PANASONIC LUMIX S5 II MIRRORLESS CAMERA WITH 20-60MM AND 50MM LENSES KIT

The Panasonic Lumix DC-S5II Twin Lens Kit  is the new Mark 2 version of the Lumix S5 mirrorless camera body with two lenses - the S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 L-Mount lens (S-R2060E) and 50mm f1.8 L-Mount Lens (S-S50E). The S5 II camera features Hybrid Phase Detection AF system, enhanced Active I.S. and newly developed 24-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, improving on the original S5 making it a superb choice for video, content creators, photographers, and videographers while representing exceptional value for money. The lenses both take 67mm size front filters.

Panasonic Lumix DC-S5II Twin lens kit (DC-S5M2W) contains

• Lumix S5 II body (DC-S5M2)
• the Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 L-Mount Lens (S-R2060E)
• and 50mm f1.8 L-Mount Lens (S-S50E)

Built around a newly developed 24-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor and imaging engine. The sensor supports Hybrid Phase Detection Auto-Focus, a first for LUMIX cameras, while the new engine provides superb image quality and high bit-rate video performance on a par with the LUMIX S1H.

With a new imaging engine developed within the L2 Technology partnership formed by LEICA and LUMIX, and a new 24-megapixel sensor, the S5II and S5IIX are the first LUMIX cameras to offer Hybrid Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF). Featuring a new Phase Hybrid AF system combining PDAF with Contrast Detect AF. Fast and dependable and providing 779-area metering, the new system is able to detect target subjects in difficult conditions such as low light and back-lighting and, once locked on, will remain tracking them even with other moving objects in the frame. Continuous AF during zooming and AF micro adjustment are also available (Existing lenses may require firmware update to use Continuous AF during zooming.)

The new processing engine gives superb video recording capabilities including internal 4:2:0 10-bit 6K (3:2) and 5.9K (16:9) at 30fps and 4:2:2 C4K and 4K at up to 60fps, while a new low-profile heat management system allows for unlimited recording times when the camera is used at recommended operating temperature 0-40 degrees C. 6K and 5.9K at 30p/25p video recording stops once when continuous recording time exceeds 30 minutes if [Thermal Management] is set to [STANDARD].

The cameras also support HFR (High Frame Rate) recording at up to 120fps and Slow & Quick capture at up to 180fps.

Thanks to host of new and improved features, the LUMIX S5II is able to deliver professional photo and video performance, including high-speed burst shooting at up to 9fps with mechanical shutter and 30fps with electronic shutter (capable of capturing up to 300 images), a 96-megapixel High Resolution Mode (JPEG/RAW) and Dual Native ISO sensitivity, which minimises noise and allows a maximum ISO of 51200.

The image stabilisation system is upgraded to enhance handheld shooting in a wide range of conditions and situations. The new Active I.S. provides highly stable video recording by optimising horizontal, vertical and rotational correction. Active I.S. is especially effective in traditionally challenging conditions for handheld shooting, such as using telephoto lenses or filming while walking.

The Panasonic S5 II camera body offers a refined shooting experience, allowing creators to achieve excellent results with minimal workflow. Features include AWB Lock, MF Assist and a new Live Crop function, which records video footage using the entire sensor surface enabling the user to crop 4K and FHD images out afterwards. 8-way joystick, expanded drive dial, 3.0-inch free-angle touch-control monitor and large, 3,680K-dot OLED Live View Finder aids usability.

Built to robust standards for in-field use, with magnesium alloy die-cast front and rear frames and a splash- and dust-resistant construction. Connectivity has been improved over the LUMIX S5, with the LUMIX S5IIX and S5II each featuring a full-size HDMI Type A terminal and high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2, plus a cable lock holder to prevent unwanted unplugging. Wireless connectivity has been improved too, with Wi-Fi 5GHz joining 2.4GHz to provide fast, stable communication with smartphones and tablets.

Dual card slots (both UHS-II) support Relay Recording, Backup Recording and Allocation Recording and the 2200mAh high-capacity battery can be recharged via AC or USB.

Users will be able to further enhance LUMIX S5IIX and S5II performance through future firmware updates, which will add a host of functions including RAW data output and Live View Composite.
