The V-Log
upgrade, as it is more commonly called, has been long awaited for
those who picked up or expressed interest in the S1. Since the S1 is the
more video-capable option, this upgrade is limited to it, but it does
unlock plenty of features. The top upgrade is the addition of V-Log and
V-Gamut on par with their cinema cameras. This should get filmmakers up
to a total of 15 stops of dynamic range. Also, it will allow the S1 to
record 4K video in 10-bit 4:2:2 at up to 30 fps internally and output 4K
10-bit 4:2:2 at up to 60 fps over HDMI. In bonus news, anyone who has
already picked up an S1 and registered it is eligible to receive the
upgrade for free from Panasonic. And, if you buy an S1 from now until
July 31, you will receive the upgrade for free with the camera.
In other news, 1.4x
and 2x Teleconverters are now available for the S
PRO 70-200mm f/4 Lens. This will unlock more super-telephoto focal
lengths for S Series shooters. With the 1.4x, users will enjoy a
98-280mm range, while the 2x will boost it to 140-400mm. They do cost 1
stop and 2 stops of light, respectively, but they are a nice addition to
the growing line of S Series optics.
