Designed for pro content creators needing strong stills, sophisticated video options, and livestreaming functionality, the second-generation Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX Mirrorless Camera is equipped with a host of new features to bring your vision to life. Benefitting from a new sensor design and an updated processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 IIX is the first Lumix camera to offer Phase Hybrid AF for fast and precise autofocusing performance. Making full use of the 24.2MP sensor and enhanced processor, this camera records 6K video for up to 30 minutes, while unlimited 4K video capture is available as well. Optimized for video, the S5 IIX is also equipped with a new Active I.S. system, which supports walking shots to further enhance image stabilization while recording video.

Unique to the advanced S5 IIX, this model comes pre-loaded with sophisticated video features benefitting the professional user. These include HDMI RAW video data output, USB-SSD recording, ALL-Intra recording, and ProRes recording. Livestreaming functionality is standard as well, and the S5 IIX offers Wireless IP streaming, USB tethering to smartphones, and Wired IP streaming. Additionally, this camera is the first Lumix camera to feature a refined and stealthy all-black design.

New Sensor and Processing Engine
Featuring an upgraded full-frame 24.2MP CMOS sensor and an updated image processing engine with L2 technology, the S5 IIX'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 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 S5 IIX 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 S5 IIX 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 color accurate image than a single shot alone can produce and produces an image with a 12000 x 8000-pixel resolution.
6K and 4K Video Recording
In addition to stills, the S5 IIX sports highly capable video recording assets. Full-frame 6K30p recording with 4:2:0 10-bit color can be captured for up to 30 minutes, while unlimited video recording is possible when filming in DCI and UHD 4K60p 4:2:2 10-bit mode. The camera supports 120p video capture for videographers who want to create high-resolution slow-motion video, and RAW HDMI output is possible via an optional license upgrade. V-Log has been pre-installed on this camera and is used to capture a flat, neutral gamma curve and an equivalent 14+ stops of dynamic range provides precise control of color data in post-production, as well as seamless editing with footage shot with VariCam cameras.

