Doug Jensen's Panasonic Lumix S1H Master Class
Panasonic has taken the image quality and most of the advanced features and functions of their cinema cameras and rolled them into a small, lightweight, inexpensive 6K full-frame mirrorless camera. The S1H is the first mirrorless camera or DSLR that is truly built with the needs of professional video, film, television production in mind. However, like any professional camera of this caliber, the S1H is extremely complex and has a steep learning curve. And that’s why this Master Class has been created by Vortex Media to help S1H owner/operators get started off on the right foot. This 4-hour training video series is the most thorough and efficient way to learn both the fundamentals and advanced features of Panasonic's revolutionary DC-S1H.
In the no-nonsense style for which Doug is known, he cuts through the clutter of confusing, misunderstood, and poorly documented features. He demystifies the camera, explains how its functions actually work, and provides practical, step-by-step instruction for putting them to use. Along the way, he shares proven techniques and advanced tips that can improve the quality of your footage, streamline your workflow, and make you a more efficient and productive operator.
INDEPENDENT AND UNBIASED: This Master Class is a completely independent production by Vortex Media. It is not sponsored, endorsed, approved, or influenced by Panasonic. You’ll get straightforward, unbiased information and professional advice based on Doug Jensen’s decades of experience—not a marketing presentation.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Doug Jensen, a veteran director of photography, cinematographer, and educator, has created more than two dozen Sony, Panasonic, and Canon camcorder training videos and books. In this Master Class, Doug takes you through your camera’s major features and functions using the straightforward, practical teaching style for which he is known. Doug doesn’t simply tell you what a feature does. He explains why it matters, when you should use it, and how to use it effectively in real-world production. He also shares his favorite custom settings, professional best practices, advanced techniques, and dozens of tips and tricks developed from decades of experience behind the camera. Think of it as having a private, one-on-one training session with Doug Jensen—without the expense or inconvenience of hiring him for personal instruction.
