The Lumix S5II/S5IIX Just Got Better (Again)!

[@JenniferKlinger]

So happy for the S5II compatibility with the LUMIX Lab App and the 36 LUT slots. I agree, that Panasonic are currently the best company regarding approvement of existing cameras.

Thank god they listen to the users. The Lumix Lab app, I've been waiting for so I don't have to keep using my Accsoon. That real time lut change for two luts is really amazing, especially for just creating on the go with quick turn around.

[@ayecreator]

Lumix is so good! Love the multiple LUT option. I would love a digital zoom like how the S9 has, so hoping for that one day!

[@JoshCameron]

The digital zoom function is actually insane. Granted, you won't get as much detail, but it's really handy for those shots you just want to share online :)

[@lim2001burger]

So glad I jumped onto the S5ii. Since I got it Panasonic has added new features like handheld hi res mode, and now real time lut and Lumix lab compatibility which is stuff I care about as a stills shooter.

[@12scarz9]

I want switch from Fuji and curious how the af performs in burst mode(afc)? And is there no problems with the background focus?

Oh man, I didn't even know about Lumix Lab! Thanks for that and the really helpful video :)

[@JoshCameron]

Thanks Steve, appreciate your time :)

[@r.s.w.k4569]

What about phase detect af at 60fps? It’s insane how Panasonic told no one that the 5ii and 5iix reverted to contrast detect at 1080 and 4K 60.

[@aleksivahapassi]

Yea man the af sucks balls in 4k 60, which i use all the time

[@leonkullig5852]

nahh mate, as far as I know it's phase detect in 4K60, however, not in 1080 60 which is a bummer, because there's no mode to film 60fps full sensor with good AF

[@orinorio1]

I use 4k50 and it's PDAF. Never had any issues with it or 1080p eve at 100fps it's still PDAF. Why would a camera that has PDAF use contrast detection?

[@r.s.w.k4569]

@@orinorio1 it’s dual af. Panasonic uses both for s5ii. Plenty of yt videos highlight the issue.

[@AlreadyTiredOfYou]

If 32bit is not available then there’s no reason to choose the xlr adapter over the new TASCAM FR-AV2

[@fedzciulla]

This is getting better and better: I really like to be able to tune the LUT I'm using when in Real Time LUT, something that was already on the S9. Another thing I'd really love, is ARRI Log, but I'm not sure it'll ever get to the S5 II, maybe there are commercial issues. Thecnically, if it's on the GH7, should be possible on the S5 II. Finger crossed 🤞🏻

[@perspectivefilms7342]

i was hoping for a release of an S1h mark II soon enough... must people will be waiting for a Sony Fx3 mark II as well... (Fx3 mark II pretends to have Global shutter with a capabillity of 4k 180Fps which is insane, but probably a 5-6k dolar camera...) Since the only bad point for the S5IIx is not having 4k slow motion cappabilities... if it has 4K 120fps without crop would be the perfect camera. but for its price still been and incredible camera.

[@MrBluetoniq]

Really is a bummer that there is no 32bit float on the S5ii/X with the XLR2. I'm assuming it's a hardware limitation with the cameras. I'll keep using my cheapo 3rd party mixer for gigs.

[@Sustainavore]

Awesome! got a link to the download site you can add to your description?

[@BlindeEzel]

I have the impression that the S5II is a lot faster to start up after this update. All the rest not too important to me.

[@vigneshwaranganesan]

I wish they have added the PDAF for the 100fps FHD as well for the S5II & X...any news about that ?

[@Jože-d2v]

It's a shame that Panasonic didn't fix the AFC on video above F8. AFC only works on Canon EF lenses up to F8. Above that is the focus from the S5 Mark I system, including the Lumix lenses. So if you have EF lenses do not buy Lumix and Sigma MC-21 for video.

[@Markchristiankc]

Totally here for the new app direction! I did wonder if they were going to keep the lumix sync app or move away from it 😂 happy they’re moving to lumix lab fully 🎉🎉

[@jamiegx]

I wish the S5 still got updates

[@Stefan54]

GH6 users: First time? Fr though most new features got could have been implemented with an update. Considering the S5 is the GH6 for Fullframe, it wonders me when they are going to discontinue it for a version with slightly better specs, like the S5D. Ironically the DJI support on there was added to the GH6 via Firmware update, so I don't get why they changed their mind on the S5.

