Introducing the Panasonic LUMIX Mirrorless Camera DC-BS1H

Panasonic have announced the New Full-Frame Box-Style Mirrorless Camera LUMIX BS1H featuring 6K 24p/ 5.9K 30p 10-bit unlimited video recording capabilities

The LUMIX BS1H is a versatile box-style camera combining the cinema-quality video performance of the LUMIX S1H into the easy-to-deploy box-style profile. With its 24-megapixel full-frame sensor with Dual Native ISO technology, the LUMIX BS1H can further enhances its potential including 6K full-area high resolution recording, impressive bokeh, low-light performance, wide dynamic range of 14+ stops V-Log and more.

High connectivity and mobility, mean users can build the BS1H up into an ideal camera system that suits them. The consistent look of images minimises post-production processing when other Panasonic LUMIX production cameras are used together.       

The BS1H has an active resolution of 6,024 x 4,016 and delivers approximately 24.2 million photosites. The adoption of an OLPF (Optical Low Pass Filter) suppresses moire and false colour while the image sensor minimises noise generation by choosing an optimal circuit to use according to the sensitivity before gain processing. In combination with optimum signal processing by the Venus Engine, it assures maximum ISO 51200 high sensitivity recording with minimum noise.

Maximising the use of the pixels in the full-frame image sensor, the LUMIX BS1H is capable of 6K/24p, 5.4K/30p (3:2 aspect ratio) or 5.9K/30p (16:9 aspect ratio) high-resolution, smooth video recording. It also provides 10-bit 60p 4K/C4K*1 HEVC video recording when using the image area equivalent to Super 35mm. The 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 30p is recordable in H.264 at its full area. Its high-resolution data can also be used for creating 4K videos with higher image quality or for cropping images in 4K.

The LUMIX BS1H imports the renowned colorimetry of the VariCam line-up of cinema cameras, meaning it can accurately capture a dynamic range of broad colours and rich skin tones. This is because the BS1H contains V-Log which renders a very flat image while maintaining all of the colour information within the image. The CMOS sensor of the new Panasonic camera achieves a wide colour gamut known as V-Gamut, which is the BS1H’s optimum colour space and achieves a colour space that is wider than BT.2020. V-Log has log curve characteristics that are somewhat reminiscent of negative film and V-Gamut delivers a colour space even larger than film.

The camera additionally records video with a designated gamma curve compatible with ITU-R BT.2100, and the user can now choose Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) in Photo Style. The LUMIX BS1H also provides real-time subject detection with an advanced deep learning technology to set precise focus on the target subject such as humans and animals even if they are moving fast.
