Set Up Your Panasonic Lumix S1H for Filmmaking | Settings Walkthrough

[@labrow]

This is a really excellent video, thanks for the clear explanations. I got this camera yesterday, I'm moving from being a Canon user of many years and this is super helpful.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Thanks Peter! Glad it helped

[@lindseyrecanati8080]

yep i was Canon before as well..... i was.....

[@samuell.hodgesjr.1577]

I have a friend that has a lumix s1h and it is a nice camera. I only learned about the camera a few days ago. I am thinking about getting one myself. Thanks for this tutorial. It was a big help.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Your comment is like a poem! Appreciate it!

[@joyoffilming9500]

Man, you really made my day. After having not touched my S1H for 6 month now I was really confused with some of the settings. Watching your video was a quick refresher, plus some new learnings. Love especially your Fn-settings which I copied all.

[@mamedych]

When I pressed Sensor cleaning nothing happens, the camera doesn’t vibrate, why?

[@andrewgayda9028]

Have you found a way to disable the shutter button as a record button? I always accidentally press that button because my finger is on the trigger. But I’d much preferred to have it set as a back button and disable the shutter button. Lmk man, great review.

[@puddytat62]

Can you still do manual exposure when you set the camera to Movie Mode. I found that option is greyed out. You are doing this tutorial in S mode

[@robtylerphoto]

can you explain where to set the spot metering custom button from, i have been through the menu so many times and dont see it anywhere :/

[@ozadventurelife]

Hi there, recently bought an S1H cannot seem to access all the Rec. quality settings it’s only displaying 4?

[@manchemram]

Super clean and helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@YORN_SOPHEAK]

Please let me know about anamorphic Len, nowadays I used Anamorphic Len 1.6x but in Camera S1H doesn’t have 1.6x it have only 1.33x 1.55x 1.8x or 2x so how can I set up anamorphic to support with my Len 1.6x ?

[@itsmebrotherkc]

Amazing, subscribed, I've been looking for a channel with good videos on the S1h

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Aw Thanks!

[@rafa_rca]

Hello, could you help me, do you know if you can put the battery percentage instead of the typical lines, I have seen it done with the S1 and S1H, but in the settings of the S5 I can not find it anywhere, you know if this can it be done or maybe I have to update the firmware version to have this option? greetings thank you.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

I don’t know if the S5 is any different, but on the S1 and S1H it is under the wrench icon, then Monitor / Display 1. Remaining Battery level. Then switch to %. Hope this helps!!

[@EUROPETVEMEDIAAfroTAGTV]

I learn a lot through this video. Thanks a lot. Just bought a S1H. So I'm still playing around with it and discovering as well. I have a question though: Would you recommend me to use auto focus when shooting V-Log? cause it's a bit hard to monitor the focus on the small size monitor of the camera; unless I add a 7 inch external. Hearing your advice. Thanks in advance.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Honestly, I haven’t used autofocus on the S1H enough. While I would want to use it in some instances, I can’t rely on it. So I manually focus with my sigma art lenses. And I always use V-Log. The natural or flat profile would be better for the contrast based AF, but not by a great deal. Hope this helps

[@crackasour]

super helpful, can't wait to get this camera!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

It’s entirely worth it. I’m impressed with the S1H

[@dgstudioLLC]

FOCUS/ SHUTTER PRIORITY MODE? ALSO HOW DOI CHANGE THE SHUTTER BUTTON RECORD MODE FROM BEING SO EASY TO RECORD WHEN LIGHTLY PRESSING IT

[@털민웨이터-o2i]

Hello, I would like to know if the af function has been upgraded

[@MrCapturedmoments]

You can adjust the frame rate for the monitor output, but can you adjust the resolution for it as well ?

[@dombionchi]

You showed focus peaking at wide aperture I think. I wonder if it becomes to spread out at smaller aperture. I have some old Sony cameras where focus peaking starts and ends when the lens is way out of focus, so you have to guess the focus point.

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

Hello Nate do you know how to use timecode with a field mixer like the Mix-Pre 6ii?

[@josephvalhalore]

great vid!

[@BalanceSearcher]

You just made my experience with the cam 10 x faster :) Great work! Thanks a lot.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Awesome! I plan on doing a lot more S1 and S1H content so stick around if you’d like

[@LilHana11]

Is it possible for S1H to shoot still images while recording video?

