Popular Post mojo43 Posted March 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2020 We shot this over a few days in Canada on the Panasonic S1 and Mavic pro 2. Honestly I can't be happier with the S1. Having shot on the A7iii and the A7sii for the past years the S1 is quite an advance in image quality. There is so much latitude in post and the dynamic range is really great in comparison.

FranciscoB Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Looks great. How's the s1 in shooting vlog in low light? I'm still on the a7s ii and shoot slog2 in low light but i always overexpose to get a clean image. Is that necessary on the s1 or you can expose how you want for the final image?

Dave Del Real Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Nice. Shot in Vlog? I see the Mavic Pro 2 is no slouch either. mojo43 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shot in Cine D so I can't really comment on Vlog, but I can tell you how it is exposing and the flexibility in the footage in comparison to the a7sii. It is so much more flexible. A few of the scenes we really had to push to the extremes of the dynamic range and we brought it back in post easily without anything breaking apart. It wouldn't have been possible to do that to A7sii footage. 8 minutes ago, Dave Del Real said: Nice. Shot in Vlog? I see the Mavic Pro 2 is no slouch either. Shot in Cine D. The mavic 2 is so much better than the 1st version. You can really push the image around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Del Real Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Cool, thanks for the reply. Also, did you use continuous autofocus and how did it perform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... unfortunately the AF isn't that great on it. We shot manual. That's the only thing that the Sony A7iii does better than the S1.

Jonesy Jones Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Very beautifully shot. Your direction with what I assume are non actors was done very well. I love the footage from those ff Panasonics. Even though I’m not a huge autofocus guy, I think that is one of the greater features of the mirror less models. Wish they would improve theirs.

Mark Romero 2 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Really great work!!! As a fellow S1 owner, I find it really inspiring, too. For what it is worth... to anyone interested, Cine D on the S1 is the OLD Cine D, while on the S1H there is a new version of Cine D called Cine D2. Not sure what difference it makes.

I actually tried to do some tests comparing nighttime vlog with HLG and Cine D (I think) but then I had to get a new graphics card, and new power supply, and my computer has been crashing, so I haven't had as much chance to work with it as I would have liked. Maybe by this weekend I can FINALLY get around to making a comparison of the low light footage. Fingers crossed. mojo43 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinad Amir Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Cine D is ideal for 120fps less noise on S1H mojo43 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya as it stand, we shoot with the S1 our A cam and the A7iii for any of our gimbal work. Also the A7iii is much lighter so it makes sense. You just really need to nail your exposure properly.

I created a look based off of this image. I dropped the black point and brought the exposure up and pushed the shadows blue. I did my grade in Resolve. Since all my gigs are cancelled now I guess I have more time for Youtube videos sigh.... maybe I will post a video on what I did for that if anyone is interested? 19 hours ago, Trek of Joy said: Beautiful!

We were going to run tests to see if could beat the a7sii, but never had time to do it. Certainly the codec in the S1 holds up much much better.
