Featuring an upgraded full-frame 24.2MP CMOS sensor and an updated image processing engine with L2 technology, the Lumix S5 II's sensor incorporates a newly-developed Phase Hybrid AF system - a first for Lumix-series cameras - providing 779 phase-detection points for significantly-improved subject tracking. Balancing high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range, the Lumix S5 II sensor provides a useful ISO 100-51200 range, which can be expanded to ISO 50-204800 for working in a variety of lighting conditions. Well-equipped for action and fast-moving subjects, the Lumix S5 II also enables full-res shooting at up to 9 fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 30 fps with the electronic shutter. Additionally, the Lumix S5 II utilizes sensor-shift stabilization technology and features a High Resolution mode to capture and compile eight separate exposures to create a single 96MP raw or JPEG file. Suitable for static subjects and when working on a tripod, this mode creates a more highly detailed and colour accurate image than a single shot alone can produce and produces an image with a 12000 x 8000-pixel resolution.
The most important thing in autofocus is to be dependable. With the Lumix S5 II, the new Phase Hybrid AF delivers speed and accuracy to help you capture the target subject even in the most challenging scenes where multiple subjects are involved, and even in backlit or low-light environments.
New Active I.S. lets you walk and shoot at the same time when using the Lumix S5 II. By determining the status of camera shake and optimising correction ratios, Active I.S. can compensate for even significant camera shake, approximately 200% more than conventional systems.
4:2:2 10-bit C4K/4K 60p/50p unlimited recording time. With a compact body equivalent to the S5, the Lumix S5 II new optimised heat dissipation structure enables extended recording even when shooting at heavy loads (e.g. high-resolution video over 4K, HFR video).
LUT-applied photos and videos can be recorded internally without any special software. Even if you don’t have specialised editing skills, the Lumix S5 II helps you expand your range of expression as much as you want.
