Advanced features such as PDAF and I. S. (image stabilization) makes using the LUMIX S5II a truly satisfying experience. Take high-quality photos and videos with unlimited recording and enjoy enhanced mobility with this compact full-frame mirrorless camera. The all-black design of the LUMIX S5II is designed to encourage creators to focus fully on capturing the subject without the distraction of specific tools being used. It is designed to blend in with the environment during shooting and to cancel out reflections on the aperture or recording medium to promote artistic creativity.


Phase Hybrid AF lets you shoot continuously with speed and precision, while the LUMIX S5II's highly advanced AF pushes the boundaries of sports, nature and car or motorcycle photography. In addition, the pre-burst shooting function allows you to go back in time.
*To use the animal/car/motorcycle eye recognition and pre-burst shooting function, update the firmware to version 3.0.

The most important thing about autofocus is that it is reliable. It's all about how quickly and faithfully you can capture your subject. In addition to contrast autofocus, the LUMIX S5II is a mirrorless camera that offers phase detection autofocusing. which greatly improves object tracking and light recognition. The camera can capture the subject even in challenging multi-subject scenes and provides accuracy even in low-light or backlit environments.

Phase Hybrid Autofocus lets you shoot continuously fast and accurately, and the highly advanced autofocus of the LUMIX S5IIX pushes the boundaries in sports, wildlife and car/motorcycle photography. Added "airplane" and "train" to the subject recognition functions, so you can easily capture an even wider range of scenes*. In addition, the pre-burst shooting function allows you to go back in time.
*To use the animal/car/motorcycle/airplane/train eye recognition and pre-burst shooting function, update the firmware to version 3.2.
*Depending on the settings, some objects may not be recognized. The camera can sometimes recognize some objects as animals.

The number of AF points has been increased to 779. Improved tracking performance allows the camera to capture even small objects that are easy to blur. Even when using the 1 area AF function, the AF frame can be adjusted down to the pinpoint level, helping the filmmaker focus on the subject as intended. 5-axis dual I. S. 2 (image stabilizer) combines the control of B functions. I. S. and Lens O. I. S. and offers a correction of up to 6.5 steps. *
*Based on the CIPA standard [lateral/longitudinal direction: focal length f=200 mm when using the S-E70200. ]

LUMIX has long provided support for handheld photography with Image Stabilizer B. I. S. and 5-axis dual stabilizer I. S.2. LUMIX S5II is equipped with Active I. S., which supports shooting while walking and takes image stabilization in video recording to a new level. Active I. S. determines the camera shake condition and optimizes correction ratios to compensate of both expressive movement and advanced E. I. S. * suppresses peripheral distortion that occurs when shooting video. So now you can take beautiful pictures even if you have to move quickly while the camera is in motion.
*Please update firmware to version 3.0.

The proxy function records a low bit rate proxy file when recording video. Simultaneous upload of a proxy file that is linked to the original video recordingwhich enables faster production from creation to publication. *

The LUMIX S5II delivers uncompromising image quality with a combination of high resolution and phase detection autofocus. The S5II uses Dual Native ISO technology, familiar to users of Panasonic Varicam professional models, and uses dual base ISO settings to minimize noise and maximize image quality from low to high sensitivity. The feature works with the system to achieve a maximum ISO of 51200 / extended ISO 204800, minimizes noise at high sensitivities, and renders dark areas of the image beautifully. Wherever professional low-light performance is needed, the LUMIX S5II is ready for action.

The new system provides approximately twice the computing power of before, enabling high-speed, higher-resolution, higher-bit-rate video processing. It features technology invested in and jointly developed by LEICA and LUMIX. The combination of the new sensor and motor enables phase-detection autofocusing and high image quality for stills and video

The pre-installed V-Log and V-Gamut modes are compatible with Cinema VariCam Look, offering more than 14 steps of dynamic range and a very wide colour spectrum. Users will appreciate incredibly accurate colour reproduction, smooth transitions from dark areas to bright light and precise colour management capabilities in post-production. The end result is a more creative output with better colour expression. Plus, you can easily edit footage from the LUMIX S5II together with footage from VariCam cameras. The LUMIX S5II's V-Log offers more than 14 steps of dynamic range, matching the PQ requirements of HDR, while V-Gamut covers the full HDR colour spectrum, giving users access to HDR technology wherever they are when shooting.

Photos and videos applied with LUT can be recorded internally without the use of special software. Even if you don't have specialized editing skills, the camera can help you expand your expressive capabilities as much as you want. Live View Composite is ideal for capturing images of the night sky with light paths of stars or fireworks. The camera takes several images and only those images where the brightness varies are composited into a composite image. Each time the shutter is released, a composite image is displayed so the user can see the result in real time.

With the new sensor's faster readout speed and the new system's higher processing power, the LUMIX S5II delivers sequential AFC shooting via electronic shutter with 30 frames per second at 24.2 megapixels. The faster sensor reading speed also minimizes shutter movement. Firmware version 3.0 offers advanced flexibility to set the pre-burst effect to 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 seconds. Now you'll never miss a crucial moment in even the most dynamic situations, from the flap of a bird's wings to an unexpected play on the field.

In high-resolution mode, the camera automatically takes consecutive images as the sensor shifts and high-speed signal processing seamlessly synthesizes them into a 96 megapixel (12,000 x 8,000 pixel) equivalent image. It allows you to capture beautiful natural scenery and detailed artwork in ultra-high resolution. The LUMIX S5II supports RAW file recording, JPEG file recording and RAW processing during playback with quick access from the control mode dial. With firmware version 2.2, the shutter speed in high resolution mode can now be set to max. 8 seconds using long exposure noise reduction. Handheld High-Res* mode has been added with Image Stabilizer, allowing you to capture higher resolution images without the use of a tripod
*In Handheld High-Res mode, the shutter speed can be set to max. One second.

Slow motion HFR recording, a recent trend in video production, is made possible by 10-bit FHD 120p/100p video recording with audio. Or capture high-resolution C4K/4K 10-bit (4:3) and 3.3K 10-bit (4:3) video at 48p. You can even shoot double slow motion video at a cinematic 24p frame rate. Allows AF tracking during HFR video recording. It offers up to 7.5x super slow motion video recording (FHD 24p/180sn. /s) at 10 bits. The LUMIX S5II features slow-motion and fast-motion modes, allowing you to easily rewind or rewind video while shooting. With accelerated motion up to 60x (C4K/4K/FHD 60p/1fps), the S5II allows you to create emotional images or smoothly capture dynamic movements that are too fast for the naked eye.

The LUMIX S5II provides much better audio recording performance with the option of 4-channel 48kHz or 96kHz 24-bit recording* when the XLR Microphone Adapter DMW-XLR1 or XLR2* (sold separately) is connected. The LUMIX S5II provides much more flexibility when shooting outdoors, for example in places where multiple sound sources are present or when recording backup audio. It now also supports 2-channel 48kHz 24-bit recording with built-in microphone and 2-channel 96kHz 24-bit high-resolution recording** with external microphone (sold separately).