[@apc262]

Did you end up drilling down on the best autofocus settings?

[@forgesmedia]

How do you keep the viewfinder display on instead of the eye sensor when in video mode?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

You should be able to toggle between... screen only, auto and viewfinder only. There is a button on the side thats programmed by default, in case you've changed it you'll have to dig through the settings. Hope this helps!

[@captaint5772]

Hello, I'm shooting mov in V-log 4K 10bit video format. It opens only as an audio file in QuickTime and Davinci resolve. I can see the same file as image when I drag it to Adobe premier What is the reason of this?

[@davidsanchez1]

Thanks for the video, very useful. How sd card you use for shooting 4k 400 mb/s with the s1h?

[@auxmedia6764]

Hi, quick question, I hope you can help! I have just purchased the S1H however it does not show the 6K recording option and only displays the maximum as being 5.9K at 25fps 420? Do you have any idea why this could be?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Yeah 5.9K is the highest resolution in 16x9. (Which is close enough) if you want true 6K you have to shoot in the 3:2 format

[@auxmedia6764]

@@NatesFilmTutorials Where on the S1H would I find the option to change the aspect ratio to allow 6K? Thanks

[@KeithsTVHD1]

Hello I have the S1H in the all I files will not play on my computer windows 10 ,Unless I use VLC to play them on.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

It’s because of the h.265 codec, I hdr Premieres media browser when I need to look at the files. Alternatively you could shoot in a different codec or buy an atomos ninja V and shoot ProRes for easy playback

[@KeithsTVHD1]

Nate's Film Tutorials Oh OK I thought something was wrong with the camera ,LOL and thanks!

[@KPSCTIMES]

Between a7siii and S1H, which one do you prefer?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Good question! The answer is it depends. The S1H has a fantastic image and built to be a filmmakers camera. The A7siii delivers on 95% of those things, but offers more versatility. I ultimately chose the A7siii, as it better suited the wide variety of videos I make.

[@JacobStoneFilms]

As far as picture profile, I’m working on a project and color grading won’t be part of the process since the editor won’t have time. Does the normal picture profile look good too?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

They work, however I would personally wouldn’t shoot with them.

[@JacobStoneFilms]

Sounds good! I don’t like shooting with them either. I’m coming from Sony and shooting S-Log....with the turnaround time though, there won’t be any time for color grading.

[@weddingprotips4606]

@@JacobStoneFilms Shoot natural and if you light it well you won't have to do much at all for quick turnaround!

[@rodthomas_visuals]

Hi Nate, Super helpful video. @ 8:52, it shows the exposure in stops, when I hit that Fn button, mine is shown in a % and Id like to change it. I cant for the life of me figure out how. Regards Rod

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

I’ve noticed that when switching from V Log to other picture profiles. Idk why. I wish it was in stops across the board :(

[@tille2603]

still waiting for how to setup panasonic s1 for video nr 2. if u still have it :p or if u could make a video on v log how to expose and etc

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Did you see my video on the S1? Vlog is practically the same on both cameras. That’s a good idea for a video. I love the way VLOG works on these cameras

[@Filmmaker809]

Great video Nate. What lenses do you own and recommend for the S1H for shooting video only?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Shark I own the Panasonic 24-105 f/4 as well as canon lenses adapted with the mc 21 adapter. Which are the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8. 18-35mm 50-100mm and. Tokina 11-16mm. I would recommend going with the mc21 and picking up a 24-70mm f/2.8 as your first lens. It’s cheaper than what Panasonic offers and has a true manual focus ring. If you need autofocus then the 24-105 is a great lens to start off with. It’s sharp and f/4 on full frame still offers nice shallow depth of field

[@Filmmaker809]

Hey Nate, I appreciate your reply. Lots of options! Thanks mate. I already have a couple of speedboosters for my Sigma 18-35mm lens, so I could use it with the Sigma 34-70mm.

[@techincaraibes]

@@NatesFilmTutorials you recommend the 24-70mm f/2,8 Sigma L Mount ?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

I’m not certain. I would probably recommend it over the Panasonic version. because It’s not out for l mount yet, I do prefer the EF version. I feel i will keep it longer because I can adapt it to nearly any camera

[@Filmmaker809]

Thanks Nate. Will check it out.

