Panasonic Lumix S5 II X Black Video Edition L-Mount Camera Body Summary

Boasting a sleek matte black design and powerful new capabilities for hybrid content creators, the Panasonic Lumix S5 II X Black Video Edition L-Mount Camera Body adds the ability to output Apple Pro Res RAW over HDMI. It also offers ALL-Intra Recording, IP streaming (wired and wireless) as well as USB tethering, opening up a range of high-quality streaming options, directly from the camera body.

Joining the range of Panasonic mirrorless cameras alongside the second generation standard edition S5 II camera, the S5 II X Black provides a host of upgrades to the body, software and internal hardwear. These include a newly developed 24 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor with fast readout speeds and reduced rolling shutter, along with a new high-speed processor, co-developed with Leica in the L2 Alliance technology alliance.

Best ever AF performance

The L2 Technology partnership between LEICA and Lumix has resulted in a newly developed imaging engine, along with a new 24-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor. This lead to the release of the S5 II X alongside the original Lumix S5 II, which are the first Panasonic Lumix cameras to offer Hybrid Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF).

The camera employs a new Phase Hybrid AF system, which combines PDAF with Contrast Detect AF for fast and dependable autofocus capabilities, while providing 779-area metering and a new Pinpoint AF. This new AF system can detect target subjects in difficult conditions such as low light, or when backlit and once locked on, will continue tracking even with other moving objects in the frame. Continuous AF during zooming1 and AF micro adjustment are also available.

1 Conventional zoom lenses require firmware update to use Continuous AF during zooming.

Powerful video capabilities

The LUMIX S5IIX is capable of 5.8K Apple ProRes recording to SSD via HDMI or USB, and ALL-Intra Recording. Additionally, the S5II X can support Apple Pro Res RAW video output to Atomos. It also supports wired2 and wireless IP streaming and USB tethering.

The S5 II X new engine presents a range of video recording capabilities, including internal:

  • 6K 4:2:0 10-bit (3:2) at 30fps
  • 5.9K (16:9) at 30fps
  • C4K and 4K 4:2:2 at up to 60fps

A new low-profile heat management system has also been developed, which ensures unlimited recording times1 without increasing the size of the camera body. The Lumix S5 II X camera body also support HFR (High Frame Rate) recording at up to 120fps and Slow & Quick capture at up to 180fps.

A range of picture profiles provide the ability to record 14+ stops of dynamic range when using V-Log/V-Gamut, as well as a new REAL TIME LUT function. This allows you to upload colour grading LUTs from an SD card which are directly applied in-camera, rather than after recording in post-production.

Features such as Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope and Zebra Pattern have also been added in response to requests from professional users, along with System Frequency (24.00Hz) and Synchro Scan, amongst other pro features.

Audio capabilities have also been enhanced, with clear and realistic 48kHz/24-bit audio, which can be recorded via the built-in mic, or an external microphone. High-resolution 96kHz/24-bit recording is also possible when using external and XLR microphones, bringing the S5 II X closer in-line with audio capabilities first introduced on the GH6, simply add the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adaptor for XLR audio capabilities.

1 When the camera is used at recommended operating temperature 0-40 degrees C. 6K and 5.9K at 30p/25p video recording stops once when continuous recording time exceeds 30 minutes if [Thermal Management] is set to [STANDARD].

2 Requires USB-LAN adapter, sold separately.

Pro-level photo and video

Thanks to a series of new and improved features the Lumix S5 II X is capable of delivering truly stunning photo and video performance. Capture all the action with high-speed burst shooting at up to 9fps with mechanical shutter and 30fps when using electronic shutter, for up to 300 images.

High Resolution Mode is available for RAW and JPEG to create astounding 96-megapixel stitched shots, while Dual Native ISO sensitivity minimises noise and provides a maximum ISO of 51200 (up to 204800 when extended).

Better image stabilisation

The Lumix S5 II X also boasts an upgraded 5-axis image stabilisation system, to improve handheld shooting across a wide range of conditions and situations. New Active I.S. delivers highly stable video recording by optimising horizontal, vertical and rotational correction, with up to 200%2 improvement compared to conventional stabilisation. Active I.S. is especially effective in what would typically be challenging conditions for handheld shooting, such as recording while using telephoto lenses or while walking.

1 Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=200mm when S-E70200 is used. Firmware must be updated to the latest version.

2 Compared with Lumix S5. Focal length 20mm, when using S-R2060.

Advanced operation for solo creators

A highly refined shooting experience allows creators to achieve excellent results with a more streamlined workflow thanks to features such as AWB Lock, MF Assist (available for both video1 and photo) and a new Live Crop function, which records video footage using the entire sensor surface enabling the user to crop 4K and FHD images afterwards.

A new easy-to-operate 8-way joystick further enhances usability as does the expanded drive dial, 3.0-inch free-angle touch-control monitor and large, 3,680K-dot OLED Live View Finder.

1 Up to 60p. Does not work in Variable Frame Rate mode.

Improved reliability and connectivity

The camera is built to robust standards for demanding use in the field, with magnesium alloy die-cast front and rear frames plus a splash and dust resistant1 construction.

Connectivity has been improved over the previous model, with the LUMIX S5 II X featuring a full-size HDMI Type A terminal, high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 and a cable lock holder to prevent unwanted unplugging. Wireless connectivity has been improved too, adding Wi-Fi 5GHz2 to 2.4GHz, which provides a fast, stable connection with smartphones and tablets. Dual card slots (both UHS-II) support Relay Recording, Backup Recording and Allocation Recording and the 2200 mAh high-capacity battery can be recharged via AC or USB.

1 Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.

Huge range L-Mount lenses

Along with a diverse range of accessories, users can enjoy building an extensive collection of L mount lenses from Panasonic, Leica, Sigma and third party manufactures such as Laowa. Options include the Lumix S 14-28mm f/4-5.6 Macro Lens, which launched at the same time as the camera and numerous other focal lengths, suitable for stills and video.

Looking to sell your Panasonic Lumix S5 II X Black Video Edition L-Mount Camera Body?

Our Verdict

For filmmakers and advanced solo creators who need the advantages which recording in Apple ProRes provides, the Lumix S5 II X Matte Black Video Edition is not only a stylish option, but one of the most capable hybrids to date. The Video Edition differentiates itself from the standard camera with it’s exterior design, as well as the ability to compress files with ALL-Intra Recording and wired + wireless IP streaming as well as USB tethering.

Aside from these key differences, the Lumix S5 II X offers a host of performance upgrades, which are significant to say the least. Virtually every aspect of the first generation S5 has been upgraded, from the processor and sensor through to ergonomics, software and internal hardware.

Naturally the headline feature, which will come as a welcome addition to L-Mount users is the addition of the Phase Hybrid AF system, combining PDAF with Contrast Detect AF. This adds faster and more dependable focusing to a high-performing camera, overcoming the limitations of the previous AF system, which more demanding situations require.

On top of the sensor, processor and new hybrid AF, the camera also adds improvements to cooling with no-limit recording, better image stabilisation, as well as a new EVF and free-angle LCD touchscreen. The list of upgrades is so comprehensive that the S5 II X has instantly become the definitive video-centric full-frame camera for L-Mount hybrid creators, who need to capture professional video across a wide range of formats.
