The Panasonic Lumix S5 II Mirrorless Camera stands as a formidable and versatile tool for content creators seeking to express their creativity and capture their vision. Equipped with a novel 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor and an updated processing engine featuring L2 technology, it facilitates swift and precise Phase Hybrid AF along with impressive 6K video recording capabilities. Tailored for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, this camera provides a unique perspective, ideal for capturing portraits and detailed close-ups with a 1:1 magnification ratio and a minimum focusing distance of 11.8 inches.
The Lumix S5 II showcases a fast and luminous f2.8 maximum aperture, delivering exceptional low-light performance and enabling meticulous depth of field control. The aperture incorporates a 9-blade diaphragm for the creation of smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh. The optical design, featuring three aspherical elements, minimizes chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring high image quality and clarity. The camera employs a dual-phase linear motor system for high-speed and precise autofocusing, even in macro photography. Furthermore, it is compatible with Panasonic's Dual I.S. 2 system, offering up to 6.5 stops of image stabilization when used with compatible cameras¹.
Despite its compact form, the Lumix S5 II exudes durability with a robust boxy aesthetic and a textured grip. While resembling the original S5 at a glance, the new S5 II can be distinguished by its left shoulder badge. Weighing a mere 1.6 pounds and measuring 4.6 x 3.8 x 3.3 inches¹, the camera is both lightweight and compact. Its dust- and splash-resistant construction ensures resilience in challenging weather conditions. The inclusion of a focus limiter switch allows users to select the focusing range, enhancing operational efficiency.
