a WB card, it sets some WB Value; we don’t know which value it is, don’t know if is 5600 or 3200, I can’t see at info display, or top display... Was wondering if you know how to see the value of the captured WB card.
@@DustinArmstrongPro Yeah, really annoying! I already flooded the forums and even mailed Panasonic about that. No one answered me. rsrsrs, I really appreciate it Dustin for your help. Thanks a lot.
I can't tell you how many times I went to adjust the exposure and accidently shut the camera off! Is it just me? Love the camera, but it's infuriating!
I'm not sure I can come up with 10 😂 I'll think real hard about it and see, but I definitely think it would be an interesting video since my channel so far has been about how much I love it
Is this a fun fact or did I sa yit was made somewhere? I don't remember mentioning where it was made and honestly don't know where it's made anyways. But yes it's weather sealed and freeze resistant
I didn't know any of these things.
Including the dating advice?

oh yeagh,,, my pana went swimming a bit in a river crossing,,, and i lucked out,, i opened up as much of the case as i could to air dry,,, with the batt. removed instantly when i hit dry land..
and it still works...a decade later
Thank you! That's crazy! I do love the build quality on the Panasonics for very rugged environments. Obviously it's not waterproof, but still shows how much of a beating they can take.
Have you purchased stock lenses yet? I have heard that is still a bit of a issue at this,,point, unless you do the third party ,, with converters
I haven't. I don't think you get any better autofocus with adapter and third party?
i guess i was wondering a little bit about lenses made by Tamron,, and sigma.. working with our world of mirrorless..in that world of Panasonic..
quality of construction versus cost.
like the old saying of spending money on quality glass versus new Cam bodies
Good to have you back and the LA footage is stunning
Glad to be back🙃 and thanks! It turned out very stock footage looking haha. Which was kind of the purpose anyways
