S1H vs BS1H vs BGH1


LUMIX BS1H Overview

Compact and suitable for cine drones, remote setups, and expandable for cine work as well as multi-camera broadcast work, the Panasonic Lumix BS1H Full-Frame Box-Style Live & Cinema Camera is a modular digital cinema camera with a small form-factor that bellies its full-frame sensor. It features a 24.2MP sensor, a Leica L lens mount, and a wide 14+-stop dynamic range to accommodate extreme lighting changes when recording in V-Log. It records video with resolutions up to 5.9K as well as C4K (4096 x 2160) and UHD4K, and it incorporates VariCam Look workflows.

The camera features dual-native ISO using its Venus Engine, anamorphic support, advanced AF (autofocus), numerous remote and power options, and supports HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) color for vivid imagery to aid professional color grading. There are many features packed into this tiny camera that make it the go-to production camera in any mobile and multi-camera production environment.

The BS1H provides multiple ways to record your footage to high data rate files in the ALL-Intra LongGOP, MOV, and MP4 recording formats with H.264 and H.265/HEVC codecs. The camera supports unlimited recording time and allows you to record 10-bit 4:2:2 video using the camera's dual SD card slots. It can output up to 4K via the HDMI 2.0 output, or you can output up to 1080p resolution via SDI. The camera allows you to output via HDMI and SDI simultaneously, so you can use one signal for monitoring and the other for recording. It also supports recording at variable frame rates for high-quality, slow-motion video. Custom 3D LUTs can be uploaded into the camera, using the SD card slots.

The BS1H is also an ideal camera for multi-camera environments, not only because it's highly mobile, but it includes timecode and genlock BNC ports, so you can sync it with other cameras to make syncing in postproduction easy. Its RJ45 Gigabit LAN port allows you to sync with other networked BS1H cameras, manage the camera settings and functions, and even perform direct IP streaming with a future firmware update. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality are also integrated for monitoring, configuration, and control via a smartphone or tablet, using the LUMIX Sync app. Another function integrated into the BS1H is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C input to control the camera with the LUMIX Tether app, which allows you to capture still images and control up to 12 BS1H cameras. Audio features include high-grade 48 kHz/24-bit LPCM format, an integrated stereo microphone, a 3.5mm mic/line-level input, and a 3.5mm headphone output. The optional DMW-XLR1 XLR adapter can be utilized, using the camera's integrated hot shoe, allowing you to record with professional microphones.

Its compact body measures less than 4” square and weighs only 1.3 lb, so it can be used on gimbals or drones for high-quality, stabilized footage. Its internal fan keeps the camera cool during long shoots, and its aluminum and magnesium housing provides protection and adds to the cooling factor. It also features 9 x accessory mounting threads for mounting onto a plate, cage, or tripod mount. There are four user-programmable function buttons around the housing as well as tally lights on the front and rear. You can power the BS1H using the included power adapter, with a separately available high-capacity VBR-type battery using its integrated mount, or by using PoE+ (Power-over-Ethernet) via the LAN port with compatible PoE equipment.

Panasonic Lumix BS1H Press Release

Panasonic Announces the LUMIX BS1H Full-Frame Box-Style Mirrorless Live and Cinema Camera Featuring A Compact Body with 6K 24p / 5.9K 30p 10-bit Unlimited Video Recording Capability

Newark, NJ (October 7, 2021) - Panasonic is proud to announce the release of the new full-frame box-style LUMIX Digital Single Lens Mirrorless Camera, the DC-BS1H. As its name suggests, the LUMIX BS1H is a versatile box-style camera that combines the cinema-quality video performance of the LUMIX S1H with an easy-to-deploy box-style profile. The LUMIX BS1H accommodates a 24-megapixel full-frame sensor with Dual Native ISO technology and includes features such as 6K full-area high resolution recording, impressive bokeh, excellent low-light performance, wide dynamic range of 14+ stops, V-Log and more.

The high connectivity and mobility of the BS1H enable users to flexibly use the camera to create their ideal camera system according to the scenario. In addition, consistency among their images minimizes post-production processing when used alongside other Panasonic LUMIX production cameras such as the BGH1 or the S1H.

Cinema production quality video with 35mm full-frame sensor

The BS1H contains a 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor (35.6 mm x 23.8mm) that captures 6K resolution. With an active resolution of 6,024 x 4,016, the BS1H delivers approximately 24.2 million photosites. Adoption of an OLPF (Optical Low Pass Filter) suppresses moire and false color. The image sensor with Dual Native ISO in the BS1H minimizes 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.

