- This is a Panasonic S1H menu walkthrough. It's a long video, but Ilook through all of the Panasonic S1H settings. If you're looking for specific tips for your Lumix S1H setup I don't go into that much detail here just because I want to give an overview of the entire Lumix S1H menu, but I'll make another video that offers my custom Panasonic S1H setup and give more specifics and details there.
One of my big questions is if this camera is suitable for wedding filmmaking. Wedding film coach is focused on helping beginners get started with wedding videography and I definitely don't think the S1H is suitable for beginners. Even I was overwhelmed by the more exhaustive and sophisticated settings this camera offers.
I hope this walkthrough is helpful to answer a few questions, and at least give you a headstart on setting up your own Lumix S1H if you want to get out and shooting with it asap. Thanks for watching. Have a great day!
If you're thinking about picking up this camera, it would support the channel if you used my affiliate link. Thanks so much!

It's extremely kind of you to create this video!
No problem, hope it helped!
Very helpful, Thank you for this!
You're welcome, purpleppl media. Glad it helped. This camera definitely requires some time to get used to. I sent it back already, but best of luck finding a setup that works for you.
Very helpful
Thanks, Jamel. Glad it helped. Best of luck!
Dude! You completely overlooked the timelapse menu at the end. It would be great to know what kind of intervalometre settings it has and if it shoots 6k timelapse which would be huge for recomposing in post.
6:22 happens with DSLRs too. Canon's recent DSLRs from the 5Ds have an anti flicker mode. It's the simplest I have seen, just turn it on. It's not to stop the monitor from flickering, it's to avoid recording the flicker.
The Panasonic Lumix S-Series Camera Professionals - S1H, S1, S1R Facebook Group has a good/high-level discussion going on about the S1H. If you are researching this camera I recommend joining.
Thanks, Illya.
Thank you for the video, but don't forget that this is a 6K capable camera. In fact that's it's main selling point. I think the 6K options become available in MOV mode. Perhaps you could create another video when you become familiar with that shooting mode. Cheers.
Yep, you're exactly right. Selecting MOV really opens up all of the codec options. That was certainly a big blunder in this video. I ended up returning the camera. I've been too busy since I released these videos to upload a final thoughts video, but ultimately it boiled down to the autofocus for me. I think for most people that wouldn't be a huge issue, but my specific run and gun workflow with weddings really depends on dependable and fast autofocus. I think for anyone doing studio or scheduled shoots this camera would be an amazing asset. Cheers!
@@WeddingFilmCoach Sounds like you should go in a Sony or Canon direction for reliable autofocus, but you've probably already figured that out. Cheers. :)
Thanks for this video. Very helpful. What I notice on this camera is that the focus peaking is practically nonexistent once I "punch in" to get my focus perfect. Any way to make my focus peaking show up strongly when punched-in?
Gray Matters thanks for stopping by the channel. Unfortunately, I can’t be a big help there. I ended up returning the camera because it didn’t fit well in my workflow.
Curious -- what did this camera not do to fit into your workflow?
I shoot MOV. and under record quality, I notice the 4K/60p/420/10-L, it shows as 200Mbps as supposed to 100Mbps in MP4 (at 17:09 in your video). What is your take on this difference in bit rate? Does it have effect of quality or video size ? Thanks.
*Hey ! Why are there only TWO (2) pages of settings in your record quality ? In every other review and menu deep dive video on TH-cam I have watched on the S1H it lists ?? Do you have a pre-production/early firmware version of the S1H ?*
Hey Mark, thanks for stopping by the channel. I apologize, this was a miss on my part. I believe I had the video format set to MP4 as opposed to MOV, and that severely limited the recording options. Again, this was just an error on my part. I can't confirm any other settings right now because I don't have the camera any more, but you can probably trust some of the other videos out there. Best of luck to you.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial, it's fantastic. I have a question, in the mov recording option, 6k does not appear, only up to 5.9k. Is there a way to activate it? Thanks in advance
Try adjusting your system frequency to NTSC in the setup menu. The 6k option should appear at the very top ;)
@@mackdiesel4440 yes, it was the problem and i found it, thank u!
Wondering can you help? - Hi I can't display any autofocus settings anymore on my S1H . AF Mode is greyed out and if I go to Focus in video settings, in particular AF Custom Setting (Video) I get a message saying This item cannot be be set in the current mode Focus Mode MF - But If I go to my focus mode dial (where it says S, C and MF) the dial is pointed to S - Would appreciate any help
Hey Vic, thanks for stopping by the channel. I wish I could help but I’m not too sure. I ended up returning the camera because it wasn’t a good fit for me. Make sure you didn’t accidentally switch the AF on the lens off. Other than that you can try to reset the settings back to default and e if that helps. Best of luck!
Wedding Film Coach thanks a mill no problem. It was the clutch on the lens 🙄
Vic Barry oh great! That’s an easy fix, haha. Happy shooting man.
Would you know why the setting for 4k 60p 422 output is not in the hdmi rec output menu? Does this have something to do with "pal area only"?
Hi, thanks for stopping by the channel. Unfortunately, I don't know about that. So sorry. I ended up returning the camera because it wasn't a good fit for me. Best of luck!
wish you had set file format to MOV to see what options become available
I know! I felt like such an idiot, haha. But I guess that's what these videos are for, so other people don't make my mistake. I may make a dedicated video that focuses on the different record quality options. Thanks for watching.
41:36 I sat all the way through for those two.
