Panasonic Lumix DC-S5D + S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3

The professional LUMIX S5 series: The best for film and photo.
Mirrorless hybrid full-frame camera that offers superior performance in both video and stills, giving videographers and photographers exceptional flexibility.
Based on the compact design of the LUMIX S5, the redesigned S5D is DJI LiDAR AF capable. When the S5D is paired with the DJI LiDAR Range Finder Module and DJI RS 3 Pro Gimbal, the range finder data is sent to the camera via USB and the camera controls the focus, eliminating the need for a focus motor. This allows for easier handling with a more compact size and greater freedom when working.

There is no need to calibrate the Lens, which saves time during setup. Thanks to the LiDAR's 43,200 high-speed metering points at a distance of 14 meters, extremely fast autofocus is realized, which is effective even when shooting in low light conditions.

In addition, the LUMIX S5D has all the features already familiar from the LUMIX S5, including a 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that impresses with a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity, and with Dual Native ISO technology enables crystal-clear videos with a maximum ISO 51200.

Exceptional cinema-quality movie-making performance
The LUMIX S5D offers outstanding video performance and can record 4K 60p/50p 4:2:0 10-bit and 4K 30p/25p 4:2:2 10-bit internally for up to 30 minutes. It is also capable of 4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit output via HDMI. There is no time limit for internal 4K 30p/25p 4:2:0 8-bit recording.

In addition to C4K video recording, the LUMIX S5D can output RAW video data to the ATOMOS NINJA V via HDMI at a resolution of 5.9K (5888x3312) 29.97p/25p, 4.1K (4128x2176) 59.94p/50p and Anamorphic 3.5K (3536x2656)/50p. A variety of auxiliary functions for video recording, such as the Vector Scope Display, Master Pedestal Adjustment and SS/Gain Operation (SEC/ISO, ANGLE/ISO, SEC/dB) are also available.

The LUMIX S5D offers a dynamic range of more than 14 stops, virtually the same as Panasonic's cinema cameras, to accurately reproduce both dark and bright areas. The ability to capture accurate colors and skin tones is a must for any filmmaker. The LUMIX S5D adopts the renowned color science of Panasonic's VariCam range as well as V-Log / V-Gamut.

Slow + Quick mode enables impressive slow motion and time-lapse videos in 4K (1-60fps, 30x fast to 2.5x slow) or in FHD (1-180fps, 60x fast to 7.5x slow).

High image quality even in low light conditions with Dual I.S.
The LUMIX S5D impresses with a wide dynamic range and reproduces sharp images with exceptional clarity. Even when shooting at the maximum sensitivity of ISO 51200, image noise is minimized, making it the ideal camera for use in low-light situations.

The LUMIX S5D features Dual Native ISO sensitivity, a technology first introduced in Panasonic's VariCam range of professional cinema cameras. Normally, image noise increases with increasing sensitivity with a single Native ISO image sensor. However, the Dual Native ISO image sensor in the S5D minimizes noise generation by selecting an optimal circuit depending on sensitivity before gain processing. This makes it possible to shoot at a high sensitivity of up to ISO 51200. Dual Native ISO offers filmmakers a greater variety of artistic possibilities as well as the ability to use less light on set, saving time. The Dual Native ISOs of the LUMIX S5D are 640 and 4000.1

The LUMIX S5D features Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) for powerful camera shake correction. Panasonic has developed an algorithm that precisely calculates the shake information captured not only by the gyro sensor, but also by the image sensor and accelerometer. This enables more accurate detection and compensation of camera shake, allowing the use of a 5 f-stop slower shutter speed2. By combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) in the camera and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the Lens of the LUMIX S series, the 5-axis Dual I.S.2 compensates for blur and enables the use of a 6.5 f-stop slower shutter speed3. The 5-axis Dual I.S.2 works for both photo and video recording, including 4K. Body I.S. compensates for camera movement, even when using other L-mount lenses without O.I.S.

Reliable and flexible for optimum creative freedom
The compact LUMIX S5D is characterized by its outstanding mobility, while still offering exceptional performance. The LUMIX S5D has a die-cast magnesium body and is splash and dust resistant4. The heat dissipation components are optimally designed to effectively dissipate heat to the outside, resulting in stable, continuous video recording over long periods of time.

The LUMIX S5D features a large LVF (Live View Finder) with a high magnification ratio of approx. 0.74x and a high-precision, high-speed OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display with a high resolution of 2,360K dots. The use of OLED for the LVF ensures a fast response with a minimal delay of less than 0.005 seconds. With an eye relief of approx. 20 mm, it offers high visibility and comfort for spectacle wearers.

A 3.0-inch LCD with a clear viewing angle in a 3:2 aspect ratio and a high resolution of 1,840K dots enables touch control. Composition during shooting in various popular aspect ratios such as 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 5:4 and 9:16 can be checked with the frame marker function. A REC frame indicator shows whether the camera is recording or not.

The LUMIX S5D has a dual SD memory card slot - one slot is UHS-I and the other is the fast, high-performance UHS-II (Video Class 90).
The camera's battery can be charged either via AC or USB, depending on the user's preference.
