Hey everyone Doug here with B&H and today is a special day we have the Panasonic
S1H this is brand new follow-up to the S1 in the S1R just a few months ago
this one is video centric this is I mean pretty much it is a still camera but
there's so much going on here with video and we're gonna get into it there's
stuff in here I haven't really seen on a video camera yet to be honest with you
at least at this price point we're here at Frames in Midtown and we
are here in the bar pool area we're gonna shoot a commercial why not right
and as you can see behind me we have some beautiful neon signs there's little
bits of ambient lighting everywhere we're gonna try as much as we can to
shoot just with the ambient lighting we do have a little bit of splash color
just to accentuate the walls we do have some light filling in the area but we're
trying to keep it minimal now this camera does go up to 6K so we're gonna
try to shoot some 6K some 4K some slow motion and you know just try to make as
nice of the commercial as possible we're just gonna try to run with it and see
what we can make with the Panasonic S1H
these things have the most satisfying snap known to man well we already have
the EF to L adapter so I'm just gonna pop on this 24-70 and let's see if it
works and this is something you got to see to believe if you go to record
quality you're gonna get tons of options there are seven pages of options believe
there is 42 of them in total but let's say you wanted 4K so we're gonna go 4K we'll
start with something not anamorphic but we'll do 16x9 so very common
that's probably what we're gonna shoot some of this video in and hit okay and now
you have only two pages of options so yeah much much cleaner easier to read
now the 6K on this camera as you can see 5952 viewed by 3968 it only goes up to
24 fps and that's important to know because this is pretty much the top spec
of the camera here so basically you have 42 options 42 ways that
you can shoot a commercial I'm gonna stick with the highest resolution I
possibly can let's begin boom we got our 6K image you can see this is the full
3:2 read out of the full-frame sensor you want to see this this is 3200
oh look at that came right up came right up hello gorgeous so we're gonna use
V-log for this the color profile this is the full version of V-log which is very
important because previously Panasonic hadn't really made V-log available to
their still cameras the S1 does have it now with the recent update but this
comes right out of the box with the full V-log this promises the 14 stops that
you would get on a Varricam and I believe there's already a preview LUT
activated on the camera which is why it doesn't look too flat here
I mean it looks pretty damn good to me
alright so we just did a camera move over to the opposite side get the wide
we're gonna do a little bit of a switcheroo here let's talk about the
item in question cue chalk unbranded cue chalk actually it is a brand there is a
brand here nobody needs to know it's not a real commercial there we go try to
maybe dim it a little it's just it's just a little hot
I always forget just how wide you can really go in full frame we're gonna
recompose this for 16x9 ironically enough you can treat this like super 35
which was famous for cropping in on those 2.35 action films so we get
kind of that same option here the shot is an ECU he's gonna walk up to
here and basically just grab this and then pull it out of frame camera should
be right here I'm gonna just balance the light a little bit cuz this is way too
hot for that one more time do it and then when you put it down walk to your
left yes walk off camera to your left alright
ready and action
perfect all right that's good let's do
basically from the back to where the ball would be what we're gonna basically
do is in post we're going to zoom in on this and track to the left as the shots
made and we can do it with extreme precision which is probably the best
part here because at 6K I mean we have a lot of resolution to work with so I
don't think it's gonna lose any image quality let me try to we'll try to
compromise it just move it as far back as you can for now
and then I'll move myself as well and action
there we go that's nice nice and smooth
Matt oh you're already he's already rolling look at this so unfortunately we
didn't account for the size of the lens against the plate here so can't really
attach to follow focus but we do have a working PL adapter here this is the
Sigma 135 t2 so this again offers full frame coverage which is obviously what
we want here and it looks pretty nice now to be honest I think we could get
even tighter for this kind of shot but we are working in 6K and so we can
punch in a lot I'm watching this preview and it's you know what I am gonna roll
in this because this is gorgeous sometimes shots just present themselves
you know I've got everything set here I want to get a nice little collision you
know it's watching the balls break up and I kind of want to try that in slow
motion but we have a number of options here so I'm gonna switch out of 6K go
to 4K first and try it in 60 6K doesn't go beyond 24 so we have to at
least go down at 4K at 1080 you can go up to 120 and that's with sound with
full recording at the native framerate if you want to go into what Panasonic
usually calls the VFR modes which are the variable framerate modes that needs
to be one 1080 it has no sound no autofocus and the rate has slowed down
for you so when you play it back it's already playing back at the playback
rate not the capture rate 4K is 60p now there is an 8-bit mode as well but we're
gonna do the 10 bit this is the highest quality 60p mode you can do on the
camera to my knowledge we're gonna hit OK on that this is still
10 bit it is 4:2:0 but you know we have and this is a super 35 crop actually
that's that's probably the biggest change here this is actually nice
because we get a bit of a tighter shot I'm gonna pull back actually so again we
are at t2 and we probably lost a little bit of light let's crank it up let's see
how high I can go I'm not gonna touch any of the lights by the way so the lights are
pretty much the same where they've been let's go take a look here I'm actually
gonna roll in this Matt come over here I'm gonna roll on this so that you can
see the change in the light so what you see now is 6400 right so let's go up
let's go 8000 10,000 12,800 let's try
that so I give us about a stop and action
we got one staying in the middle that's nice
all right one more lens change for the day this is the 50mm 1.4
this is the only native lens we're using today so this is relatively new for the
system came out with the S1 and S1R just a couple more shots left while
we're here we're going to do one more chalking yea shot just to have a second one alright
do it again one more time
action and hand it off give him a little nod yep walk
over all right we're rolling we're all right so you're talking you're talking
you're talking they were talking a little bit of this and that he grinds
the chalk you hear it it's got to be sudden come back go back go back talking
talking all right he's grinding it you're hearing it all right guys that's
perfect one more this go back give me something a little more a little more
like sudden yeah exactly he's exactly that's it all right drink you talking
grinding it come on no I wanted to be yeah I kind of like it harsh like that
all right all right everybody the setup for this technically is this is the
cheering after he makes that last shot we're gonna do a couple of positive
reactions so just keep going
rolling rolling rolling all right ready and action all right and that is a
wrap
thank you I deserve that everybody does everybody does alright
I will see you in post