Maximizing 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 4K30p 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 lineup of Panasonic cinema cameras, enabling filmmakers to capture accurate colors and rich skin tones. The LUMIX BS1H delivers 14+ stops of Dynamic Range with a V-Log to precisely reproduce everything from dark to bright areas. V-Log/V-Gamut delivers a high dynamic range and broad colors and creates a greater level of play for the images in post-production processes. The LUMIX BS1H’s CMOS sensor achieves a wide color gamut known as V-Gamut, which is the camera’s optimum color space and achieves a color space that is wider than BT.2020. V-Log has log curve characteristics reminiscent of negative film and V-Gamut delivers a color space even larger than film.

In addition to HDR (High Dynamic Range) video recording, the camera 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 subjects such as humans and animals even moving at fast speeds.

A wide variety of recording formats, frame rates and resolutions in maximum 6K

The LUMIX BS1H is capable of 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 60p/50p HDMI output. Designed to satisfy wide-ranging creative needs, the LUMIX BS1H adopts a new heat dispersion structure which achieves unlimited video recording in a variety of recording formats, including 4:3 Anamorphic mode, and provides two alternatives for RAW workflow. [5.9K] / [4K] / [Anamorphic (4:3) 3.5K] 12-bit RAW video data can be output over HDMI to save Apple ProRes RAW on the Atomos Ninja V or save Blackmagic RAW on the Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR.

  • V-Log or V709 is selectable on the external monitor through SDI during RAW output.
  • Shooting assist functions including V-Log View Assist, Luminance Spot Meter and Zebra Pattern can be used during RAW output

Apple ProRes RAW

– Selectable recording mode depends on the firmware version of Atomos Ninja V.
– Please refer to the Atomos website for the information on the corresponding firmware version of Atomos Ninja V.
– Software that supports Apple ProRes RAW is required to edit RAW video recorded with NINJA V. Apply the LUT (Look up table) available on the following customer supports site to make the same color grading as V-Log/V-Gamut https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/lut/s1h_raw_lut/
– All functions may not be available depending on the situation.

Blackmagic RAW

– Selectable recording mode depends on the firmware version of Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR.
– Please refer to the Blackmagic Design website for the information on the corresponding firmware version of Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR.
– DaVinci Resolve or DaVinci Resolve Studio is required to play back and edit Blackmagic RAW data. DaVinci Resolve Studio is required to deliver projects using Blackmagic RAW data in resolutions over 3840x2160.
– All functions may not be available depending on the situation.

The VFR (Variable Frame Rate) lets users record over cranked / under cranked video in C4K/4K (60 fps, maximum 2.5x slower in 24p) and FHD (180 fps, maximum 7.5x slower in 24p). The minimum frame rate for quick motion video is 2 fps. In addition, HFR (High Frame Rate) video with sound is recordable even when using auto focus. Further, a variety of effects are available for producing a slow-motion video through the postproduction process.

To support a growing need for live streaming, the BS1H provides an IP streaming function that enables distant, high-quality image transmission to the social streaming platform online with PC connection over wired LAN. Notably, the LUMIX BS1H can stream 4K 60p (50p) video in H.265. The H.265 realizes half the bitrate while keeping the image quality the same as H.264, which means it can provide 2x higher image quality at the same bitrate as H.264. Streaming in ultra-high definition 4K at low bitrate is possible even in the cases where the bandwidth is not broad enough.

A wide range of connections for unlimited possibilities

Composed of aluminum and magnesium alloy, the LUMIX BS1H body frame enables a compact and lightweight, yet durable, box-style camera, and provides a variety of practical ports. In addition to a USB 3.1 Type-C, a 3G-SDI (BNC) and an HDMI Type-A terminal are equipped, which can be used for simultaneous output. Moreover, Genlock IN (BNC) and Timecode IN/OUT (BNC) functions which enable multi-angle synchronized video recording are available to build a scalable system with manufacturer-agnostic external monitors, rigs and gimbals. When connected to LAN, Power over Ethernet+ (PoE+) makes it is easy to install both physically and electrically. Control over maximum 12 sets of LUMIX BS1H cameras*2 is available using Panasonic PC software LUMIX Tether for Multicam. The LUMIX BS1H is also equipped with a double SD Card slot for backup recording or relay recording.

