Explore Your Creative Universe.

Meet the LUMIX S5II - beginning of a new phase for LUMIX. With unlimited creative possibilities, these versatile hybrid full-frame mirrorless cameras will help you capture stunning content in any situation.

Firmware 3.0 enhances aggressive shooting styles

Ready for the most ambitious shoots

Phase Hybrid AF lets you shoot continuously with speed and precision, while the LUMIX S5II’s highly advanced AF pushes the envelope on sport, wildlife, and car/motorcycle photography.* In addition, the pre-burst shooting function allows you to go back in time.* Now you’re ready to capture that perfect moment.
*To use Animal Eye/Car/Motorcycle recognition and pre-burst shooting function, please update the firmware to version 3.0.
Ready for the most ambitious shoots

Great for shooting on the move

The LUMIX S5II also makes it easy to shoot video on the move. Active I.S. determines the status of camera shake and optimises correction ratios to compensate even for significant motion, while advanced E.I.S.* suppresses peripheral distortion that occurs during video shooting. So now you can capture beautiful images, even if you need to move quickly while the camera is rolling.

*Please update the firmware to version 3.0.

Firmware 3.0 introduces LUMIX's first features

Proxy video recording

This new feature records a low bit-rate proxy file when recording video. Simultaneously recording a proxy file that is linked with the original video recording enabling a faster delivery from production to post.
・Please update the firmware to version 3.0.

Native Camera to Cloud Integration with Adobe’s Frame.io

With Frame.io Camera to Cloud, creator’s images and videos are automatically uploaded, backed up, shared, and worked on jointly via the cloud.
・Please update the firmware to version 3.0.
・Not all features of Frame.io Camera to Cloud are guaranteed.
・Frame.io, the Frame.io logo, and Camera to Cloud are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Adobe in the United States and/or other countries.

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 S5II’s new optimised heat dissipation structure 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 in [6K/29.97p] [6K/25.00p] [5.9K/29.97p] [5.9K/25.00p] when Thermal Management mode is set to Standard.

Heat management for unlimited recording time

The LUMIX commitment to superior image quality

The new engine delivers more true-to-life colours, finer resolution, and a natural three-dimensional effect, and combined with Dual Native ISO technology, effectively suppresses noise even when shooting at ultra-high sensitivities, beautifully rendering even dark areas.

The LUMIX commitment to superior image quality

Easy colour grading with REAL TIME LUT

LUT-applied photos and videos can be recorded internally without any special software. Even if you don’t have specialised editing skills, the camera helps you expand your range of expression as much as you want.

Easy colour grading with REAL TIME LUT

Tough body for a wide range of weather conditions

The camera can be used in a wide range of weather conditions. The durable magnesium alloy full die-cast frame and sealing of all joints, dials, and buttons make it dust- and splash-resistant*.
*Dust- and splash-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.

Intuitive operation

The intuitive, well-calculated layout and 8-directional joystick allow you to select the focus area intuitively with simple, one-thumb operation for speedy shooting.
