Panasonic LUMIX S5II 24.2MP Full Frame Mirrorless Camera with Panasonic LUMIX S 50mm L-Mount bundle

Panasonic LUMIX Full Frame Camera Firmware Update - S5II Firmware V3.0 and S5IIX Firmware V2.0

Offering fast, accurate phase hybrid autofocus, the LUMIX S5II mirrorless camera is designed to deliver excellent performance in both photo and video. The 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor complies with PDAF (Phase Detection Auto-Focus) with 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 image stabilization and an imaging engine that's been developed to achieve high resolution, natural description, and approximately 2x higher-speed signal procession for high bit-rate video recording. With the high dynamic range and broad colors of a 14 plus stop V-Log and V-Gamut capture, and an advanced heat dispersion mechanism for unlimited video recording and live streaming, the S5II is developed to meet the demands of ambitious creators with an assertive shooting style.

Firmware Update

Listening to creators’ needs, S5II Firmware V3.0 and S5IIX Firmware V2.0 deliver efficiency in both production and post-production workflows, providing important time (and therefore cost) saving benefits. The firmware updates improve the shooting experience and enhances sharing functionality - compatibility with Adobe Camera to Cloud (Frame.io) and Proxy video recording; improved basic performance with improved real-time AF recognition system (animal eye, car, and motorcycle recognition); enhanced E.I.S. performance by adding HIGH mode in the E-stabilization (video) and a perspective distortion correction.

24.2-Megapixel 35mm Full-Frame CMOS Sensor

Developed to achieve high resolution, natural description, and approximately 2x higher-speed signal processing, powered by L Technology.

Fast, Accurate Phase Hybrid Autofocus

Advanced subject detection and metering technologies capture the target subject in focus even in adverse lighting conditions; once locked on the subject, it keeps tracking even with multiple moving objects.

Powerful Image Stabilization

LUMIX's newly developed Active I.S., which supports walking shots, further enhances image stabilization in video recording.

Expressive Video Functionality

14 plus stop V-Log and V-Gamut capture delivers a high dynamic range and broad colors, plus a REAL TIME LUT function is provided to enable in-camera photo and video color grading, with LUT6K 30p Open Gate unlimited recording.

Unlimited Video Recording

The heat dispersion mechanism combines a small fan and high-efficiency heat sink to achieve unlimited video recording while keeping the camera size compact.

Panasonic DMW-BLK22 7.4V 3050mAh Lithium-ion Battery Pack for LUMIX S5, GH5, G9, GH5s

The Panasonic DMW-BLK22 is a 7.4V 3050mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack designed for powering the LUMIX S5, GH5, G9, GH5s cameras. It can be easily charged using a DMW-BTC15 battery charger kit (not included).

Panasonic LUMIX S 50mm f/1.8 L-Mount Lens (Full-Frame Format)

The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 is a large-diameter standard lens compatible with all L-mount cameras for maximum versatility, yet it has a compact size and weight. Ideal for a wide range of photography, from landscape to portraits and snapshots, this lens uses three aspherical lenses to achieve both high depiction performance and beautiful bokeh. An excellent choice for video, it suppresses breathing during focus and realizes smooth exposure change by micro step control of the aperture, enabling high-quality video expression. By using one ED lens, chromatic aberration is well suppressed. This compact, lightweight, and dust, splash, and low-temperature resistant lens is easy to carry and dependable even when shooting outdoors.

The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 is comprised of nine lens elements in eight groups including three aspherical lenses, one ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lens, and one UHR (Ultra-High Refractive Index) lens. The use of three aspherical lenses realizes both high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh, which are common advantages to the series of all F1.8 lenses. It is suitable for snapshots including portrait to landscape.

The ED lens effectively suppresses chromatic aberration. The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography. Together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change, professional-quality video can be recorded.

With its compact, approximately 300g of lightweight, the LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 features stunning mobility. The rugged dust/splash-resistant* design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees below zero for high mobility. The filter diameter is 67 mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.
