Panasonic has announced a significant update for its latest full-frame Lumix cameras, the S5 II and S5 IIX. The firmware update improves the overall shooting experience and camera performance and brings considerable changes to the ways Panasonic shooters can share photos and videos.
Panasonic will release a firmware update for the S5 II and S5 IIX on October 24 that adds two new features to the 96-megapixel high-resolution mode, including the ability to shoot at a maximum eight-seconds and the ability to shoot handheld.
Panasonic has revealed that it is deepening the compatibility of its Lumix cameras with DJI's LiDAR focusing unit that pairs with the RS 3 Pro gimbal along with expanding its direct integration with features in the RS2, RSC 2, and RS 3.
Panasonic has announced updated information concerning the Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX full-frame mirrorless camera's video features and announced a firmware update for the Lumix S5 II.
Photographers are clamoring for the S5 II to such a degree that Panasonic says it won't have enough cameras to meet pre-order demand.
The wait is finally, mercifully over. After years of sub-par contrast-based "depth from defocus" autofocus performance in its cameras, Panasonic has finally brought phase detection to its mirrorless cameras in the full-frame S5 II and S5 IIX.
