High Image Quality Even in High Sensitivity Photo and Video
The LUMIX S5 contains a 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that boasts a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity performance made possible by sufficient light condensation. The LUMIX S5 further realizes recording maximum ISO51200 crystal-clear high sensitivity video with the adoption of the Dual Native ISO technology. The LUMIX S5 also provides a High Resolution mode that faithfully reproduces precise details to be saved as beautiful, highly realistic 96-megapixel equivalent (12,000 x 8,000-pixel) image not only RAW but also in JPEG.
Exceptional Video Recording Performance for Cinema-quality Film Creation
The LUMIX S5 is capable of 4K 60p/50p 4:2:0 10-bit and 4K 30p/25p 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording. It is also capable of 4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output. For 4K 30p/25p 4:2:0 8-bit internal recording, there is no time limit. Panasonic’s exceptional heat dispersion technology realizes long time video recording. The LUMIX S5 provides 14+ stops of dynamic range and V-Log / V-Gamut compatibility with popular colorimetry called VariCam Look”. A variety of recording modes including 4:3 Anamorphic and Slow & Quick Motion are also provided.
High-speed, High-precision AF Supported by Real-time Detection Technology
The LUMIX S5 boasts high-speed, high-precision AF in both photo shooting and video recording. Combining the Contrast AF with DFD technology, it focuses on the target in approx. 0.08 sec.* The LUMIX S5 also incorporates an advanced deep learning technology that detects specific subjects - humans and animals (canidae, felidae, birds). Notably for humans, the eye, face, head and body are separately recognized by real-time detection technology to provide even more precise focusing.

Powerful Handshake Correction Image Stabilizer
The LUMIX S5’s Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) enables accurate shake detection and compensation, making it possible to use a 5-stop slower shutter speed*. Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) in the camera and the O.I.S. (2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lens, the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 the correction power is maximized to allow 6.5-stop slower shutter speed**.
* Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=60mm when S-R2060 is used. ** Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=200mm when S-E70200 is used
Splash and Dust resistant
The LUMIX S5 boasts outstanding mobility yet excels in basic performance and expandability. To withstand heavy field use, the LUMIX S5 is composed of a magnesium alloy full die-cast body and is splash/dust-resistant.* With an optimum layout of heat dispersion components, heat is effectively transferred outside which results in stable, continuous video recording for a long time.
* Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