Use of LUMIX S Series lenses with BS1H provides further advantages. The Boost I.S.(Video) function (Image Stabilizer) can be used and superior AF/AE control is available when the LUMIX S Series lens with O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) is mounted.

Looking forward to see updates version with lumix new autofocus
Dude… me too
May I ask, I'm a newbie to this world of photography. We have a small house of worship. We're installing a BlackMagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 at a fixed location with a view of the stage (20 feet wide). The camera is positioned 30 feet from the stage and attached to the ceiling (10 feet high). What's the ideal lense to buy? I want to set the zoom and focus and leave it alone. Every Sunday morning, turn on BlackMagic without adjusting the lenses, and be ready to go. Perhaps Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Power O.I.S. Lens ($499)?
Hyperfocus is the point where everything beyond that is in focus. It’s not something you’re necessarily trying to achieve unless you simply want everything in focus.
@@photojoseph Thank you! Found "Depth of Field" app from PixelProse SARL. Nice app. What is "Hyperfocus"? I presume that we want the subject and the hyperfocus to be the same?
Search your phones app store for a focal length simulator. That will let you use the camera to figure out what focal length you need.
Please share a video on the best settings for handling this BGH1 camera, I can't find any on YouTube
There’s no such thing. “Best” is dependent on what you’re doing.
How does this compare in color science to the s1 or s1h? Ever since the s5 ii the sharpness and colors science is slightely different. Any noticeable image difference from the amazing s1h to this?
S1H and BS1H are identical. They also are the only cameras now withOUT a low pass filter (watch this for a comparison https://youtu.be/k4IHg_ErmxU ). Color science I don’t believe has changed.
29ms of rolling shutter, enough said, case closed
@@photojoseph I dont know what kind of paid jobs you doing for decades, try to shot and edit 200+ weddings a year and also crane shots with such rolling shutter, then we may talk, armchair expert
@@techr9186 I don’t know what you want me to tell you or what point you’re trying to make. Other than with global shutter (first global shutter consumer camera ever released just came out), all CMOS cameras have rolling shutter. Some are better, some are worse. I’ve been shooting LUMIX cameras for nearly a decade and the only time it’s a problem is in whip pans and frankly in a vlog — the only place I’d use a whip pan — who TF cares. Like any piece of equipment, there are strengths and there are weaknesses. Professionals lean into the strengths and work around the weaknesses. Armchair experts complain about the weaknesses, ignore the strengths, and never shoot anything. It’s a choice.
you'll see this 29ms in every tracking shots on a background@@photojoseph
Agree it’s not ideal, but not everybody’s idea of cinematography is whip pans.
How many frames delay does the Bs1h via SDI ouput? I know bgh1 has been reported to have 3-6 frames. I want to use them in live broadcast so i like to know.
That is correct. It depends on the frame size and rate. Also if you don’t need audio through SDI that can save a frame.
Do you have any info about the delay in rtsp?
How about your opinion shooting a theatrical film in LUMIX BS1H?
what about the effective pixels in video in LUMIX BS1H?
Mon voisin disait :"Traduit en francais connard..."
Dites à votre voisin que j'ai dit "les sous-titres sont en français, connard".
Awesome, thanks!
You bet!
nice video...I just hit "Like & Sub"... have my eye on a future BS1H Multi-Cam System... in a few years... lol
Gonna see now your 5 Cam Setup now...
Thank you! The box cameras really are ideal for a multicam setup! Hope you enjoyed the 5x video!
By the time I finished watching, I forgot I was mad about being click baited
I have succeeded then ☺️
Quick question, how do I access the 6K Open Gate 5952x3968 (3:2)? So far my BS1H only goes up to (5888x3312) . Thanks for the breakdown and comparison too!
@@photojoseph It was on .mov, however, I realized I had the camera system frequency set to 50Hz instead of 24Hz. Solved now. Thx for getting back 😄
Hmm, is it in MOV mode instead of MP4 mode?
where is the little buzzing coming from?
Photo Joe i have aLumix S1H batteries are showing full charge but the camera wont power on, Wat can it be?
Great video Joseph. I'm ruminating the Panasonic vs Sony for a Webcam for Office Hours with Fenwick and Lindsay.
Awesome. If the money isn’t an issue I’d go with the S5II because you can control it from the computer (over usb, not network like the box cameras, so it’s not quite as flexible), but you also get the awesome AF. That said, I use the BGH1 as my primary webcam
Is it global shutter???????? I just shot a feature thriller on the S5 and love it. I shoot into a Ninja so I get FULL FRAME 5.9k Prores RAW, 422,12 bit, and the image is poetry. I love it. Now, this is not a deal breaker, but as a narrative filmmaker the S5 already has everything I need. The only thing I might look for in an upgrade would be a global shutter. I am a devote and went from GH4's to 5's and 6's and then moved over to the S5 FULL FRAME. M4/3 just does not compare, guys. I love Panasonic color science and now I have full frame and full frame anamorphic! While I don't really need to do fast pans and can always arrange my action to move toward or away from the camera, global shutter would be the only other thing you might offer that might make me think about another camera for at least the next 5 to 10 years. I am a pro and have shot with high end Reds and Alexas and the image out of this S5 stands right along side any of them. Mind blowing!