Borrowing from Panasonic's broadcast line of video cameras, Dual Native ISO helps to achieve a balanced combination of low noise and high sensitivity to better suit working in a variety of lighting conditions. Two dedicated circuits are provided for each pixel: a Low ISO circuit provides base sensitivities of ISO 100 for normal use, ISO 640 when V-Log is applied, ISO 400 when HLG is applied, and ISO 200 when Cinelike D2/V2 is applied; a Low Noise circuit provides base sensitivities of ISO 640 for normal use, ISO 4000 when V-Log is applied, ISO 2500 when HLG is applied, and ISO 1250 when Cinelike D2/V2 is applied.
Pro-Level Video Features
  • Offering enhanced performance and usability, the S5 IIX provides HDMI RAW video data output.
  • For videographers who want to improve efficiency in data backup and post-processing, recording and playback is supported using an external SSD via USB. ALL-Intra recording and ProRes recording are also supported.
  • Designed for modern-users and content creators, the camera allows for Wireless IP streaming, USB tethering to smartphones, and Wired IP streaming.
Phase Hybrid AF System
The S5 IIX is the first Lumix mirrorless camera to adopt a Phase Hybrid AF system, which offers 779 phase-detection points to provide fast and precise focusing for outstanding AF accuracy. When it comes to autofocus, dependability is the most important thing, and with Phase Detection AF you can fully supplement and track the subject in six different situations that until now had been a challenge for conventional systems to capture. Whether shooting stills or video, this means the S5 IIX persistently captures the intended subject in difficult scenes involving multiple people in backlit or low-light environments.
Dual I.S. 2 with Active I.S.
Offering comprehensive support for hand-held use, the S5 IIX incorporates a Dual I.S. 2 image stabilization system, which compensates for approximately 6.5 stops of camera shake to achieve the utmost sharpness for handheld photography. For video applications, the camera is designed with a newly-developed Active I.S. system for walking shots to further enhance image stabilization while the camera is moving and recording video.
Body Design
  • Used in conjunction with other members of the L-Mount Alliance, the L lens mount is a versatile interface with a mount diameter of 51.6mm and a flange distance of 20mm for working with a broad range of optics. Additionally, this camera allows for the use of all the classic and modern Anamorphic lenses that have been in use for over 60 years.
  • A high-resolution 3.68m-dot OLED EVF offers a clear 0.78x magnification along with a smooth 60 fps or 120 fps changeable refresh rate.
  • Large 3.0" 1.84m-dot LCD is a bright, clear means for live view shooting as well as playback and menu navigation. The screen features a free-angle design to suit working from high, low, and front-facing angles, and its touchscreen design affords intuitive settings control.
  • An 8-direction joystick and easy-to-use menu design enable quick and efficient operation.
  • A USB-C port allows for fast file transferring as well as high-speed in-camera battery charging. Additionally, a new full-size HDMI-A port benefits video applications, a 2.5mm port can be used with the optional DMW-RS2 Remote Shutter, and 3.5mm microphone and headphone jacks suit advanced audio recording needs.
  • Dual SD memory card slots — both UHS-II-compatible — offer improved flexibility for image storage, allowing you to segregate raw and JPEG files to different cards, save duplicate files to both cards, or simply double your storage space with overflow recording.
  • An industry-first, the S5 II utilizes a built-in cooling fan to suppress the camera's internal temperature for extended or unlimited recording.
  • A robustly-built magnesium alloy body with dust and splash-resistant design accommodates working in harsh weather conditions and trying environments.
  • First Lumix camera to feature a refined and stealthy all-black design.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Bluetooth Low Energy (5.0) provides constant connection between your smartphone or tablet with minimal power consumption. For more robust wireless activities, IEEE 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n/ac support is also available for faster transmission and more fluid remote control and monitoring. Complementing the camera's wireless connectivity, Lumix Sync is an iOS and Android app designed to pair with the camera for smartphone or tablet-based remote shooting control, wireless image transfer, and updating firmware.
Other Camera Features
  • Real-time LUT enables color grading to be done in the camera itself
  • Live cropping allows in-frame panning and zooming while recording video

Panasonic S5 IIx Reviews

Amazing quality

By Maurice
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-08-28

I bought one of these to test it out and to see if it made sense to use it to replace/upgrade my GH5's. I use the Lumix cameras for B roll and gimbal work and I shoot mostly on Z Cam. I use adaptors so I can use my Canon glass. Just using the camera you'll be amazed at the features but you don't get any evidence of the quality until you bring it into your editor. I filmed the exact same scene with the same lighting on my GH5's and the S5M2X without log on both cameras. The blacks on the S5M2X were pure black, no grain like what I got on the GH5. The DR was noticeably better. Plus the quality more closely matches what I get from the Z Cam. Bye, Bye GH5's.

Fantastic S5iiX camera

By Jacob

Date: 2023-07-17

The Lumix S5 IIX is a fantastic camera for videography and low-light shooting. It really does great in capturing high-quality footage in challenging lighting conditions, thanks to its excellent low-light performance and dynamic range. The camera offers impressive 4K - 6k video recording with a variety of codex from SD cards to SSD's, the autofocus system is fast and accurate only once you learn how to work the focus modes. While it may not be the top choose for still photography being a Panasonic it's a top-notch option for professionals and video enthusiasts who prioritize video quality and low-light performance. DON'T SLEEP ON THE S5II

Powerful, compact, and versatile

The autofocus has been heavily improved and it has a plethora of recording modes to take advantage of. I also got this in a kit with the 50mm lens for just $50 more than the original price of the camera. Great deal. Great Camera. I am satisfied. :)

I watched a bunch of youtube videos before pulling the trigger on that one. Im still learning to use this beast of a cam. I use it mainly for youtube content creation and personal stuff. The pic quality and sharpness is 10/10 im using a 50mm Lumix S lens which is compact. The feel is great. The video is next level. All and all bang for the buck its gonna be hard to beat camera.

