Ready for the most ambitious shoots

Phase Hybrid AF supports aggressive shooting

The most important thing with autofocus is to be dependable. It’s all about how quickly and faithfully you can capture the subject. In addition to contrast AF, the LUMIX S5II is the first LUMIX mirrorless camera to offer the Phase Detection AF system, which dramatically improves subject tracking and light recognition performance. The camera can capture the subject even in challenging scenes where multiple subjects are involved, delivering accuracy even in backlit or low-light environments.

779-point AF

The number of AF points has been increased to 779. The improved tracking performance allows the camera to continue to capture even small subjects that are easily out of focus. Even when using 1-Area AF, the AF frame can be set as small as pinpoint level, helping the creator focus on the subject as intended.

AI-based recognition technology

Deep Learning technology enables high-speed, high-precision recognition and tracking of humans (face, eyes, heads, and bodies) and animals (dogs, cats, and birds).

Great for shooting as you walk: Active I.S. Technology

LUMIX has long supported hand-held shooting with B.I.S. and 5-Axis Dual I.S.2, and now the LUMIX S5II is equipped with Active I.S., which supports walking shots, to further enhance image stabilization in video recording. By determining the status of camera shake and optimizing correction ratios, the system can compensate for even significant camera shake, approximately 200%* more than conventional systems.
