Panasonic S5 II X + 50mm

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.

The main features of the PANASONIC 50mm f1.4 lens

At the heart of the new lenses for the LUMIX S series is the new 50mm F/1.4 LUMIX S PRO lens. This lens has a large aperture lens with a focal length considered "standard" for Full-Frame, which offers a very high resolution and incredible sharpness from the center to the corners, even when used completely open. The design of the optics and the use of an 11-blade iris provides a totally smooth focus transition and, exceptionally, attractive bokeh. It consists of 13 elements divided into 11 groups, 2 aspherical lenses and 3 extra-low dispersion lenses that are used to prevent chromatic aberrations
