Introducing the Panasonic Lumix S5 Digital Camera with 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens Kit.
An exceptional full-frame hybrid mirrorless camera designed to meet the needs of photographers and videographers alike. Combining stunning image quality with powerful video capabilities, the Lumix S5 offers a versatile solution for creators seeking high performance in both stills and video. With a 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, Dual Native ISO, and 5-axis in-body image stabilization, the S5 excels in low-light environments, providing crystal-clear results in every shot.
Unmatched Performance in Low-Light Conditions
At the heart of the Lumix S5 is its 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, delivering exceptional image quality with superb low-light capabilities. Featuring Dual Native ISO, a technology first introduced in Panasonic’s cinema cameras, the S5 minimizes noise at higher ISOs, allowing for outstanding image clarity even in dimly lit conditions. With a maximum ISO of 51200 (expandable up to 204800), you can confidently shoot in challenging lighting without compromising image quality. This feature is ideal for on-the-go creators, enabling you to shoot with fewer lighting setups and save time on set.
Advanced Autofocus for Precision and Speed
The improved autofocus system on the Lumix S5 delivers high-speed and accurate focusing with a focus acquisition time of just 0.08 seconds. Thanks to advanced deep learning technology, the camera is capable of tracking subjects even in difficult conditions, such as fast motion or low light. With -6EV luminance detection performance, the Lumix S5 locks onto subjects quickly, ensuring sharp, in-focus shots in almost any scenario.
Superior Image Stabilization for Smooth Shots
The Lumix S5’s 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) works in tandem with 2-axis optical image stabilization found in compatible Lumix lenses to provide up to 6.5 stops of stabilization. This means you can shoot handheld with confidence, even in low-light conditions or when using a telephoto lens. The stabilization system accurately detects shake and compensates for it, allowing you to capture sharp, blur-free images and videos. Whether you’re shooting handheld video or capturing long-exposure photography, the S5 ensures smooth and steady results.
Professional-Grade Video Capabilities
The Lumix S5 is packed with cinema-quality video features, making it a powerful tool for filmmakers and content creators. It supports 4K 60p/50p 4:2:0 10-bit internal recording, as well as 4K 30p/25p 4:2:2 10-bit recording, offering high-quality video with rich color depth and detail. For even more flexibility, the camera provides 4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output, perfect for external recording. Whether you're shooting a documentary, YouTube content, or cinematic productions, the S5 delivers stunning video performance.
One of the standout features of the S5 is its ability to record HDR video in 4K, ensuring lifelike reproduction of highlights and shadows without overexposing or underexposing the scene. This is made possible with the ITU-R BT.2100 compatibility, which produces an optimized gamma curve for perfect HDR output. Additionally, the unlimited 4K 30p/25p 4:2:0 8-bit recording option means you can film continuously without worrying about time limits—ideal for extended shoots.
