Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 IIX Body

The Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX is an addition to the popular LUMIX S series. The mirrorless camera has incredible photo and video performance in an attractive, compact design. Compared to the LUMIX S5II, the LUMIX S5 IIX goes the extra mile for the professional videographer in a sleek, matte black design. The S5 IIX has a 24-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that lets in plenty of light and provides razor-sharp images. The sensor combined with the advanced image processor ensures excellent image quality for both photo and video capture.

Reliable autofocus and stabilisation

The updated image sensor supports, for the first time in the LUMIX line, hybrid phase-detection autofocus. The hybrid autofocus system combines phase detection with contrast detection for fast and reliable focusing. The new system can easily recognise subjects even in challenging conditions such as when there is low light. Once the focus is fixed, it continues to track the subject across the screen. Continuous Autofocus is also available when zooming in, as well as AF micro adjustments.

The LUMIX S5 IIX has significantly improved Image stabilisation so you can take stable, strong shots even when out of hand. Active Image stabilisation comes in very handy in challenging conditions such as when using a Telephoto lens or when filming while walking. Active Image stabilisation also ensures very stable video’s by optimising horizontal, vertical and rotation correction.

Exceptional video performance

The mirrorless camera has exceptional video performance comparable to the LUMIX S1H. For example, you film in 4:2:0 10-bit 6K (3:2) and 5.9K (16:9) in 30fps and 4:2:2 C4K/4K in 60fps. You easily record in High Frame Rate at up to 120fps and in slow motion at up to 180fps. You can use different colour profiles such as 14+ stop V-log and V-Gamut. The support for a REAL TIME LUT function allows you to upload colour correction LUTs to an SD card and add them directly on the Camera instead of during post-processing.

For real videographers

The S5 IIX goes even further than the S5II when it comes to video. In fact, the LUMIX S5IIX is capable of 5.8K Apple ProRes and C4K Raw or All-intra recordings to an SSD or Recorder. The camera is compatible with wireless and wired IP streaming and USB tethering. The S5 IIX can record in C4K 30p 4:2:2 10-bit, where the S5II records in 4:2:0. 4K S and Q Slowmotion are also recorded on the S5IIX with 4:2:2 chroma subsampling for outstanding colour depth. For professional videographers, features such as Waveform Monitor, Vector Scope and Zebra Pattern have been added. Features like System Frequency (24.00Hz) and Synchro Scan also make this camera suitable for professional use.

Excellent photo’s with minimal workflow

The Camera has several options that give you excellent Photo’s with minimal workflow. Features like AWB lock, MF assist and a new Live Crop function provide a highly refined shooting experience. An HDMI type-A and USB 3.2 gen 2 jack provide extensive connectivity options. Thanks to WiFi 5GHz, you can also connect quickly and stably to Smartphones and tablets wirelessly. Dual UHS-II memory card slots ensure you always have plenty of space.

Panasonic Lumix L-mount 24-60mm f/2.8 S

Looking for a versatile Zoom lens for your L-mount Camera? Then you have found ‘m! This is because the Panasonic Lumix S-E2460E is a high-quality zoom lens that stands out for its large maximum aperture of f/2.8 across the entire zoom range. This luminosity not only ensures excellent image quality and beautiful bokeh effects, but also allows shooting with short shutter speeds, even in low light. That means sharp images with minimal motion blur.

The focal length is adjustable from 24 to 60 mm, making ‘m enormously suitable for a variety of applications: from dynamic landscapes and architecture at 24 mm to atmospheric portraits with nice background blur at 60 mm. All this in a relatively light and compact lens weighing just 544g, making it ideal for photographers who are on the move a lot!

A special feature is the Hybrid Zoom function, which allows you to extend the zoom range to an impressive 187mm without changing lenses! This is done via a combination of optical zoom and crop zoom, which is directly controllable via the zoom ring.

This lens is also an excellent choice for videographers. Focus breathing, an optical phenomenon where the image zooms in or out slightly as you move from one focus point to another, is suppressed. This results in smoother and professional video images, where the frame remains the same while the focus changes. In addition, this lens has silent Autofocus which is essential when shooting video.

Thanks to an impressively short focusing distance of 19 cm (at focal lengths of 24 to 30 mm), you can get close to your subject for more creative freedom and macro-like images.

Finally, this lens is built for tougher work: it is dust-, splash- and frost-resistant (down to -10°C), making it suitable for use in a variety of weather conditions.
