30fps burst shooting with Pre-burst and Auto Focus
Thanks to the new sensor’s higher readout speed and new engine’s superior processing power, the LUMIX S5IIX delivers AFC burst shooting using the electronic shutter at 30 frames per second with 24.2-megapixel resolution. The sensor’s higher readout speed also minimizes rolling shutter distortion.
Firmware version 2.0 offers advanced flexibility with a choice of 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5-second pre-burst settings. Now you’ll never miss that decisive moment, even in the most dynamic situations, from the flapping of a bird’s wings to an unexpected play on the field.

96MP ultra-high-resolution recording
In the High Resolution mode, the camera automatically captures consecutive images while shifting the sensor, and the new engine’s high-speed signal processing smoothly synthesizes them into a 96-megapixel equivalent (12,000 x 8,000-pixel) image. This allows you to capture magnificent natural scenery and detailed works of art in ultra-high resolution. The LUMIX S5IIX supports RAW file recording, JPEG file recording, and RAW processing during playback, with quick access from the drive mode dial.
With firmware version 1.3, the shutter speed at high resolution mode can now be set to max 8-second with the long exposure noise reduction applied. Thanks to the image stabilizer, Handheld High-Res mode* has been added to enable recording pictures with higher resolution even without using a tripod.
*During Handheld High-Res mode, the shutter speed can be set at max. 1 second.

Live View Composite
The camera takes multiple images, creating composite images from only those areas that vary in brightness. This feature is convenient for taking images of the night sky that show the light trails of stars or fireworks. Each time the shutter is operated, a composite image is displayed, allowing users to shoot while confirming the results in real time.

Heat management for unlimited recording time
4:2:2 10-bit C4K/4K 60p/50p unlimited recording time.* With a compact body equivalent to the S5, the LUMIX S5IIX’s optimized heat dissipation path and heat dissipation structure with forced cooling fan enables extended recording even when shooting at heavy loads (e.g. high-resolution video over 4K, HFR video).
*The camera may stop recording when used in a temperature that is lower or higher than the recommended operating temperature (0 to 40 degrees). Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 30 minutes with the following settings; [MOV] in [6K/29.97p] [6K/25.00p] [5.9K/29.97p] [5.9K/25.00p] or [ProRes] in [5.8K/29.97p] [5.8K/25.00p] [C4K/59.94p] [C4K/50.00p] when Thermal Management mode is set to Standard.

6K 10-bit recording
With 6K (5952x3968, 3:2), 6K (5952x3136, 17:9) and 5.9K (5888x3312, 16:9) 4:2:0 10-bit 30p/25p/24p modes, the LUMIX S5IIX offers higher resolution and higher bit rates than ever before, and delivers the latest in high image quality, versatility, and expressive range needed for film, TV, and all types of video production.

HFR (high frame rate)
Slow-motion recording, a recent trend in video production, is made possible using FHD 10-bit 120p/100p video recording with audio. Or shoot high-resolution C4K/4K 10-bit (4:3) and 3.3K 10-bit (4:3) video at 48p. You can even shoot double slow-motion video at the cinematic frame rate of 24p. Allows tracking AF during HFR video recording.
Max. 7.5x slow motion and max. 60x quick motion
Offers up to 7.5x super slow-motion (FHD 24p/180fps) video at 10-bit recording. Equipped with Slow & Quick Motion modes, the LUMIX S5IIX lets you easily overcrank or undercrank your video while shooting. With quick motion up to 60x (C4K/4K/FHD 60p/1fps), the S5IIX enables you to create emotional images or smoothly capture dynamic movement too quick for the naked eye.
4ch audio recording
The LUMIX S5IIX delivers much improved audio recording performance, with 4ch 48kHz or 96kHz 24-bit recording possible* when an XLR microphone adaptor DMW-XLR1 (sold separately) is attached. This LUMIX S5IIX gives you much greater flexibility when shooting outdoors, for example, where multiple audio sources are present, or when recording backup audio. Now also supports 2ch 48kHz 24-bit recording with the built-in mic and 2ch 96kHz 24-bit high-resolution recording* with an external mic (sold separately).
*MOV and ProRes only.

A higher grade of visual expression
Direct recording to USB-SSD
With the LUMIX S5IIX, recording and playback is supported using an external SSD via USB. In addition, the ability to record ProRes 422 HQ (maximum 1.9Gbps) and 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra directly to SSDs, which combine portability and high capacity has improved efficiency in data backup and post-processing.
・High frame rate video exceeding 60.00p cannot be recorded to an external SSD. ・It is not possible to record video and photo on the SD card simultaneously while recording it on the external SSD. ・Use an external SSD no more than 2 TB in size that is compatible with USB Type-C. We recommend using an external SSD whose operation has been confirmed by Panasonic. Note beforehand that this is not a guarantee of operation on all devices. ・Latest information on the external SSDs will be available at the following support site at the same time as firmware release:

All-Intra video
The ALL-Intra compression method, which allows frame-by-frame decoding/encoding, is ideal for non-linear editing. The LUMIX S5IIX can record at bit rates of up to C4K/4K 800Mpbs.
*Onboard recording at bit rates of up to 800Mpbs is possible, while recording at bit rates above 800Mbps can be done to an external SSD via USB cable.
Apple ProRes codec video
You can record ProRes 422 HQ and ProRes 422 codec videos, the professional industry standard, which deliver high image quality at low compression. This significantly reduces the load on the computer during post-production and allows non-linear editing without transcoding, streamlining your workflow from start to finish.
The LUMIX S5IIX can record FHD (1920x1080) internally and 5.8K (5776x3056, 17:9), C4K (4096x2160, 17:9) and 3.3K (3328x2496, 4:3) to an external SSD via USB.
