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.

Pro-level video features

• Offering improved performance and ease of use, the S5 IIX provides HDMI RAW video data output.
• For videographers who want to improve efficiency in data backup and post-processing, recording and playback are supported by an external SSD via USB. ALL-Intra recording and ProRes recording are also supported.
• Designed for modern users and content creators, the camera enables wireless IP transmission, USB connection to smartphones, and wired IP transmission.

Highlights of the Objective PANASONIC S 50mm f1.8

Sleek and agile, the Lumix 50mm f1.8 PANASONIC has been designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, the Lumix S 50mm f/1.8  PANASONIC is a sleek and compact standard-length main camera. Its 50mm focal length is ideal for portraits, landscapes and multi-purpose shooting and provides a modestly bright f/1.8 maximum aperture for shallow depth-of-field control. An extra-low dispersion element and an ultra-high refractive index element reduce chromatic aberration and color stripes to improve color clarity and accuracy, and the lens also provides excellent sharpness. A linear autofocus motor suppresses focus breathing and delivers smooth, precise and near-silent focusing performance. Built for harsh environmental conditions, the lens also features a dust, moisture and freeze resistant design.

• Standard length lens designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras can also be used on APS-C models, where it provides a focal length equivalent to 75mm.
• The bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 offers control over depth of field and adapts to working in low-light conditions.
• Three aspherical lenses including an extra-low dispersion element and an ultra-high refractive index element reduce chromatic aberration and color striping to improve color clarity and accuracy.
• The linear autofocus motor suppresses focus breathing and delivers smooth, accurate and near-silent focusing performance.
• For the benefit of professional video applications, linear focus ring control for mechanical focus tracking systems moves focus at a constant speed according to the angle of rotation of the focus ring.
• High-resolution sharpness and performance to support 4K video.
• Smooth exposure changes via microstep aperture control for video applications.
• The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality when employing selective focusing techniques.
• Dust, moisture and freeze resistant design for added protection from the elements.
