If you like photography, you must be inseparable from photography equipment. As a "high fever patient" who has been high fever for more than 30 years and has not yet recovered, it can be said that there are many photography equipment that have been used and exposed to. In addition to the Canon that I have never given up over the years, from the expensive Leica , Hasselblad to the professional Nikon , Sony , Fuji, and the niche Olympus and other cameras, it can be said that they have more or less used or experienced cameras, but only Panasonic, because there is no specialty and experience store in Shanxi, it has never had the opportunity to contact and experience it in person. It can be said that this is also a regret in my amateur photography.

However, just this year, I saw a message on the Toutiao website, that is, Toutiao will jointly launch a camera activity called "Panas Camera Drifting Plan" with Panasonic Image. It will select 30 participants from the work collection nationwide through the form of work collection, and provide them with a one-month free use of the Panasonic full-frame flagship micro-single S1R package worth 40,000 yuan.

Faced with this rare opportunity, I carefully selected my work with a positive and serious attitude, posted it on the website as required, and finally I was honored to be one of the experiencers. As the first batch of experiencers, I got the combination of Panasonic S1R full-frame camera + 70-300mm zoom lens as I wished during the National Day.

Received the express and opened the packaging. The first impression this camera gave me was dignity, atmosphericity and masculine. Compared with the Canon R5 camera I am using now, its appearance is angular and angular, and the volume is obviously larger. As a full-frame micro single camera , I think it feels a little different from "micro" in terms of weight and volume alone, but for me, who is tall, fat and big palms, holding it in my hand will give me the feeling of steady hand holding and easy handling.

According to the information given by the manufacturer, the Panasonic S1R camera uses CMOS sensor with a full frame of 47.3 million effective pixels. Its native sensitivity is ISO100-25600 and can expand ISO50-51200. The height of the body is 110mm, the width is 48.9mm, and the length is 96.7mm. The weight with an SD card and battery is 1,016g (the weight with an XQD card and battery is 1,020g). It can be said that its size and weight are one of the large and heavy micro-single products currently on sale, which is still a test for users with weak hands.
Judging from the experience in the past month, thanks to the CMOS sensor and Venus engine used by this camera, the color details and natural texture performance of the works they shot left me with excellent impression. Its unique three-dimensional color control technology allows the works to present rich colors from the dark to the bright parts, and even with high sensitivity settings, it also shows excellent image quality.

is an important measurement indicator for micro-single cameras. In terms of anti-shake, it uses the combination of the body I.S. (5-axis) in the camera and the anti-shake function of the LUMIX S series lens, thus achieving the ability to use 7 The possibility of shooting with slower shutter speeds. In several shootings, in order to verify the performance of its anti-shake function and to meet the requirements of photography creation, facing the bird standing in the running water, I have held the camera many times, and used slow doors to perform bird static shooting and video shooting, both of which have achieved good results. This can be said that for shooting in low light, it can effectively reduce people's laziness in tripod , and bring great convenience to handheld shooting and video creation.
Super anti-shake performance
This time, the manufacturer provided a 70-300mm lens. Facing this lens, I really lost the shooting target. Take pictures of urban buildings. As a small prefecture-level city, there are few landmark buildings that make people feel shocking to shoot and display, and as a medium-telephoto zoom lens, it is difficult to play a role in a narrow urban environment. Take some portraits on the street, but now I don’t want to communicate with others, and I am afraid of causing unnecessary trouble because of infringing on other people’s portrait rights. Let’s go out to shoot the scenery, and encountered the 7-day rainy days and the outbreaks of the National Day. It can be said that it is difficult to take the opportunity to shoot. In the end, I had to focus my experience on the birds by the Fen River in the city.

To be honest, bird shooting requires relatively high equipment. It requires the camera not only to have high enough pixels and strong enough focus performance, but also to have fast continuous shooting speeds. The performance of this camera in these aspects is unquestionable. In addition to up to 47.3 million pixels, it also uses advanced recognition technology to achieve high-speed and high-precision automatic focus of about 0.08 seconds. In particular, advanced AI technology can not only recognize human bodies, but also animals such as canines, felines and birds, while high-performance tracking systems can keep subjects focused at all times. At the same time, it adopts a new autofocus mode, with nine autofocus modes for the photographer to select and use in actual shooting. The joystick on the back of the machine can intuitively select the focus area with just a thumb, so that the selected focus area can move freely in up to 8 directions, so that the focus point or focus area can quickly reach the position you want, greatly facilitating the needs of bird shooting.

For example, in actual shooting, facing static birds, I chose more single-point focus mode, and through joystick control, its focus point is directly locked on the subject being shot. For birds flying in the air, I choose to use wide area autofocus more, which greatly ensures the success rate of shooting bird works. At the same time, in order to allow photography enthusiasts to better capture the most beautiful moments, it also adopts its own unique "6K Photo" continuous shooting function, allowing the creator to take out static photos of about 18 million pixels (about 6000 x 3000 effective pixels) from 6K 4:3 or 3:2 video clips to ensure that a wonderful picture is not missed. However, this function is not thoroughly studied or otherwise. The shots cannot be viewed and intercepted on the computer, and can only be selected and saved through playback on the camera. I hope this question can be answered in the next user experience.
more than 0 focus modes
As bird photography, considering the safe distance between birds and people, a telephoto lens with a focal length of about 600mm is the most ideal bird shooting lens. However, since the longest focal length of the zoom lens provided this time is only 300mm, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects in the shooting. Thanks to its 47.3 million high pixels, the cropped part basically meets its own shooting requirements.
Handheld shooting shutter speed: 1/5s Aperture value: F9.0 Focal length: 300mm Sensitivity: ISO100 Exposure compensation: 0.0
Handheld shooting Shutter speed: 1/10s Aperture value: F11.0 Focal length: 266mm Sensitivity: ISO100 Exposure compensation: 0.0
From the experience process in the past month, I think this is a camera with reasonable function key distribution and strong control (those with small hands may feel uncomfortable). It has high pixels, good picture quality, strong focus performance, accurate color restoration, and has the functions of most camera applications on the market. It is a trustworthy and lazy professional camera. However, the main problem at present is that the lens system is not perfect enough, so it is still difficult to support shooting of some special subjects, and further increase the R&D and production capacity of the lens is needed.Second, the product positioning is not clear enough, and the product price must be relatively high. In terms of the current product popularity and market occupation rate, I think the price should be used as a breakthrough in terms of price to attract the attention of photography enthusiasts with better cost-effectiveness.
The experience process is short-lived, and the harvest of experience is happy. Although it only took one month, I had a more intuitive understanding of the characteristics, performance and imaging quality of Panasonic cameras, which gave me a clear understanding of it. I hope I can have the opportunity to have a deeper and more detailed understanding of Panasonic and Panasonic.
