Panasonic S5 II X+20-60mm

Features of the PANASONIC S5 II X

Designed for professional content creators who need solid still images, sophisticated video options and live streaming functionality, the second-generation Lumix S5 IIX PANASONIC mirrorless camera is equipped with a host of new features to make your vision a reality. Benefiting from a new sensor design and an updated processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 IIX is the first Lumix camera to offer Phase Hybrid AF for fast and accurate autofocus performance. Taking full advantage of the 24.2MP sensor and upgraded processor, this camera records 6K video for up to 30 minutes, while unlimited 4K video capture is also available. Optimized for video, the S5 IIX is also equipped with a new Active I.S. that supports walking shots to further improve image stabilization during video recording.

Unique to the advanced S5 IIX, this model comes preloaded with sophisticated video features that benefit the professional user. These include HDMI RAW video data output, USB-SSD recording, ALL-Intra recording, and ProRes recording. Live streaming functionality is also standard, and the S5 IIX offers wireless IP streaming, USB connection to smartphones, and wired IP transmission. In addition, this camera is the first Lumix camera to feature a refined and stealthy all-black design.

New sensor and processing engine
With an improved 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor and an updated image processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 IIX's sensor incorporates a newly developed Phase Hybrid AF system, a first for Lumix series cameras, which provides 779 phase detection points for enhanced subject tracking. Balancing high sensitivity and wide dynamic range, the sensor provides a useful ISO 100-51200 range, which can be expanded to ISO 50-204800 to work in a variety of lighting conditions. Well-equipped for action and fast-moving subjects, the S5 IIX also allows you to shoot at full resolution up to 9fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 30fps with the electronic shutter. In addition, the S5 IIX uses 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 and accurate color image than a single shot can produce and produces an image with a resolution of 12000 x 8000 pixels.

6K and 4K video recording
In addition to still images, the S5 IIX features high-capacity video recording assets. 6K30p full-frame recording with 10-bit 4:2:0 color can be captured for up to 30 minutes, while unlimited video recording is possible when shooting in DCI mode and UHD 4K60p 4:2:2 10-bit. The camera supports 120p video capture for videographers who want to create high-resolution slow-motion video, and HDMI RAW output is possible through an optional license upgrade. V-Log has been pre-installed on this camera and is used to capture a flat and neutral gamma curve and a dynamic range equivalent to more than 14 stops provides precise control of color data in post-production, as well as seamless editing with footage shots. with VariCam cameras.

Borrowing from PANASONIC's line of streaming camcorders, Dual Native ISO helps achieve a balanced combination of low noise and high sensitivity to best suit work 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.

Features of the PANASONIC S 20-60mm f3.5-5.6 lens

A unique zoom spanning fields of view from portrait to wide-angle to short, the Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 PANASONIC is a sleek and versatile lens designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. The distinctive range of focal lengths is also complemented by flexible focusing capabilities, which allow working with subjects as close as 5.9" at 0.43x magnification for near-macro performance. In terms of optics, the lens incorporates a series of high aspherical index refraction and low dispersion elements to control a variety of aberrations and achieve a high degree of clarity and sharpness. A fluorine coating has been applied to the front element to reduce stains and facilitate cleaning, and then the lens also features a weather seal. Designed to work in harsh environmental conditions. In addition, for photo and video applications, a stepper motor is introduced, offering fast, accurate and almost silent autofocus performance.

• The wide-to-short telephoto zoom is designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, however it can also be used with APS-C models, where it provides an equivalent focal length range of 30-90mm.

• Two aspherical elements and one ultra-high refractive index (UHR) element help minimize spherical distortions and aberrations throughout the zoom range to maintain sharpness and illumination from edge to edge.

• Three extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color stripes to produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.

• The progressive AF motor delivers fast, quiet focusing performance that benefits both photo and video applications.

• The maximum magnification of 0.43x and a minimum focusing distance of 5.9" benefits working with foreground subjects.

• The AF/MF switch allows quick switching between focus modes.

• Splash, dust and freeze proof design works in harsh weather conditions up to 14°F.

• Fluorine coating has been applied to the front element to prevent dirt and oils from adhering to the lens.

• The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.
