More news about Panasonic’s newest video focused 4K full frame mirrorless camera - the LUMIX S1 - has dropped on its recording capabilities with the Atomos Ninja V and Inferno portable monitors. (Read our full hands-on review with the Ninja V here.)
As we covered in the initial unveiling last week, as well as the more in-depth specs and features released just yesterday, Panasonic’s new LUMIX S1 and LUMIX S1R promise to bring another diverse (yet similar) option to the crowded mirrorless digital camera marketplace.
The LUMIX S1 is shaping up to be the video-focused offering of the two, and with this latest news of its out-of-the-box capabilities in partnership with the Atomos Ninja V, it may pique just a little more interest in filmmakers and video professionals.
LUMIX S1 4K 10-Bit 4:2:2
Once released, the LUMIX S1 will be able to record 4K (3840 x 2160) 10-bit 4:2:2 HDR over HDMI to the Atomos Ninja V or Inferno, as well as record direct to Apple ProRes or Avid DNx at codecs up to 4K at 30fps in HLG HDR.
Recording directly to the Atomos Ninja V with the LUMIX S1 also frees up the camera from many of its internal video recording limitations. With no recording time limits and access to Apple ProRes and Avid DNx over H.264 or H.265 you can record directly to SSD and other Atomos devices.
