PANASONIC Lumix DC-S5 Mark II + 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S
Designed for content creators who need strong photos 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. Benefiting from a new sensor design and an upgraded processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 II is the first Lumix camera to offer Phase Hybrid AF for fast and accurate autofocus 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 also available. The S5 II is also equipped with a new Active IS system, which supports walking shots to further improve image stabilization during video recording
New sensor and processing engine
Featuring an upgraded 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor and an upgraded image processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 II's sensor incorporates a newly developed Hybrid Phase AF system – a first for the 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 range of ISO 100-51200, 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 allows you to shoot at full resolution up to 9 fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 30 fps with the electronic shutter. 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 detailed, color-accurate image than a single photo can produce and produces an image with a resolution of 12,000 x 8,000 pixels.
6K and 4K video recording
In addition to stills, the S5 II has highly capable video recording capabilities. 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 shooting 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 HDMI RAW 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 more than 14 equivalent dynamic range points that provide precise control of color data in post-production, as well as seamless editing with the footage. with VariCam cameras.
Inspired by Panasonic's line of broadcast video cameras, Dual Native ISO helps achieve a balanced combination of low noise and high sensitivity to best suit working in a variety of lighting conditions. Two dedicated circuitry is provided for each pixel: a low ISO circuit provides basic 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 basic 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, accurate focusing for excellent AF accuracy. When it comes to autofocus, reliability is the most important thing, and with phase-detection AF you can complement and fully track the subject in six different situations that until now were challenging Whether you're taking photos or videos, this means the S5 II persistently captures your intended subject in difficult scenes involving multiple people in backlit or low-light environments.
Dual IS 2 with Active IS
Offering comprehensive support for handheld use, the S5 II incorporates a Dual IS 2 image stabilization system, which compensates for approximately 6.5 stops of camera shake for maximum sharpness for handheld photography. For video applications, the camera is designed with a newly developed Active IS system for hiking shots to further improve image stabilization while the camera is moving and recording video.
Body Design
- Used in conjunction with other members of the L-Mount Alliance, the L-mount lens mount is a versatile interface with a mounting diameter of 51.6mm and a flange distance of 20mm to work with a wide range of optics. In addition, this camera allows the use of all classic and modern anamorphic lenses that have been in use for over 60 years.
- A high-resolution 3.68m-dot OLED EVF offers a sharp 0.78x magnification along with a smooth, variable refresh rate of 60fps or 120fps.
- The large 3.0" 1.84m-dot LCD is a bright and clear medium for live view capture, as well as playback and menu navigation. The screen features a free-angle design to suit high, low, and front angle work, and its touchscreen design allows for intuitive control of settings.
- An 8-way joystick and an easy-to-use menu design allow for quick and efficient operation.
- A USB-C port allows for fast file transfer as well as high-speed battery charging on the camera. In addition, a new full-size HDMI-A port benefits video applications, a 2.5mm port can be used with the optional DMW-RS2 remote shutter, and 3.5mm microphone and headphone jacks meet advanced audio recording needs.
- Dual SD memory card slots – both UHS-II compatible – offer greater flexibility for image storage, allowing you to separate raw and JPEG files on different cards, save duplicate files on both cards, or simply double your storage space with overflow recording.
- An industry first, the S5 II utilizes a built-in cooling fan to suppress the camera's internal temperature for extended or unlimited recording.
- A robust magnesium alloy body with a dust and splash resistant design accommodates work in harsh weather conditions and harsh environments.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Bluetooth Low Energy (5.0) provides constant connection between your smartphone or tablet with minimal power consumption.
