Lol, you even try to convince people that I've only tried AF on a Lumix camera, when it's pretty obvious I use Canon DPAF, instead of just accepting that some prefer MF. Im putting you on the ignore list now Nice to know people can bully other and then are so sensitive they have to put people on ignore. You defended the S1 and Lumix for not having good AF in this thread and then expect me to know you use Canon DPAF. I am all for anyone using MF all day long, I could care less. This message board is suppose to be were people share experience and comment back and forth about gear they used or might use. It's actually hard to find any conversations about tech or gear on this board because old school guys bring up cine gear and anything new is garbage, that includes the latest AF and expecting a $3K camera to have it even if it's Lumix.

Stab Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi guys, just bit the bullet on a S1. Full frame here I come. I know that the HFR modes suffer from a lack of manual exposure. Apparently, the camera defaults to auto exposure in that mode. Which is a bummer. The question though is, does it also mess with the shutter speed? Or does it keep it's shutter at 180 degrees and only messes with the ISO and or Aperture. Well, I'll use manual lenses on a manual adapter so it can't do that. Will it start upping the shutter speed in that case? That would lead to motion artifacts. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Oh and is there still an APS-C crop when you use the HFR mode of 48 to 24 fps? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter H Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I am also picking up my S1 later today. Glad and nervous - big shift. (And a return to Panasonic after a bunch of years away with Canon and Fuji.) Looking around for VLog exposure guides (other than what is available for the GH5/-s) and happened upon this - https://na.panasonic.com/ns/253602_V-Log_Excerpt.pdf - which may not be anything new for many on this thread, but might be helpful for others. It was for me - some good reminders. Curious about sharpening Vlog shots vs. the same shots in CineD or Flat - needed? drm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only gripe was the lack of IBIS. I've managed to MacGyver my way into fitting the Ronin S on my backpack but unless I shoot higher frame rate and slow it down in post, all 24fps footage are almost unusable with my run and gun style. Even a simple pan reveal shot. I had to part ways with it in favour of S1's better low light, great IBIS, and equally great IQ. I will still use the gimbal for more planned shots. The 4k60 on the XT3 has a slight crop but otherwise it was great IQ. The thing with Fuji was their lenses breathed so heavily and their pricing really did not make sense. For example, my Panasonic 24-105 is only $200 more than the Fuji 16-55. Their not that much different in size and weight, but the Panny has OIS, longer reach, and macro capabilities. I will return to the Fuji once sort out my Panny system though. I would get the XT30 + 35mm 1.4 for street photography but in terms of video I am fully invested in the Panny S series. EDIT: To stay on topic - I am still waiting for my VLOG key in Toronto. I don't understand why they don't just email us the key. It's been 2 weeks now. I mean it was hard getting over the fact that people from Europe was getting the upgrade for free while I had to pay for it, but for it to take this long is just annoying. I would love for @Sage to make a GHA LUT optimized for the S1 Sage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if they appreciate it or not but I do think a growing number of video-oriented folks are going to pick up this camera, whether they also work with the GH series or as a stand-alone.

Geoff_L Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Oh, I'm breathing again, the seller just mailed me : my unit is defective (see my images of the sky in a previous page). They send it back to Panasonic and I will receive a new kit soon. Can't wait... ? I must say this is quite a frustrating experience to get your hands on such a camera, but just for some test images ! All I can say for now is the handling and build quality are absolutely outstanding. I liked so much the Nikon Z6 body, but this one bring me closer to what I have always dream of ! webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In searching out more information on Panasonic's .vlt LUTs I stumbled on Lumix Ambassador Bernard Bertrand's video where he mentions being able to use the VariCam .vlt LUTs with the S1, as seen here beginning at the 1:47 Mark...

Lars Steenhoff Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 some of those varicam names are too long, I tried them, no luck had to rename them to shorter ones. If you can make the long ones work without renaming I will take back everything I said on this topic. The good news is that they do work, because I have some of those loaded in the camera Jimmy G 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzling thing, that "3-letter" report from CVP, though. Great to hear that the VariCam LUTs work on the S1! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Steenhoff Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 CVP may have been under the assumtion that is was 3 letters, I mean 3 characters also work, but the max is 8 as you can see in my screenshot. More than 8 won't work. Jimmy G and Geoff_L 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
