Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 IIX body

The Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX is a welcome addition to the popular LUMIX S series. This mirrorless camera delivers incredible photo and video performance in an attractive, compact design. Compared to the LUMIX S5II, the LUMIX S5 IIX goes that little bit further for the professional videographer, wrapped in a sleek, matt-black finish. The S5 IIX features a 24 Megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that lets in plenty of light and delivers razor-sharp images. Combined with the advanced image processor, the sensor ensures outstanding image quality for both photo and video recording.

Reliable Autofocus and stabilisation

The redesigned image sensor introduces, for the first time in the LUMIX line, hybrid phase-detection Autofocus. This hybrid autofocus system combines phase detection with contrast detection for fast and reliable focus. The new system can easily recognise subjects even in challenging conditions, such as low light. Once focus is locked, it continues to track the subject across the frame. Continuous Autofocus is also available when zooming in, along with AF micro adjustments.

The LUMIX S5 IIX features significantly improved Image stabilisation, allowing you to capture stable, sharp shots even when shooting handheld. Active Image stabilisation is particularly useful in demanding conditions — such as when using a telephoto lens or filming while walking. It also ensures highly stable video by optimising horizontal, vertical, and rotational correction.

Exceptional video performance

This mirrorless camera offers exceptional video performance comparable to the LUMIX S1H. Shoot in 4:2:0 10-bit 6K (3:2) and 5.9K (16:9) at 30fps, and 4:2:2 C4K/4K at 60fps. Recording at a High Frame Rate is straightforward, with up to 120fps and slow motion up to 180fps. You can use a variety of colour profiles, including 14+ stop V-Log and V-Gamut. The REAL TIME LUT function lets you upload colour correction LUTs to an SD card and apply them directly in-camera, rather than during post-processing.

Built for serious videographers

The S5 IIX takes video capabilities even further than the S5II. The LUMIX S5IIX is capable of recording 5.8K Apple ProRes and C4K RAW or All-Intra footage to an SSD or external recorder. The camera supports both wireless and wired IP streaming, as well as USB tethering. The S5 IIX can record in C4K 30p 4:2:2 10-bit, whereas the S5II records in 4:2:0. 4K S and Q Slow Motion are also recorded on the S5IIX with 4:2:2 chroma subsampling for outstanding colour depth. Professional videographers will appreciate features such as Waveform Monitor, Vector Scope, and Zebra Pattern. Additional features like System Frequency (24.00Hz) and Synchro Scan make this camera well suited to professional use.

Excellent photos with minimal workflow

The camera offers a range of options to help you achieve excellent photos with minimal workflow. Features such as AWB lock, MF assist, and a new Live Crop function deliver a highly refined shooting experience. An HDMI Type-A port and USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection provide extensive connectivity options. Thanks to Wi-Fi 5GHz, you can also connect wirelessly to smartphones and tablets quickly and reliably. Dual UHS-II memory card slots ensure you always have plenty of storage space.

Panasonic Lumix S 35mm f/1.8

The Panasonic Lumix S 35mm f/1.8 is a wide angle Prime lens with a large maximum Aperture, making it an incredibly versatile optic. It lends itself beautifully to street and portrait photography, and is equally well suited to video work.

With a maximum Aperture of f/1.8, the lens performs excellently in difficult lighting conditions. It also produces beautiful Bokeh, adding a sense of space and depth to your photos and videos. The precise Autofocus guarantees a smooth and fast workflow. Focus breathing suppression and seamless Exposure control ensure fluid video capture.

This Prime lens features an optical design comprising 11 elements in 9 groups, including 3 aspherical and 3 ED elements to minimise Distortion. This advanced design delivers sharpness from centre to edge, making the lens an excellent choice for full-frame cameras. With its dust- and splash-resistant construction, you can shoot in any situation — even in low temperatures down to -10 °C.
