Nearly precisely a 12 months in the past, Panasonic launched a novel Micro 4 Thirds video digital camera with a box-style kind issue known as the Lumix DC-BGH1. Now the corporate has unveiled a brand new digital camera with an virtually equivalent physique however with an L mount and the identical 24-megapixel full-frame sensor discovered within the video-centric S1H.
The Lumix DC-BS1H boasts precisely the identical video options provided by the S1H: 10-bit 6K/24p in a 3:2 ratio, 10-bit or 12-bit RAW 5.9K/30p in 16:9, and 10-bit 4K/60p. Just like the BGH1 box-style digital camera, there aren’t any screens, so the digital camera needs to be hooked as much as a monitor by way of the full-size HDMI (4K or 5.9K RAW) or SDI (1080p) connectors. The digital camera can output 12-bit RAW video over HDMI to the Atomos Ninja V (Apple ProRes RAW) or to the Blackmagic Video Help 12G HDR (Blackmagic RAW).
The physique options varied customizable buttons and the digital camera’s menus will be managed by way of a smartphone app or pc. The BS1H additionally options twin UHS-II SD card slots and accepts Panasonic’s professional camcorder batteries (capacities as much as 11,800 mAh). There’s additionally a fan on board to maintain the digital camera cool, making certain limitless recording.
Accessible from November, the BS1H can have an MSRP of $3500. Like its Micro 4 Thirds counterpart, we’ll have to attend and see if any underwater housing producers think about supporting the digital camera.

PRESS RELEASE
Panasonic Pronounces the LUMIX BS1H Full-Body Field-Fashion Mirrorless Reside and Cinema Digital camera That includes A Compact Physique with 6K 24p / 5.9K 30p 10-bit Limitless Video Recording Functionality
Newark, NJ (October 7, 2021) – Panasonic is proud to announce the discharge of the brand new full-frame box-style LUMIX Digital Single Lens Mirrorless Digital camera, the DC-BS1H. As its title suggests, the LUMIX BS1H is a flexible box-style digital camera that mixes the cinema-quality video efficiency of the LUMIX S1H with an easy-to-deploy box-style profile. The LUMIX BS1H accommodates a 24-megapixel full-frame sensor with Twin Native ISO know-how and contains options comparable to 6K full-area excessive decision recording, spectacular bokeh, glorious low-light efficiency, broad dynamic vary of 14+ stops, V-Log and extra.
The excessive connectivity and mobility of the BS1H allow customers to flexibly use the digital camera to create their ultimate digital camera system in keeping with the situation. As well as, consistency amongst their photos minimizes post-production processing when used alongside different Panasonic LUMIX manufacturing cameras such because the BGH1 or the S1H.
1. Cinema manufacturing high quality video with 35mm full-frame sensor
The BS1H accommodates a 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor (35.6 mm x 23.8mm) that captures 6K decision. With an lively decision of 6,024 x 4,016, the BS1H delivers roughly 24.2 million photosites. Adoption of an OLPF (Optical Low Go Filter) suppresses moire and false coloration. The picture sensor with Twin Native ISO within the BS1H minimizes noise technology by selecting an optimum circuit to make use of in keeping with the sensitivity earlier than achieve processing. Together with optimum sign processing by the Venus Engine, it assures most ISO 51200 excessive sensitivity recording with minimal noise.
Maximizing using the pixels within the full-frame picture sensor, the LUMIX BS1H is able to 6K/24p, 5.4K/30p (3:2 facet ratio) or 5.9K/30p (16:9 facet ratio) high-resolution, easy video recording. It additionally gives 10-bit 60p 4K/C4K*1 HEVC video recording when utilizing the picture space equal to Tremendous 35mm. The 4:2:2 10-bit 4K30p is recordable in H.264 at its full space. Its high-resolution information will also be used for creating 4K movies with greater picture high quality or for cropping photos in 4K.
The LUMIX BS1H imports the famend colorimetry of the VariCam lineup of Panasonic cinema cameras, enabling filmmakers to seize correct colours and wealthy pores and skin tones. The LUMIX BS1H delivers 14+ stops of Dynamic Vary with a V-Log to exactly reproduce the whole lot from darkish to vibrant areas. V-Log/V-Gamut delivers a excessive dynamic vary and broad colours and creates a better degree of play for the photographs in post-production processes. The LUMIX BS1H’s CMOS sensor achieves a large coloration gamut often known as V-Gamut, which is the digital camera’s optimum coloration area and achieves a coloration area that’s wider than BT.2020. V-Log has log curve traits harking back to damaging movie and V-Gamut delivers a coloration area even bigger than movie.
Along with HDR (Excessive Dynamic Vary) video recording, the digital camera information video with a delegated gamma curve suitable with ITU-R BT.2100, and the consumer can now select Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) in Photograph Fashion.
The LUMIX BS1H additionally gives real-time topic detection with a sophisticated deep studying know-how to set exact give attention to the goal topics comparable to people and animals even shifting at quick speeds.
2. All kinds of recording codecs, body charges and resolutions in most 6K
The LUMIX BS1H is able to 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 60p/50p HDMI output. Designed to fulfill wide-ranging artistic wants, the LUMIX BS1H adopts a brand new warmth dispersion construction which achieves limitless video recording in a wide range of recording codecs, together with 4:3 Anamorphic mode, and gives two alternate options for RAW workflow. [5.9K] / [4K] / [Anamorphic (4:3) 3.5K] 12-bit RAW video information will be output over HDMI to avoid wasting Apple ProRes RAW on the Atomos Ninja V or save Blackmagic RAW on the Blackmagic Video Help 12G HDR.