[@H15teve]

New subject detection for S9 but not for S5ii&G9ii. Insane

[@johnchavez8386]

does the s5ii get 6k open gate st mp4 lite like with the s9?

Great video! Thanks! I don’t get why someone would want an xlr accessory without it also doubling as a top handle, but maybe that’s just me

[@ThefrequencyAF]

I just updated to this version and I just bought the Lumix s5iix. Is there a way to preview the lut but not bake it into the footage outright? New to the Lumix s5iix but watching every tut on it.

[@davidclark2476]

Yes it is possible, but I forgot how to do it.

[@Spencer_White]

Not something I'd use but good they've done a firmware update. I would like the digital zoom function within the S5ii though (even with loss of resolution) shame that hasn't been added.

[@filmmakerjo]

I've updated on my S5II but only seem to have the option for one LUT, no stacking.

[@orinorio1]

I was thinking last week if Lumix was going to release a new firmware update for the S5ii and here it is 😆. Not sure how much better the IBS can be but will be interesting to find out.

[@DidierMOULINPhotography]

Hello Josh Thanks again How did you manage to get the update. It’s not yet visible on the web site of Lumix firmware update ? I would appreciate this black and white Leica profile on my S1R too …

[@ShadmanAlrashid]

Any chance of adding Arri log 3 in panasonic full frame camera??

[@breakdownentertainem2433]

Great update !

[@cinematic_monkey]

I wish they expanded exposure bracketting options. I can't make a decent HDRI environment. I guess Lumix embraced Canon as king of photography for professional VFX and is not going to compete in that regard.

[@monodistortion]

Haha, feeling left out of all these firmware updates and Lumix Lab app when I have the S5. And Panasonic just released the S5D when it seems like that could have just been a firmware update. It's still working great for me, but I guess no technology is futureproof!

[@Stefan54]

That's what I was thinking. Considering the S5 is the GH6 for Fullframe, they could have done it since they added support for the GH6 via Firmware.

[@d.edwardsfreelanceeditorvi4212]

I wonder if Lumix is able to fix the HDMI lag?

[@MrManny1678]

Looks like the update is not live on their website yet.

[@jaysonisaacs]

Can you shoot raw and stack a rec709 put with a look lut so you get max dynamic range and no need to color grade in post?

[@Murphy599]

I've been using Lumix for past 2-3 years professionally. Love them. However I just bought Sony a7iv. 2 reasons. Compatibility with 3rd party software such as capture one for iPad, and faster fps shooting with flash / strobes. That's it. These two reasons made me switch. I will keep my Lumix s5iix for video and Lumix S1r because I just love that camera. But the main workhorse....Sony...and I'm kinda sad about it.

[@Giovanni-Giorgio]

I did the opposite. Sold a7iv and GM lenses to escape sony and get into lumix ecosystem when s5ii was launched. Lost money on those lenses but i'm still happy i did.

[@GadgetsBoy]

Has anyone tried to use the real time lut function since the update. My S5ii still only gives me the option for 1 lut!

[@ionrage]

just curious, if you uploaded the eterna lut from Fuji website, how does it look on this feature? Fuji film simulations are just top notch, put that into this system and basically you have a full frame fuji.

[@unickolay]

Good morning! After updating to the latest firmware, is there an option at S5 II to record video in 4k50 or 60 fps with a codec not h.265, but h.264? There was no such option on the previous firmware, at least I did not find it. Only in 4k30fps can you record in h.264, and in full HD of course. But in 4k50 or 60 I can’t find any mode with h.264

If only they gave S5 some love. I don't care for autofocus, I don't need an upgrade to s5ii, I don't know why these improvements should not come to s5. Not buying Panasonic again.

[@Stefan54]

Learned my lesson the hard way after upgrading from my GH5 (which got a LOT of firmware updates through the years) to the GH6, which is the S5 of MFT. It got abandoned really fast after not even 2 years and most features could have been implemented via updates, yet Panasonic prefered to make an extra buck of money by releasing those on a new model. Considering that I'm switching from my GH6 to Fullframe, I wonder if I should go for the S5iiX or wait for the release of yet another model.

How am I a Panasonic shill?

Unfortunately that's not how the world works, and I've spent a long time cultivating an audience that is interested in Lumix and all things L-Mount. I've helped many people get more out of their lumix camera, and even if there's a few videos that you don't agree with/ aren't interested in, it's wildly unfair to call me a 'Panasonic shill' just because I'm doing what I've always done.
