Dual 24.2 MP native ISO sensor.
The camera features a 35mm 24.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor that offers a wide dynamic range and high-sensitivity performance. The LUMIX S5 also achieves a maximum ISO 51200 of crisp, high-sensitivity video with the adoption of Dual Native ISO technology.
Exceptional video performance
The Panasonic DMC-S5K offers exceptional video performance, making it a serious choice for content creators and independent videographers. 4K video can be captured in 60p / 50p 4: 2: 0 10-bit and 4K 30p / 25p 4: 2: 2 10-bit internal recording for up to 30 minutes, as well as 4K 30p / 25p 4: 2: 0 internal recording 8-bit with no time limit.
The camera has slow and fast modes that give the user even more options for creative video ideas. You can capture 4K images ranging from 1-60 fps (30x fast to 2.5x slow) or if you are using FHD, 1-180 fps (60x fast to 7.5x slow).

6.5 steps of dual image stabilization.
The LUMIX DMC-S5K offers 5.5 stops of built-in stabilization, but when combined with a LUMIX S lens it increases up to 6.5 stops of dual image stabilization. This allows you to shoot in low-light situations at lower shutter speeds or achieve smooth video footage in hand without the use of a gimbal.
Perfect for low light situations
The LUMIX DMC-S5K boasts a wide dynamic range and reproduces sharp images with exceptional clarity. Noise is minimized even when shooting at a maximum sensitivity of ISO 51200, making it an ideal camera to use in low-light situations.
