Anything you can do…
The S5IIX is the upgraded version of the Lumix S5II, and do everything plus more of what its older brother can do.
- Phase Detect Hybrid Autofocus System: The S5IIX features a cutting-edge phase detect hybrid autofocus system. This technology improves focusing speed and accuracy, making it ideal for tracking subjects, even in challenging lighting conditions and when dealing with multiple moving objects. It eliminates issues like focus pulsing and inconsistent tracking.
- Dual Image Stabilizer and Active IS Technology: The camera is equipped with a Dual Image Stabilizer system and newly-developed Active IS technology. This combination provides impressive stabilization, reducing camera shake significantly. This is particularly beneficial for video shooting, offering near-gimbal smoothness with up to 6.5 stops of shake compensation.
- 24.2MP Full Frame CMOS Sensor: The camera boasts a high-resolution 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor. This sensor is designed for excellent image quality, and thanks to a partnership with Leica (L² Technology), it offers almost double the signal processing speed, likely resulting in faster and more efficient image processing.
- Open Gate Functionality: The S5IIX allows for open gate functionality, which means it utilizes the entire sensor area. This feature can be beneficial for flexibility in composition and accommodating customizable frame markers. It also allows for capturing content in various aspect ratios, ensuring compatibility with different deliverable formats.
