Introducing S5II
All New Phase Detection AutoFocus
Phase Hybrid AF for aggressive shootingThe most important thing with autofocus is to be dependable. It’s all about how quickly and faithfully you can capture the subject. In addition to contrast AF, the LUMIX S5II is the first LUMIX mirrorless camera to offer the Phase Detection AF system, which dramatically improves subject tracking and light recognition performance. The camera can capture the subject even in challenging scenes where multiple subjects are involved, delivering accuracy even in backlit or low-light environments.
779 Point AutoFocus
779-point AFThe number of AF points has been increased to 779. The improved tracking performance allows the camera to continue to capture even small subjects that are easily out of focus. Even when using 1-Area AF, the AF frame can be set as small as pinpoint level, helping the creator focus on the subject as intended.
High Precision Tracking
AI-based recognition technologyDeep Learning technology enables high-speed, high-precision recognition and tracking of humans (face, eyes, heads, and bodies) and animals (dogs, cats, and birds).
Active I.S. Technology
Great for shooting as you walkLUMIX has long supported hand-held shooting with B.I.S. and 5-Axis Dual I.S.2, and now the LUMIX S5II is equipped with Active I.S., which supports walking shots, to further enhance image stabilization in video recording. By determining the status of camera shake and optimizing correction ratios, the system can compensate for even significant camera shake, approximately 200%* more than conventional systems.

6.5-stop Dual I.S. 2 (Image Stabilizer)5-axis Dual I.S. 2 (Image Stabilizer) combines control of the B.I.S. and Lens O.I.S. to offer 6.5 stops’ worth of correction.*
*Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=200mm when S-E70200 is used.]
Photographic and visual expression to delight creators
30fps Electronic Shutter
AFC 30fps burst shootingThanks to the new sensor’s higher readout speed and new engine’s superior processing power, the LUMIX S5II delivers AFC burst shooting using the electronic shutter at 30 frames per second with 24.2-megapixel resolution. The sensor’s higher readout speed also minimizes rolling shutter distortion and captures images too fast for the naked eye to process.
96MP Pixel Shift
96MP ultra-high-resolution recordingHigh Resolution Mode allows you to shoot ultra-detailed nature shots with a tripod, as well as other works of art that combine grandeur with precision. The camera automatically captures eight consecutive images while shifting the sensor, and the new engine’s high-speed signal processing smoothly synthesizes them into a 96-megapixel equivalent (12,000 x 8,000-pixel) image. RAW and JPEG file recording during shooting and RAW processing during playback (RAW-to-JPEG conversion) are supported, with quick access via the drive mode dial.
Live View Composite
perfect for Longer ExposuresThe camera takes multiple images, creating composite images from only those areas that vary in brightness. This feature is convenient for taking images of the night sky that show the light trails of stars or fireworks. Each time the shutter is operated, a composite image is displayed, allowing users to shoot while confirming the results in real time.
*Firmware update scheduled for summer 2023.
New Heat Dissipating Design
Heat management for unlimited recording time4:2:2 10-bit C4K/4K 60p/50p unlimited recording time.* With a compact body equivalent to the S5, the LUMIX S5II’s optimized heat dissipation path and heat dissipation structure with forced cooling fan enables extended recording even when shooting at heavy loads (e.g. high-resolution video over 4K, HFR video).
*The camera may stop recording when used in a temperature that is lower or higher than the recommended operating temperature (0 to 40 degrees). Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 30 minutes in [6K/29.97p] [6K/25.00p] [5.9K/29.97p] [5.9K/25.00p] when Thermal Management mode is set to Standard.
Record 10-bit 6K Video
6K 10-bit recordingWith 6K (5952x3968, 3:2), 6K (5952x3136, 17:9) and 5.9K (5888x3312, 16:9) 4:2:0 10-bit 30p/25p/24p modes, the LUMIX S5II offers higher resolution and higher bit rates than ever before, and delivers the latest in high image quality, versatility, and expressive range needed for film, TV, and all types of video production.
Up to 120fps Video
HFR (high frame rate)Slow-motion recording, a recent trend in video production, is made possible using FHD 10-bit 120p/100p video recording with audio. Or shoot 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 the cinematic frame rate of 24p. Allows tracking AF during HFR video recording.
Super Slow Motion Shooting
Max. 7.5x slow motion and max. 60x quick motionOffers up to 7.5x super slow-motion (FHD 24p/180fps) video at 10-bit recording. Equipped with Slow & Quick Motion modes, the LUMIX S5II lets you easily overcrank or undercrank your video while shooting. With quick motion up to 60x (C4K/4K/FHD 60p/1fps), the S5II enables you to create emotional images or smoothly capture dynamic movement too quick for the naked eye.
4 Channel Audio with DMW-XLR1
4ch audio recordingThe LUMIX S5II delivers much improved audio recording performance, with 4ch 48kHz or 96kHz 24-bit recording possible* when an XLR microphone adaptor DMW-XLR1 (sold separately) is attached. This LUMIX S5II gives you much greater flexibility when shooting outdoors, for example, where multiple audio sources are present, or when recording backup audio. Now also supports 2ch 48kHz 24-bit recording with the built-in mic and 2ch 96kHz 24-bit high-resolution recording* with an external mic (sold separately).

The LUMIX Commitment to Superior Image Quality
Dual ISO 24.2MP Sensor
24.2MP CMOS sensor with Dual Native ISO technologyWhether you are taking stills or shooting video, the LUMIX S5II delivers uncompromising image quality, combining high resolution and a Phase Detection AF. Moreover, utilizing Dual Native ISO technology familiar to users of Panasonic Varicam models for professionals, the S5II leverages a dual-base ISO setting to minimize noise and maximize image quality from low to high sensitivity. This feature teams up with a new engine to deliver maximum ISO 51200 / Extended ISO 204800 for minimal noise at high sensitivity and beautiful expression of dark areas in the frame. Whenever professional-level low-light shooting is required, the LUMIX S5II is ready for action.
New Image Processor
Next-generation engineThe new engine delivers approximately twice the processing power as before, enabling high-speed processing of higher-resolution, higher bit-rate video. It is equipped with technology invested and developed jointly by LEICA and LUMIX. Combination of the new sensor and engine achieves both Phase Detection AF and high image quality for photos and videos.
14+ Stop Dynamic Range
