Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II + Lumix S 35mm f/1.8
This bundle contains the Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II and the Lumix S 35mm f/1.8 lens.
Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II Body
The Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II is a welcome addition to the popular LUMIX S series. This mirrorless camera delivers incredible photo and video performance in an attractive, compact design. The S5 II features a 24 Megapixel 35mm full-frame sensor CMOS sensor that lets in plenty of light and produces razor-sharp images. Combined with the advanced image processor, the sensor delivers outstanding image quality for both photo and video.
Reliable autofocus and stabilisation
The redesigned image sensor introduces, for the first time in the LUMIX line-up, hybrid phase-detection autofocus. This hybrid autofocus system combines phase detection with contrast detection for fast and reliable focus. The new system can easily recognise subjects even in challenging conditions, such as low light. Once focus is locked, it continues to track the subject across the frame. Continuous autofocus is also available when zooming in, as well as AF micro adjustments.
The LUMIX S5 II features significantly improved image stabilisation, so you can capture stable, sharp shots even when shooting handheld. Active image stabilisation is particularly useful in demanding conditions — such as when using a telephoto lens or filming while walking. It also ensures very smooth video by optimising horizontal, vertical, and rotational correction.
Exceptional video performance
This mirrorless camera offers exceptional video performance comparable to the LUMIX S1H. Shoot in 4:2:0 10-bit 6K (3:2) and 5.9K (16:9) at 30fps, and 4:2:2 C4K/4K at 60fps. Recording in High Frame Rate is straightforward, with up to 120fps and slow motion up to 180fps. You can use a variety of colour profiles, including 14+ stop V-Log and V-Gamut. The REAL TIME LUT function lets you upload colour grading LUTs to an SD card and apply them directly in-camera, rather than in post-production. Professional videographers will appreciate features such as Waveform Monitor, Vector Scope, and Zebra Pattern. Additional features like System Frequency (24.00Hz) and Synchro Scan make this camera well suited for professional use.
Excellent photos with minimal workflow
The camera offers a range of options to help you achieve excellent results with minimal workflow. Features such as AWB lock, MF assist, and a new Live Crop function provide a highly refined shooting experience. An HDMI Type-A port and USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection offer extensive connectivity options. Thanks to 5GHz Wi-Fi, you can also connect wirelessly to smartphones and tablets quickly and reliably. Dual UHS-II memory card slots ensure you always have plenty of storage space.
Panasonic Lumix S 35mm f/1.8
The Panasonic Lumix S 35mm f/1.8 is a wide-angle prime lens with a large maximum aperture, making it highly versatile. It's an excellent choice for street and portrait photography, and equally well suited to video work.
With a maximum aperture of f/1.8, this lens performs brilliantly in difficult lighting conditions. It also produces beautiful Bokeh, adding a sense of space and depth to your photos and videos. The precise autofocus ensures a smooth and fast workflow. Focus breathing suppression and seamless exposure control allow you to capture fluid, professional-looking footage.
This prime lens features an optical design comprising 11 elements in 9 groups, including 3 aspherical and 3 ED elements to minimise distortion. This advanced design delivers sharpness from centre to edge, making the lens an excellent match for full-frame cameras. With its dust- and splash-resistant construction, you can shoot in any situation — even in low temperatures down to -10 °C.