@@photojoseph I heard Canon are developing a full frame global shutter. Lumix should try to get ahead of this. That might be the last development they would need for the next ten years. (oh, yes, forgot, change the auto focus system, not that I use it, but I get so sick of hearing about it. )
Awesome to hear how much you are enjoying the cameras and their journey! Unfortunately none of the LUMIX cameras are global shutter. That would, of course, be amazing.
Congrats I clicked in the vid
Hi Joseph...great videos! Quick question on the BS1H. I cant seem to get the manual focus assist(zoom) working on the BS1H using a dumb manual lens on a Sigma MC21 adapter. I have the same lens set up on a S1H and it all works fine using the normal expand/assist button on the back. I have tried replicating all the settings on the BS1H using function buttons and cant for the life of me get it working. Any insight and help would be sincerely appreciated! Cheers, Vince
I own 3 of these cameras. Love shooting with them but they DO NOT GENLOCK @ 23.98 or 24 FPS….. while this may not seem like a big deal to most videographer types but for my use case it precludes me from using them as on set reference cameras on VFX shoots. Truly a bummer:(. If you have pull with Panasonic can we get a firmware update that would allow 23.98 and 24 FPS genlock?
I’m looking into this. What genlock generator are you using?
I have little issues, I have set external raw output and want to access menus.
But can't.
So I want to reset setting.
Q.Menu, F2, F3. Does not reset it, am I messing something?
You need to program toggling RAW on/off to one of the Fn buttons (it's not on by default). This feature was added in firmware v.2.3 in Nov 2021; make sure you are on at least that version of firmware. You can't access the menus over HDMI when RAW is enabled, so either a) you can toggle RAW off, make your changes, and toggle RAW back on, b) monitor over SDI for menus while shooting RAW, or c) control the camera over USB/Ethernet while shooting RAW.
Hey Dude, my name is Stephan from The Netherlands, thank you for your awesome Gear review Viddies, its my No 1 goto on youtube, I recently bought my own setup, Bluntly i copied your setup in this video , I got the BGH1 with the 8 sinn cage The leica 1.7 10-25 the swit batterie combined with the tilta nucleus n and the NinjaV+ , mayn , its a monster, 1 question is ther any way to utilize the record button on the Nucleus ? is it possible to use that as the main record button? I probably need a cable for that if its possible at all? since you are panasonic ambasador you might provide the answer. Keep up the awesome work &thank you so much for the work you put in this .
Yeah they make a cable that will work, for sure. Make sure to tell them it’s for BGH1 (LANC protocol) and not the classic Panasonic protocol. The plug is 2.5mm standard.
so why does netflix accept this but not the black magic 6k camera
@@photojoseph thanks
Netflix has specific requirements — here's the web page; I don't know what is missing from the BMPCC 6K https://partnerhelp.netflixstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000579527-Cameras-and-Image-Capture
dislike for clickbait
that's fine… it's clickbaity but it's 100% accurate. Tongue in cheek… if you gotta dislike for the playful title that's actually true, then you do you!
like your video and content but that rig looks like the tower of Pisa. there's some esthetically ugly about it
Wow what a comment. The rig wasn’t design to be pretty, but functional.
Awesome video, but major heads up!! I do a lot of live streaming sports and I highly recommend if you are going to power a camera, do not use that same power into the Ninja or wireless transmitter. Both should have their own power source. Having one power source that is powering the camera and the device the signal is being sent to can damage the camera or both components. It is much safer for those two things to have their own power source.
Almost gave this a wide berth…….glad I didn’t, as a former film cameraman I need this translation of information👍
I'm glad you didn't either ;-)
there is no word heighth.
Great video! Any Chance you can point me in the direction of the "telescoping" top handle to work together with the XLR1? I can't seem to find something that definitely lets you use the xlr while having a handle attached...
@@photojoseph Found it, works for me! Thank's a lot!! :)
@@mapachemusix ah ok, it’s not telescoping, it’s just tall. Search smallrig for “XLR1”
@@photojoseph you're mentioning something at 13:16 :D a handle that's usable while having the XLR1 attached at the same time.
Telescoping? You mean so it collapses when not in use? Never seen that. But SmallRig makes lots of accessories. I’d start there https://geni.us/sbq7j5P
Please do comparison of BS1H vs A7SIII vs FX3
I’m a Lumix ambassador, so I don’t compare to other brands, sorry. Not what I do on this channel
S1H is the best dlsr sized cine quality camera. This one is an excellent addition to the family.
You get no argument from me!
First time seeing this channel. I dont think you have enough camera stuff :-)
Finally!! Someone who gets it!! 😂😂
How much did your total system cost at the end?
“Total system”? Depends on what’s in use. Links below to all the gear.
Hi, how rich are you? that's a lot of equipment.

