CAMERA FEATURES
High Image Quality and
· LUMIX S5 integrates the Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) for powerful handshake correction. An algorithm developed by Panasonic enables accurate shake detection and compensation, making it possible to use a 5-stop slower shutter speed*1. Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) in the camera and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 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*2. It is highly beneficial in telephoto shots and in adverse situations, such as in low-light or with one-handed shooting. The 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 works for both photo and video recording, including 4K.
· With the new Live View Composite function, the camera releases the shutter at designated intervals of exposure time and synthesizes the parts with high luminosity to produce a single picture. While the total brightness of each consecutive image is accumulated in bulb shooting, only the target subject is detected and the user can synthesize them carefully while seeing it in live view. This is extremely useful for capturing shots of fireworks or stars in the night sky where the background needs no gain-increase.
· The LUMIX S5 boasts high-speed, high-precision AF in both photo shooting and video recording. Combining the Contrast AF with DFD (Depth from Defocus) technology, it focuses on the target in approximately 0.08 sec*3.
Cinema-quality video output
· Complies with RAW video output to ATOMOS NINJA V over HDMI as well as C4K video recording with the future firmware update. LUMIX S5 delivers 14+ stops of Dynamic Range, which are virtually the same as those of the Panasonic cinema cameras, to precisely reproduce everything from dark to bright areas.
· With Slow & Quick mode, impressive video slow and quick motion in 4K (1-60fps, 30x quick to 2.5x slow) or in FHD (1-180fps, 60x quick to 7.5x slow)*4 is available. It is possible to use AF*5 to capture the subject in sharp focus in this mode, too.
New interchangeable standard zoom lens
· The LUMIX S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 (S-R2060), based on the L-Mount system for the LUMIX S Series Full-frame Digital Single Lens Mirrorless Camera, is a compact, lightweight standard zoom lens that covers ultra wide range from 20mm to standard 60mm focal length for a versatile use including landscapes and snaps.
· The new LUMIX S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 also ensure smooth, high quality video recording because of a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem in all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography.
