More details of full-frame Lumix S range
FOLLOWING the development announcement at last year’s Photokina, Panasonic has revealed some key features of its new Lumix S1 and S1R full-frame mirrorless cameras at the CES consumer electronics show in Las Vegas.
The company claims a ‘new style of photo expression’ is made possible by HLG Photo Mode, with images offering a very high dynamic range. The resultant images are saved as an HSP file which can be viewed on the latest Panasonic HLG- compliant 4KTV via HDMI cable connection or other HLG- compliant devices. There’s also High Resolution Mode, which takes advantage of in-body stabilisation to enable eight consecutive images to be shot while shifting the sensor; the eight shots are processed into one image. ‘ This mode is ideal for taking natural landscapes or fine-art objects,’ says Panasonic, adding that this mode can also be used with moving subjects. The Lumix S range is the fruit of the L- Mount Alliance with Leica and Sigma, and will be available with 50mm f/1.4, 24-105mm, and 70-200mm lenses from the end of March.
