Designed for content creators needing strong stills and video performance, the second-generation Panasonic LUMIX S5 II Mirrorless Camera is equipped with a host of new features to bring your vision to life. Benefiting from 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 autofocusing 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 available as well. Optimized for video, the S5 II is also equipped with a new Active I.S. system, which supports walking shots to further enhance image stabilization while recording video.

New Sensor and Processing Engine
Featuring an upgraded full-frame 24.2MP 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—providing 779 phase-detection points for significantly improved subject tracking. Balancing high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range, the sensor provides a useful ISO 100-51200 range, expandable 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 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 into a single 96MP raw or JPEG file. Suitable for static subjects and tripod use, this mode produces highly detailed and color-accurate images at 12000 x 8000 resolution.

6K and 4K Video Recording
In addition to stills, the S5 II offers advanced video capabilities. Full-frame 6K30p recording with 4:2:0 10-bit color can be captured for up to 30 minutes, while unlimited recording is possible in DCI and UHD 4K60p 4:2:2 10-bit modes. The camera supports 120p video capture for high-resolution slow-motion footage, and RAW HDMI output is available via an optional license upgrade. V-Log comes pre-installed, enabling flat gamma capture and more than 14 stops of dynamic range for precise color grading and seamless integration with VariCam footage.

With Dual Native ISO technology, the camera balances low noise and high sensitivity:
Low ISO circuit: ISO 100 (standard), 640 (V-Log), 400 (HLG), 200 (Cinelike D2/V2)
Low Noise circuit: ISO 640 (standard), 4000 (V-Log), 2500 (HLG), 1250 (Cinelike D2/V2)

Phase Hybrid AF System
The S5 II is the first LUMIX mirrorless camera to feature Phase Hybrid AF, offering 779 phase-detection points for fast and accurate focusing. It enables reliable subject tracking in complex scenarios such as multiple subjects, backlit environments, or low-light scenes.

Dual I.S. 2 with Active I.S.
The Dual I.S. 2 system compensates for up to 6.5 stops of camera shake for sharp handheld images.
For video, the Active I.S. system enhances stabilization while moving and recording.
