Phase Hybrid AF for aggressive shooting

The most important thing in autofocus is to be dependable. 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.

Great for shooting as you walk: Active I.S. Technology

New Active I.S. lets you walk and shoot at the same time. By determining the status of camera shake and optimizing correction ratios, Active I.S. can compensate for even significant camera shake, approximately 200%* more than conventional systems.
*Compared with LUMIX S5. Focal length 20mm, when using S-R2060.

Heat management for unlimited recording time

4:2:2 10-bit C4K/4K 60p/50p unlimited recording time.* With a compact body equivalent to the S5, the LUMIX S5II’s new optimized heat dissipation structure enables extended recording even when shooting at heavy loads (e.g. high-resolution video over 4K, HFR video).
*The camera may stop recording when used in a temperature that is lower or higher than the recommended operating temperature (0 to 40 degrees). Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 30 minutes in [6K/29.97p] [6K/25.00p] [5.9K/29.97p] [5.9K/25.00p] when Thermal Management mode is set to Standard.

The LUMIX commitment to superior image quality

The new engine delivers more true-to-life colours, finer resolution, and a natural three-dimensional effect, and combined with Dual Native ISO technology, effectively suppresses noise even when shooting at ultra-high sensitivities, beautifully rendering even dark areas.

Easy colour grading with REAL TIME LUT

LUT-applied photos and videos can be recorded internally without any special software. Even if you don’t have specialized editing skills, the camera helps you expand your range of expression as much as you want.

Tough body for a wide range of weather conditions

The camera can be used in a wide range of weather conditions. The durable magnesium alloy full die-cast frame and sealing of all joints, dials, and buttons make it dust- and splash-resistant*.
*Dust- and splash-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.

Intuitive operation

The intuitive, well-calculated layout and 8-directional joystick allow you to select the focus area intuitively with simple, one-thumb operation for speedy shooting.
