Panasonic has announced firmware version 2. 1 for the Lumix DC-S1H. Originally slated for a May launch, this firmware adds support for Raw video output to Atomos Ninja V external recorders, which in turn can save the footage as ProRes Raw.
The maximum output resolutions are 5. 9K/29. 97p from the full sensor region and 4K/59. 94p from a Super 35 crop. A LUT will be made available for the Ninja V to match V-Log and V-Gamut on the S1H and other Panasonic video cameras.
In addition to Raw export, the firmware update also gives the S1H the ability to capture 3. 5K anamorphic from a Super 35 4:3 region.
The update is available free of charge and can be downloaded from Panasonic's website.
