<field name="s1img[]" label="Image 1" type="media" directory="Images" />      
<field name="imgSetting[]" type="text" default="" label="Image Setting" description="" size="60"/>

<field name="s1img[]" label="Image 2" type="media" directory="Images" />
<field name="imgSetting[]" type="text" default="" label="Image Setting" description="" size="60"/>

<field name="s1img[]" label="Image 3" type="media" directory="Images" />
<field name="imgSetting[]" type="text" default="" label="Image Setting" description="" size="60"/>

Sadly, this is not how it works in Joomla. Your fields have to have unique names.

If you only have these 3 fields, I would suggest to name your fields s1img_1, imgSetting_1, s1img_2, ... This will make things easier to save into database as well.

If the number of fields will by dynamic, you should consider using the new subform field type. This allows you to build repeatable form fields.

  • Why one array? You can't save arrays directly into database either. But you could override your models save and load functions to save and load all 3 values into/from one database field. – fruppel Sep 27 '16 at 13:00