“ *This*… Is the longest intro”…. “ *This*… Is not getting to the point”…. “ *This*… had me lose interest”….
this comment made me lose faith in humanity
Is this one limited to 1080/3G output over SDI as well 😢
Sadly, yes. Please tell Panasonic that you want 12G SDI. We all need to tell them.
so much tech and yet the sound is weird
I know
I would rate the Nikon D850 as the biggest pile of Fecal Matter.
As a non-Nikon shooter, I refuse to disagree
Borderline clickbait.
Borderline, yes… yet it’s 100% accurate 😊
I like your vids. I'd still pick BGH1 camera -especially for those who already have a speedbooster for mft
Both are great choices!
I'd go for the Boxy styled camera body anyday.
I'm really loving the format
This video is BS.
@@jennymcdonough2095 LOL thanks 😊
@@photojoseph My apologies, I was having a Karen moment. LOL
@@jennymcdonough2095 think it through. It sounds like clickbait. But it’s not. Read the title and thumbnail carefully. It’s very carefully worded.
@@photojoseph That's a matter of opinion. I don't care for click bait..
Just like this comment
It's a shame they limited the internal output so much.
@@slipoch6635 USB, SD, NVMe, and USB are all common standards. Using any of them directly with the camera to storage raw footage would be inviting a lawsuit from RED.

U.S. Patent No. 9,245,314 already covers the loophole you’re trying to use.

“Additionally, in some embodiments, the storage device 24 can be mounted to an exterior of the housing 12 and connected to the remaining portions of the system 14 through any type of known connector or cable. Additionally, the storage device 24 can be connected to the housing 12 with a flexible cable, thus allowing the storage device 24 to be moved somewhat independently from the housing 12.”
no it wouldn't, USB is a standardised connection method and standardised communication protocol that RED has no patent on, which is why red lock down their SSD system with a custom serial identifier (this is the bit with a patent) to disallow using other ssds on their systems to the full extent (even though the ones they use are rubbish).

Look at ARRI and Blackmagic, both of which can write directly through USB connections.
@@slipoch6635 That would violate one of RED’s patents.
@@photojoseph I mean internal, if they had a usb-c port with usb 3.2 and could save raw to a HDD. Also the limitation to 4:2:0 to get decent resolution. Sacrificing data that is used in colour correction. (if you are not pushing your colours then this will probably not make a huge difference)
Do you mean the SDI? Because the HDMI goes all the way to 11… I mean, RAW!
Click bait title .. .... anyone that posts a fake headline .. is untrustworthy ..
Dude, relax. It’s a clever title that feels like clickbait but is actually 100% true. Think about it. And… relax. “Untrustworthy” is the last word anyone watching this channel would call me.
😆
That buzzing is really fucking distracting
@@photojoseph good point haha
Imagine how I feel
All I want from Pana is a global shutter MFT
🤣 actual click bait I really enjoyed.
Nice lipstick...oh, it's Panasonic :D
Wow