Are you only able to use continuous auto focus if you have an L-mount lens?? I have some canon glass and it will only let me select AFS, and grays out the option to change my video AF settings.
Chiam Loyd hmmm it should work as long as the adapter can support autofocus. Check you AF settings in the menu to make sure everything is right. And make sure the AF switch by the viewfinder is switched to “C”
I’m having the same issue with a Sigma MC-21 EF-L mount converter and my Canon 50mm 1.4. It’s not letting me choose continuous AF and my focus dial is set to C. I don’t know what’s up. As far as I know, the MC-21 supports autofocus 🤷🏽♂️
@@austinengemann4241 Same pb for me !! Do you have the answer ? Thx
Emmanuel Guionet AF on the S1H only works with native L-mount glass. Bummer... but not the biggest deal 🤷🏽♂️
Do you recommend this camera over Sony A7 III or A7 R IV for video work only?
Hey Gurmeet, thanks for stopping by the channel. I think the S1H has the potential to be a big step up for a lot of people. If you were thinking about transitioning from a dslr or mirrorless to cinema camera, this might be a good compromise to get excellent quality while saving some money. If you rely on autofocus and are typically in a fast paced run and gun situation, such as wedding filmmaking, I recommend the Sony a7iii above all else. But if you're doing more studio and scheduled shoots for commercials, then the S1H is going to give you a huge boost in quality (if it's in your budget). Hope that helps. Cheers!
@@WeddingFilmCoach It also seems like Panasonic have more video options available than Sony now.
When using the S1 internal intervalometer does the LCD monitor still show a preview?
Good question, I'm not sure. I ended up returning the camera shortly after making this video because it did not work well in my workflow. It's an amazing camera, for sure, just not what I needed.
J G Yep, that is exactly the reason. Honestly if I did not depend upon auto focus so much I would absolutely love the camera.
Would you happen to have any answers to:
Question #1: How do you map the RED FOCUSING LIGHT to a CUSTOM BUTTON ?
Question #2 : How do you switch off " PLEASE USE THE FLASH" in iA ( idiot) mode ?
Ahhh you skipped the important part for me. What is “video frame marker?” Is it where it has guidelines for example shooting portrait videos (4:5)???
ah, so sorry Elizabeth. Yes, I fumbled through this a little bit. I believe you are correct. I believe you are correct. There is a manual online, just google it and make sure. You should have several different settings, but I'm not sure if 4:5 is one of them. Cheers!
Wedding Film Coach I googled it and can’t see it anywhere! 😫 I only heard it from someone’s video and it had me so excited for this camera. I may have to go into a store and see myself..
4:5 is 1080 x 1350 - Portrait for Instagram videos
Wedding Film Coach Okay nevermind I just saw a PDF of the manual. So goood! Thank you for this entireeee walk through, definitely made me want to buy the camera and very helpful for when i do have it :)
The S1H is a definitely a game changer for professional video production. The camera is really a full-blown 6K cinema camera in a mirrorless body that exceeds the capabilities of anything else in it’s class. For video, television, and film production I can confidently say it offers more bang for the buck of any video camera ever made. Here’s a link to my review of the camera and a trailer for a the 4-hour S1H master class I have produced that can help new owners get the best results with their camera. th-cam.com/video/GhZP14WVCn0/w-d-xo.html
Hey Doug! Thanks for stopping by the channel! I agree man, lots of good stuff in this camera.
@@WeddingFilmCoach Yes, I think Panasonic will sell a ton of them!
Do you know how to do a factory reset?!
Hey Doug, thanks for stopping by the channel. So sorry, I'm not sure. I returned the camera. I imagine it is in one of the general settings though. Best of luck.
It would have been more helpful if you had explored the options that you said you would need to revisit and explore prior to making the video
AF sensitivity probably? has to do with how quickly one wants the camera's AF to react to something unexpectedly passing through one's framing.
Yep, that's a much better way of saying that. Thanks for stopping by the channel. I'll be uploading some more footage this week. Stay tuned.
I am not sure I understand from your description what pixel-by-pixel means
Hi Bogdan, thanks for stopping by the channel. Yes, I agree it was confusing. I read the description from the manual and I am still not exactly sure what it means. However, this option effectively gives you more of a crop. So it goes from full frame, to super 35, to pixel/pixel. Again, I'm not real sure exactly what it means, but it will give you more of a cropped image. I'll try to do some more research to get a better technical understanding of it.
@@WeddingFilmCoach I was assuming pixel-by-pixel is the opposite of pixel binning. Pixel binning is when you have a sensor of larger resolution than the end resolution, so then you combine the values of adjacent sensor pixels to form the value of the end pixel. For example, if you had a 4K sensor FF and shot in 2K (1080p), then with pixel binning every 2 pixels horizontally and 2 pixels vertically would be used to compute the value of each resulting pixel, hence obtaining a 2K image from the entire sensor surface. In contrast, pixel-by-pixel would then mean capturing only the pixels equaling the end resolution, starting from the sensor's center, resulting (in this case) to a 2x crop. But since I don't know what the manual says (I can't seem to find it online), my interpretation could be off
Bogdan Sorlea that actually makes a lot of sense. There is an online manual. I’ll find the link and paste it here.
I just found the manual for S1 (not S1H, but I expect them to be similar) - eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/dscoi/DC-S1R/P_PP/DC-S1R_DVQP1845ZA_eng.pdf - according to it, my description below is correct
I don't need the manual read to me. a waste of time
Sure, Mark. Sorry about that. Do you have a specific question I could help you with? I don’t have the camera any more, but I might be able to remember something.
