Designed for content creators needing strong stills and
video performance, the second-generation Panasonic Lumix S5 II
Mirrorless Camera is equipped with a host of new features to bring
your vision to life. Benefitting from a new sensor design and an updated
processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 II is the first Lumix camera to
offer Phase Hybrid AF for fast and precise autofocusing performance. Making
full use of the 24.2MP sensor and enhanced processor, this camera records 6K
video for up to 30 minutes, while unlimited 4K video capture is available as
well. Optimized for video, the S5 II is also equipped with a new Active I.S.
system, which supports walking shots to further enhance image stabilisation
while recording video.
New Sensor and Processing Engine
Featuring an upgraded full-frame 24.2MP CMOS sensor and an
updated image processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 II's sensor
incorporates a newly-developed Phase Hybrid AF system — a first for
Lumix-series cameras — providing 779 phase-detection points for
significantly-improved subject tracking. Balancing high sensitivity and a wide
dynamic range, the sensor provides a useful ISO 100-51200 range, which can be
expanded to ISO 50-204800 for working in a variety of lighting conditions.
Well-equipped for action and fast-moving subjects, the S5 II also enables
full-res shooting at up to 9 fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 30 fps
with the electronic shutter. Additionally, the S5 II utilizes sensor-shift
stabilization technology and features a High Resolution mode to capture and
compile eight separate exposures to create a single 96MP raw or JPEG file.
Suitable for static subjects and when working on a tripod, this mode creates a
more highly detailed and color accurate image than a single shot alone can
produce and produces an image with a 12000 x 8000-pixel resolution.
6K and 4K Video Recording
In addition to stills, the S5 II sports highly capable video
recording assets. Full-frame 6K30p recording with 4:2:0 10-bit color can be
captured for up to 30 minutes, while unlimited video recording is possible when
filming in DCI and UHD 4K60p 4:2:2 10-bit mode. The camera supports 120p video
capture for videographers who want to create high-resolution slow-motion video,
and RAW HDMI output is possible via an optional license upgrade. V-Log has been
pre-installed on this camera and is used to capture a flat, neutral gamma curve
and an equivalent 14+ stops of dynamic range provides precise control of color
data in post-production, as well as seamless editing with footage shot with
VariCam cameras.
Borrowing from Panasonic's broadcast line of video cameras,
Dual Native ISO helps to achieve a balanced combination of low noise and high
sensitivity to better suit working in a variety of lighting conditions. Two
dedicated circuits are provided for each pixel: a Low ISO circuit provides base
sensitivities of ISO 100 for normal use, ISO 640 when V-Log is applied, ISO 400
when HLG is applied, and ISO 200 when Cinelike D2/V2 is applied; a Low Noise
circuit provides base sensitivities of ISO 640 for normal use, ISO 4000 when
V-Log is applied, ISO 2500 when HLG is applied, and ISO 1250 when Cinelike
D2/V2 is applied.
Phase Hybrid AF System
The S5 II is the first Lumix mirrorless camera to adopt a
Phase Hybrid AF system, which offers 779 phase-detection points to provide fast
and precise focusing for outstanding AF accuracy. When it comes to autofocus,
dependability is the most important thing, and with Phase Detection AF you can
fully supplement and track the subject in six different situations that until
now had been a challenge for conventional systems to capture. Whether shooting
stills or video, this means the S5 II persistently captures the intended
subject in difficult scenes involving multiple people in backlit or low-light
environments.
Dual I.S. 2 with Active I.S.
Offering comprehensive support for hand-held use, the S5 II
incorporates a Dual I.S. 2 image stabilization system, which compensates for
approximately 6.5 stops of camera shake to achieve the utmost sharpness for
handheld photography. For video applications, the camera is designed with a
newly-developed Active I.S. system for walking shots to further enhance image
stabilization while the camera is moving and recording video.
Body Design
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Bluetooth Low Energy (5.0) provides constant connection
between your smartphone or tablet with minimal power consumption. For more
robust wireless activities, IEEE 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n/ac support is also
available for faster transmission and more fluid remote control and monitoring.
Complementing the camera's wireless connectivity, Lumix Sync is an iOS and
Android app designed to pair with the camera for smartphone or tablet-based
remote shooting control, wireless image transfer, and updating firmware.
Other Camera Features
Panasonic Lumix S
20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
A unique zoom covering
ultra-wide to short portrait-length fields of view, the Panasonic Lumix
S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 is a sleek and versatile lens designed for
full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. The distinct range of focal lengths is
also complemented by flexible focusing capabilities, which permit working with
subjects as close as 5.9" with a 0.43x magnification for near-macro
performance. In terms of optics, the lens incorporates a series of aspherical,
high refractive index, and low dispersion elements to control a variety of
aberrations and realize a high degree of clarity and sharpness. A fluorine
coating has been applied to the front element to reduce smudging and make it
easier to clean and then lens also features a weather-sealed design for working
in harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, suiting both photo and video
applications, a stepping motor is featured, which affords fast, precise, and
near-silent autofocus performance.
Wide-to-short telephoto
zoom is designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be
used with APS-C models where it provides a 30-90mm equivalent focal length
range.
Two aspherical elements
and one ultra high refractive index (UHR) element, help to minimize distortions
and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to maintain
edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.
Three extra-low
dispersion elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing in
order to produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
Stepping AF motor
delivers quick and quiet focusing performance that benefits both photo and video
applications.
Maximum magnification of
0.43x and a minimum focusing distance of 5.9" benefits working with
close-up subjects.
AF/MF switch permits
quick changing between focusing modes.
Splash, dust, and freeze-proof
design benefits working in inclement weather conditions down to 14°F.
Fluorine coating has
been applied to the front element to prevent dirt and oils from sticking to
lens.
Rounded nine-blade
diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