[@RianSpaulding]

Great job on this!

[@nicodehnhardt466]

bro can u help me ? i can`t find the window meter/fts. focus pulling

[@Homeeducateme]

Love this video, what setting would you recommend for crisp no shake video making ie holiday video making.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Hi Heli Drones! Can you clarify what you mean by "crisp no shake video making ie holiday video making?"

Please, please, please: Is there a way to hide the focus box? Especially if I'm shooting with Manual Focus and at least when I click "disp." to clean up the display (right now it's the only element that stays). It's driving me crazy. I would really appreciate the help and can't find anything online or on the manual! Great video by the way! Thank you so much! Liked and subscribed :)

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Hi Stefano! haha I totally get it. Currently, there is not way to get rid of it completely. My solution is to make the box as small as possible by zooming in 20x and then moving it to the corner of the frame behind my waveform. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done for a clean layout. Hope this helps!

[@awesomebishek2530]

Hello Nate, I just bought Panasonic Lumix S1H and Atomos Ninja V. My question here is how to set 4k 60 fps, where I cannot find in the settings and all I see is 50fps as the highest fps over all. I even upgraded my firmware to 2.1 thinking that I would get 60 fps in the option. I tired searching 60fps but can find it on the settings. Could you please help me out on this issue. I know it sounds stupid to ask this question when buying S1H.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Your camera might be in PAL mode instead of NTSC

[@ohshowproductionsllc]

Hi Nate, are you having any issues with lots of grain shooting vfr in Vlog on the S1H? Thanks!

[@microdoulo2250]

this camera S1H Come with Vlog ready or I need to buy?

Comes with VLog fortunately!

Thanks for the video! lots of valuable info here. Can I use the XLR1 with the Panasonic DMW-MS2 mic?

[@kp-ti1xv]

How do I access the on screen fn buttons?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Hey! It should be under that page where you can customize the regular buttons. Scroll down and you will find the digital function buttons

[@kp-ti1xv]

@@NatesFilmTutorials thanks for the quick response. I was aware that you could customize these along with the physical buttons, but they weren't showing up on the screen. I found out you have to enable them under touch or something like this in the menu

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Yeah I remember it being a little hidden in the setting! Glad you were able to figure it out

[@davidp158]

Thanks for sharing you set up settings. The S1H offers a lot more options than the GH5. Does the linear focus ring feature work only with native L mount lenses, or will it also work with adapted lenses? That looks like a fantastic improvement over focus by wire.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Hi Dave! Good question, linear focus will only work with native l mount lenses. Thanks for watching!

[@ihakafairburn2994]

I can’t change my function 13 to 16 it’s blank when I click on it it gives me “this menu item can’t be set”

[@RoyalZProduction]

Hey man! Awesome video!! Quick question for ya! I have a lumix S1 and love it. However I feel sometimes the VLOG footage can still come off a bit grainy even at 640 iso. Maybe it’s my colour grading? Do you recommend always shooting 10bit in VLOG or is it more wise to film in 8bit? Thanks so much man keep up the great work

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

If you are shooting V-Log always record in 10 bit. Otherwise you might run into color banding. As far as noise, you probably need to expose a touch brighter in camera and then bring t by e image back in post. I haven’t encountered too much noise with the S1. You could also update to the latest firmware and see if that helps

[@ZeroFuxBE]

when exposing log footage you cannot rely on your lightmetering! Use a monitor lut to preview your log footage as for better exposure refrence.

[@ZeroFuxBE]

I'm guessing your underexposing your Log footage.

[@outrageousvisuals1940]

Does these settings also work for the S1?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Some of the more basics ones will. I did a video dedicated for the S1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2LWpZevgrKBbqc

[@nicodehnhardt466]

bro worst video explainin ever! You don't start in order and you don't explain where you are on the menu, such as, "Now we are in the blablabla part ...". one has to pause the video and see and do magic to realize where you go because you don't go in order either, and you don't leave time to see which part you jumped after since you make cuts through editing, and you assume that the viewer , knows where in the menu you are. It is stupid that you do it this way since the menu of the camera is very cumbersome in itself, something that you yourself have admitted in your video.
