Panasonic Lumix S5 II Mirrorless Camera
Built for creators who demand excellence in both stills and video, the Panasonic Lumix S5 II marks a major evolution in the Lumix lineup. Featuring a newly developed full-frame sensor and an advanced processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 II becomes the first Lumix camera to introduce Phase Hybrid Autofocus, delivering faster, more reliable subject tracking for photos and video alike.
At its core is a 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor that balances high resolution, wide dynamic range, and strong low-light performance. With ISO sensitivity expandable up to 204800, fast continuous shooting up to 9 fps (mechanical) or 30 fps (electronic), and a 96MP High Resolution mode, the S5 II is equally capable of capturing detailed still images and fast-moving action.
Advanced Video Performance
Designed with filmmakers in mind, the S5 II offers 6K recording up to 30p and unlimited DCI/UHD 4K recording up to 60p in 10-bit color. Support for V-Log, 14+ stops of dynamic range, and Dual Native ISO ensures clean footage with rich tonal depth in any lighting condition. High-frame-rate recording up to 120p enables smooth slow-motion capture, while optional HDMI RAW output expands post-production flexibility.
To support extended recording sessions, Panasonic integrates an active cooling fan, allowing long or unlimited takes without thermal shutdown—an industry-first feature in this class.
Phase Hybrid AF & Professional Stabilization
The new Phase Hybrid AF system uses 779 phase-detection points to deliver confident, precise autofocus with improved subject recognition and tracking, even in complex or low-light scenes. This makes the S5 II a dependable choice for interviews, events, and run-and-gun production.
For handheld shooting, Dual I.S. 2 provides up to 6.5 stops of image stabilization, while the newly developed Active I.S. mode further reduces shake during walking or moving shots—ideal for vloggers and documentary creators.
Refined Design & Professional Connectivity
The S5 II features a rugged magnesium alloy body with dust- and splash-resistant construction, ready for demanding environments. A 3.68-million-dot OLED EVF with selectable 60/120 fps refresh rates and a fully articulating 3.0" touchscreen LCD provides clear, flexible viewing from any angle.
Connectivity is built for modern workflows, including dual UHS-II SD card slots, full-size HDMI-A, USB-C with PD charging, dedicated microphone and headphone jacks, and support for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi via the Lumix Sync app for remote control and wireless transfer.
Expanded Creative Tools
Additional features enhance creative control and efficiency:
- Real-time LUT color grading in-camera
- Live cropping for dynamic pans and zooms during video recording
- Wide selection of aspect ratios, including panoramic formats
- Advanced audio recording up to 4-channel, 24-bit with optional XLR adapter
Blending cutting-edge autofocus, unlimited video recording, and a compact full-frame design, the Panasonic Lumix S5 II is a powerful, future-ready hybrid camera built to keep pace with modern creators.
