LUMIX S5

Perfect for Hybrid Shooting

This hybrid full-frame mirrorless camera provides exceptional image quality for photo and video across the sensitivity range within an ergonomic body designed for the quality conscious content creator.

Full-Frame 24.2MP CMOS Sensor with Dual Native ISO Technology

The CMOS sensor has been optimised to deliver exceptional image quality for both stills and video, while the Dual Native ISO provides a greater level of flexibility when shooting in lower light conditions without the usual increase in visible noise when shooting video.

Beyond Photography

Whether you prefer shooting using the full touch capabilities of the 3.0inch 1.84Mio. dot free-angle LCD – in both recording and playback modes, or the OLED live viewfinder, have confidence in what you are shooting. The time-lapse and stop-motion features offer you that little extra creativity while the improved high resolution mode photos can now be saved directly as a JPEG for extremely detailed, 96-megapixel-equivalent images for those moments when resolution is everything.

Professional Video Options

The needs of the content creator vary from job to job, the LUMIX S5 includes recording modes of 4K 60p 4:2:0 10-bit and 4K 30p 4:2:2 10-bit — plus 4K 8-bit with no limitation of video recording time. In the 10-bit setting, 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output is supported along with simultaneous external drive / SD card recording, meaning flexibility and creativity are available whenever you head out on a shoot.

Dual Image Stabilisation

Image Stabilisation is a requirement for content creators on the run. The 5-axis Dual I.S. II system combines in-body and lens stabilisation giving you up to 6.5 stops of benefit on the LUMIX S5, giving you greater confidence that you will get the shot you need.
