Body Design and Expandability

Night Mode

When shooting dark scenes like starry skies, this mode suppresses the stimulation of eyes that have become accustomed to the dark. The LVF and rear monitor can be set separately.

Live View Boost

The display is brightened by lowering the frame rate and increasing the gain. This lets you shoot while framing, even in extremely dark situations.

Button Illumination

The buttons are illuminated to enable accurate operation in the dark.

8-direction Joystick

The joystick moves freely in eight directions, allowing you to intuitively select the focus area with just your thumb. You can concentrate on your subject more easily and quickly get the shot you want.

Control Customization

All buttons, dials, and cursors are fully customizable, allowing users to create a personalized control system. The settings are accessible through a GUI (graphical user interface) that provides a complete, easy-to-view list.

Body Design

The carefully designed layout supports intuitive control. Buttons used during shooting are grouped on the right side of the camera, while frequently used controls, such as the joystick, are within easy reach of the thumb. To support touch-based operation, the buttons differ in size and shape, and each dial has a slightly different texture. The grip is the culmination of analyzing repeated touch-and-try simulations with professional photographers. It fits snuggly in the hand and feels natural and comfortable to hold.

Double Video Rec. Button

To enhance usability during video shoots, the camera features two red Video Rec. Buttons on the top and front. For example, a user can have the camera on a shoulder rig and support it with the right hand while pushing the button on the front with the left hand to start and stop shooting.

Operation Lock Lever

The Operation Lock Lever can freeze the operation of buttons and dials to prevent unintentional operation. Users can selectively freeze the Front Dial, Rear Dial, Joystick, Cursor Button, and Touch Screen in any combination.

Wireless Remote Control Using LUMIX Sync

Using Wi-Fi 5GHz (IEEE802.11ac) and Bluetooth 4.2 (Low Energy) this feature allows you to connect your camera to a smartphone or tablet, send photos to these devices, and control your LUMIX S1H remotely. With Panasonic’s LUMIX Sync app (Android / iOS), you can remotely control the shutter of your camera and access a wide range of photographic settings. You can even use LUMIX Sync to copy settings from one camera to another,* which is useful when managing multiple cameras in a shoot.

* Copying must done between cameras of the same model.