This is a beast of camera for the money, I been using Sony for years and never really even consider to try another brand until now. The Autofocus, Stabilization on the sensor with the colors and the variety of codecs this is going to be a great addition to my team.

Great Step up from DC-S5

Pros 1. The ability to record higher quality to SSD is phenomenal. It's an easy workflow to just plug the SSD into your computer and work directly from it. Then, you can keep your final edit, which is much smaller, and delete the original footage if you never need it again. I can confirm that it works with the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB. I use the SmallRig clamps https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1494413-REG/smallrig_bsh2343_universal_holder_for_external.html?sts=pi I put the SSD on the 6.5 Vello V-rig adapter https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1033376-REG/vello_cb_485_v_rig_6_5_triple_shoe.html 2. The battery is the same as DC-S5. So, if you're upgrading, you can keep/use all of of your existing batteries. 3. The unlimited recording with the fan is a great feature, and the fan noise isn't recorded. 4. The in camera 6K/30fps produces beautiful videos, allowing nice cropping on 4K final results. 5. The ALL-I 1080/120p produces the sharpest 1080p I've seen, and I enjoy using it to record my sons playing basketball and producing slowmo highlights. 6. The AF is noticeably better. It does a better job not losing my human subjects and not having the focus breathing of the S5. I'm thoroughly impressed. 7. The IBIS is shockingly good, especially for photography. I did a 1/8 shot (didn't try slower yet), and it was perfectly sharp with no movement blur. It looked like something from a tripod. 8. The dynamic range achievable with the VLOG is eye-popping. 9. The number of custom configurations is very convenient for quickly changing your shooting settings. Cons 1. It does NOT come with the Panasonic battery charger, which charges WAY faster than the Wasabi charger that I own. 2. It turns on noticeably slower than the original S5. Not a big thing to me, but I can tell it. 3. If you record above 60fps, it stops using Phase Detect autofocus, and reverts back to the same autofocus as S1, S5, S1H, and S1R.

I just received my S5iix and my very first impression was that I couldn't read the lettering on the mode dial. I had to get a flashlight. Using such low-contrast lettering was a stupid choice by Panasonic.

punches far above it's price.

This new S5iiX is perhaps the best value of any camera on the market. The images and color are gorgeous, and color science is excellent. So much so I sold my Canon C70. The S5iiX is much more versatile and useful. Panasonic has outdone themselves in creating a camera that is so convenient to shoot video there's nothing quite like it. All the cinematic tools you need are at your finger tips; tools the other companies that make hybrid cameras refuse to include: wave form, C4k, shutter angle, and much much more, even false color with one of the ten possible LUTS you can store, Plus the Panasonic V-log is wonderful to grade, with a wide variety of LUTs to choose from. AF is now excellent, though Sony and Canon are perhaps marginally better...but Panasonic if famous for upgrades. I've always loved the look and ergonomics of Panasonic cameras. They are perhaps the only truly video oriented hybrid camera makers. The GH5 was revolutionary in its time and is still excellent. the S1H was ground breaking, but the S5ii X has knocked it out of the park with the bases loaded. Truly cinematic video features at your fingertips, excellent AF, a wide and growing number of excellent affordable lenses with microscopic focus breathing, state of the art stabilization, making hand held shooting a joy, 15 stops of dynamic range in full frame, NLE editing like butter with Pro Res, easy to grade V-log, tons of buttons that can be easily assigned, and much much more. Thank you Panasonic for making such a fantastic, easy to use camera. You've set the industry standard. Once you shoot with the Panasonic S5ii X, see how easy it is and how special the images out of the camera are you'll be hooked. I only wish I could give the camera and extra star in thanks to Panasonic

Is there a battery grip for s5 ii x?

Is there a battery grip for s5 ii x?
Asked by: Matthew
Hello, Matthew! The battery grip is an optional accessory and this is the model number: DMW-BGS5. When mounted on the camera, it improves ease of operation and grip when the camera is held vertically. Also, inserting a battery into the Battery Grip provides a stable supply of power even for long periods of recording. We encourage you to check directly with the retailer on product availability and stocks, as they would be able to better assist you. -C
