A lightweight, powerful hybrid camera for vibrant still photography and cinematic video:

Realize your creative vision with a compact hybrid camera that delivers gorgeous, high-sensitivity still photography and extraordinary 4K 60p, 4:2:2 10-bit video recording, offering a FHD 180fps Slow Motion option as well as 4:3 Anamorphic support. The S5 is perfect for use when talking still photos or as a vlog camera.

Detailed photo and video that will delight enthusiasts and experts alike:

The Lumix S5 makes it easy and accessible to capture content in impressive high resolution. 96MP High Resolution Recording mode delivers with clarity and precision. Dual Native ISO minimizes noise in high sensitivity. V-Log/V-Gamut compatibility offers a 14+ stop dynamic range to capture every detail.

Improved, high-precision autofocus and powerful image stabilization:

Improved autofocus includes detection of the head as well as eyes, face and body, to capture subjects with ease and precision. 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 enables 6.5-stop slower shutter speed. Also equipped with Double SD memory card slot (UHS-II/UHS-I) for reliability.

Expanded features offer new levels of creativity:

Use Live View Composite mode to instantly create a stunning image out of several live shots; the shutter releases at designated intervals of exposure time to merge the bright parts into a single image. Useful for shooting fireworks or a starry sky.

Compact, resilient camera sustains prolonged use:

The S5 has the lightweight portability you expect from LUMIX, and is dust and splash resistant to withstand tough field use. Optimized heat dispersion ensures a stable, continuous video recording without interruption.

At the heart of the camera, the LUMIX S5 contains a 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that boasts a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity performance made possible by sufficient light condensation. The LUMIX S5 further realizes recording maximum ISO 51200 crystal-clear high sensitivity video with the adoption of the Dual Native ISO technology.

As a pioneer of photo/video hybrid mirrorless cameras, the LUMIX has the largest lineup of cameras that record 4K 10-bit video. As the latest member of the family, the LUMIX S5 is capable of 4K 60p/50p 4:2:0 10-bit, and 4K 30p/25p 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording. It is also capable of 4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output. For 4K 30p/25p 4:2:0 8-bit internal recording, there is no time limit. Panasonic’s exceptional heat dispersion technology realizes stable, long time video recording. The LUMIX S5 provides 14+ stops of dynamic range, which is as wide as those of cinema cameras, and V-Log / V-Gamut compatibility with popular colorimetry called “VariCam Look”. A variety of recording formats and modes including 4:3 Anamorphic mode, Slow & Quick Motion, 4K/60p interval shooting and 4K HDR are also provided.

The LUMIX S5 boasts high-speed, high-precision AF in both photo shooting and video recording that are made possible with advanced deep-learning technology featuring real-time detection of the subject’s type and parts such as human eye, face, head and body.

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 compensates for blurring even powerfully, allowing the use of a 6.5-stops slower shutter speed. The splash/dust-resistant rugged design provides professional photographers with high reliability.

To enhance the photographic experience, the 96-megapixel High Resolution Mode (JPEG/RAW), Live View Composite function and HLG Photo mode are available.

Thanks to the high energy efficiency and a new 2,200mAh high-capacity battery, it can capture approximately 470 pictures (using the LVF) / 1,500 pictures (in Power Save LVF mode). It complies with a USB power charging and power supply. Double SD Card slot (UHS-IIx1 and UHS-I x1), 5GHz/2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity are also supported. The LUMIX S Series full-frame mirrorless camera system adopts the L-Mount system to provide users with a diverse and future-proof range of products from Panasonic, Leica Camera and Sigma.

The Panasonic LUMIX S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens is a lightweight and unique zoom lens for the Panasonic full frame S-System that covers ultra wide angle to short portrait focal lengths. This unique pairing of fields of view and affordable price point make it a great fit for enthusiasts or working professionals looking to cover a combination of ranges that are traditionally covered by two different lenses.

Unique zoom range

With the LUMIX S 20-60mm lens, Panasonic has set out to offer photographers and videographers a lens that covers both ultra wide angle fields of view, as well as short portraits. The result is a lens that covers both so well that only one lens is needed, rather than two, lightening overall load and streamlining workflow by eliminating the need to constantly change lenses. The 20-60mm also incorporates a minimum focusing distance of just 5.9”, making it a contender for still life photography as well.

Pro-level design at consumer friendly price

The LUMIX S 20-60mm lens has all of the design elements of a professional-level lens. Designed with 11 elements in 9 groups, with 2 aspherical lenses and 3 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements, the 20-60mm nearly eliminates chromatic aberration and astigmatism, meaning less post work to achieve the best optical performance. Lens quality and performance is consistent from the center to the edges of the frame thanks to this high quality combination, yet the price is not in the $2000+ range traditionally associated with a lens of this design.

Rugged design

The LUMIX S 20-60mm is not meant to be babied. In fact, it’s got many of the seals and weather protection features of the pro-level lenses. Gaskets and seals make it dust- and splash-resistant, and allows it to to work in temperatures as low as 14 degrees. Panasonic has also included a fluorine coating on the front element which is designed to help repel water and oil, helping to keep the lens clean even in harsh conditions.

L-Mount Alliance Lenses

The LUMIX S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens is proudly part of the L-Mount Alliance. Developed by Leica camera, the L-Mount is the beginning of a new alliance between Leica, Sigma, and Panasonic. With a mount diameter of 51.6mm, the L-Mount lenses are suitable for cameras with either full frame or APS-C sensors, and both are compatible. Featuring four tabs to keep the L-Mount lenses from tilting and ensuring tight coupling of camera and lens, as well as a short flange distance of only 20mm, L-Mount lenses from any of the partners will stay optically sharp and consistent no matter what body they are used on.
