Designed for content creators who demand high-performance stills and video, the second-generation Panasonic Lumix S5 II Mirrorless Camera boasts a suite of new features to bring your vision to life. Featuring a new sensor design and an updated processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 II is the first Lumix camera to offer Phase Hybrid AF for fast and precise 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. Optimized for video, the S5 II also features a new Active IS system, which supports on-the-move shooting to further improve image stabilization when recording video.

New Sensor and Processing Engine
Featuring an updated 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor and an updated image processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 II's sensor incorporates a newly developed Phase Hybrid AF system—a first for Lumix series cameras—that provides 779 phase detection points for greatly improved subject tracking. Balancing high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range, the sensor provides a useful ISO 100-51200 range, 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 enables full-resolution stills shooting at up to 9 fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 30 fps with the electronic shutter. Additionally, 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. Suited for static subjects and when working on a tripod, this mode creates a more detailed and color-accurate image than what a single shot can produce, and it produces an image with a 12000 x 8000-pixel resolution.

6K and 4K Video Recording
In addition to stills, the S5 II sports highly capable video recording assets. Full-frame 6K30p 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 modes. The camera supports 120p video capture for videographers who desire to create high-resolution slow-motion video, and raw HDMI 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 an equivalent of 14+ stops of dynamic range provides precise control over color data in post-production, as well as seamless editing with footage shot with VariCam cameras.
Borrowing from Panasonic's broadcast video camera line, Dual Native ISO helps achieve a balanced combination of low noise and high sensitivity to better suit working 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.

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 and precise focusing for exceptional AF accuracy. When it comes to autofocus, reliability is of utmost importance, and with phase-detection AF, you can fully integrate and track your subject in six different situations that until now have been a challenge for conventional systems to capture. Whether shooting stills or video, this means the S5 II consistently captures the intended subject in difficult scenes involving multiple people in backlit environments or with low light.

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 the sharpest photography handheld. For video applications, the camera is designed with a newly developed Active IS system for on-the-move shooting to further enhance image stabilization while the camera moves and records 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 51.6mm flange diameter and a 20mm flange distance to work with a wide range of optics. Additionally, this camera allows the use of all classic and modern anamorphic lenses in use for over 60 years.
A high-resolution 3.68m-dot OLED EVF offers a clear 0.78x magnification along with a variable refresh rate of 60 fps or 120 fps.
The large 3.0″ 1.84m-dot LCD is a bright and clear medium for live view shooting, as well as for playback and menu navigation. The screen features a free-angle design to suit working from high, low, and front-facing angles, and its touchscreen design offers intuitive control over settings.
An 8-way joystick and intuitive menu allow for quick and efficient operation.
A USB-C port enables fast file transfer and high-speed in-camera battery charging. Additionally, a new full-size HDMI-A port is useful for 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.
The dual SD memory card slots, both compatible with UHS-II, offer greater flexibility for image storage, allowing you to separate raw and JPEG files onto different cards, save duplicate files to both cards, or simply double your storage space with overflow recording.
A first in the industry, the S5 II uses an integrated cooling fan to lower the camera's internal temperature and ensure extended or unlimited recordings.
A robust magnesium alloy body with dust and splash resistance is ideal for working in harsh weather conditions and difficult environments.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Bluetooth Low Energy (5.0) provides a constant connection between your smartphone or tablet with minimal power consumption. For more robust wireless tasks, IEEE 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n/ac support is also available for faster transmission and smoother remote control and monitoring. Complementing the camera's wireless connectivity, Lumix Sync is an iOS and Android app designed for pairing with the camera for remote control of shooting via smartphone or tablet, wireless image transfer, and firmware updates.
