For [C4K/60p] [C4K/50p] [4K/60p] [4K/50p] video output, use an HDMI2.0 cable that has the HDMI logo on it, and that is described as""4K compatible"". Should I buy the Lumix S5 II? Is it important to have a weather-sealed camera with no recording limits, that is equally capable of capturing professional-level photography and video content, while shooting in a wide variety of environments? The S5 II is strong when it comes to capturing dynamic range, almost matching the class-leading Z6 II throughout the tested sensitivity range. At high ISOs the Panasonic can capture as much as 2EV more dynamic range than the Canon and Sony cameras. For photography, the S5 II's big new feature is phase detection autofocus. Whereas previous Lumix cams relied on Depth From Defocus (DFD) Contrast exclusively, the S5 II features a hybrid system that mixes in masked phase detection pixels and can recognize people, pets, and wildlife. These types of focus systems have been around on other cameras for at least a decade (remember the first-generation Sony a7?) though modern implementations are far more advanced. Sigma 60-600mm Sports, 600mm, f/6.3, 1/100-second, ISO 100 I’ll show you some bursts with the mechanical shutter at 7fps first before switching to some with the electronic shutter at 30fps. Shooting alongside the R6 II, Canon’s recognition felt more confident, identifying birds from a longer distance when they were smaller on the frame, not to mention concentrating on their eyes when closer, but the bottom line is I still managed to get a decent number of keepers with the S5 II.I'm baffled to understand how the 8bit only + weak FHD A7III scored higher for video as well as the R6 which is altough good on paper, close to useless in real life (only weak quality option won't cause overheating). Full frame 4K 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording at 30p and 4:2:0 at 60p to give you all the flexibility you need with your video shooting projects.

Moving onto composition, the S5 II employs a 3.68 million dot OLED with 0.78x magnification, a little larger and more detailed than the 2.36 million dot 0.74x panel on the previous model.Here’s an extreme example showing how the camera handles multiple people on the frame, where the Human detection option is successfully surrounding lots of subjects with frames. You can tap the one you’d like it to prioritise. There’s no right or wrong here, but let me know which is your preferred camera of the three at high ISOs. Personally I’d say all three are looking good up to 6400 ISO, but any higher and you’ll steadily lose fine details to noise and smearing. I’d also say Panasonic’s default approach may leave the most visible noise, but not to the detriment of retained details. My experience with XT-2 w/Fuji 16mm f1,4 and XT-3 w/50mm f2 perform as expected with fast auto focus and no lens focusing sound. Fuji make some inexpensive compact lenses like 50mm f2. Fuji 16mm f1,4 probably the best lens ever owned by me; good size and weight.

Interchangeable-lens Panasonic cameras are designed with two sensor sizes, providing options for every level of creator. Full-frame S Series cameras are compatible with all L Mount lenses, while the original G Series Panasonic digital camera employs a Micro Four Thirds sensor that fits all MFT lenses. What people overlook (and I have stated that a few times here ...) is the ever increasing importance of AI. I would not rule out the great progress Pany has made being almost entirely attributable to AI - if you can predict "where" an object will be in the - say - next 1/60s, then AF accuracy becomes really exciting. This test compares the amount of random noise generated by the camera at different ISO settings as a proportion of the actual image information (the 'signal'). Higher values are better and we expect to see the signal to ratio fall as the ISO is increased. Set to the only RAW mode available, I managed 182 images at 7.8fps with continuous AF before the buffer filled. In any of these tests, the camera took between 30 and 45 seconds to write all of the images to the SD card. That’s quite a while to flush the full buffer, but you can grab more images as it’s clearing.

The S5 II uses a 24MP BSI CMOS sensor with 5-axis stabilization, in line with similarly-priced cameras like the Nikon Z 6 II and Sony a7C. The sensor supports a native ISO 100-51200 sensitivity range, and offers extended settings down to ISO 50 and up to ISO 204800. You can set the camera to snap 8-bit JPGs or 14-bit Raw photos, but Panasonic doesn't include 10-bit HEIF support despite that format's increasing popularity on hybrid cameras. Sigma 60-600mm Sports, 186mm, f/8, 1/200-second, ISO 320 For comparison, on the right is the same shot taken at 0.4 seconds but without IBIS where the image is very wobbly. In fact on the day, I needed a shutter speed of 1/160 without IBIS to match the steadiness of the image on the left, which results in a respectable six stops of compensation. This is noticeably better than the three stops I measured for the Sony A7 IV in a similar test.

If you’d like to shoot faster bursts, switch the S5 II to its fully electronic shutter. Previously this made no difference to the speed of the original S5, but now on the Mark II it’ll boost the burst speed to 30fps, with single or continuous autofocus. While Fujifilm now offers a similar Pixel Shift mode on its recent X-Series bodies, the S5 becomes quite unique amongst its full-frame rivals. Sony doesn’t start offering Pixel Shift until the pricier A7R series, while Canon doesn’t have it at all.
