Design Philosophy

The LUMIX S5IIX was built under the "Shaping Emotions" design philosophy, with an exceptional design like no other in matte black.
LUMIX DESIGN aspires to create tools that respond to the creator's passion. Form and function shape the emotions of the heart; every part feels right and exactly where it needs to be. Hands sure of what to do allow the eyes to remain fixed on the subject. In shaping the ideal tool, our goal was to create a camera that you can use instinctively with precision control for maximum shooting pleasure.

LUMIX design philosophy: shaping emotions

The new all-black design of the LUMIX S5IIX is designed to encourage the creator to immerse themselves in the experience of capturing the subject, oblivious to the tools they are using. It was created to support artistic creativity, providing harmony with the image capture environment and preventing reflections from occurring on the iris or recording media.

Firmware 2.0 improves aggressive shooting styles

Ready for the most ambitious photographs

Hybrid Phased AF lets you shoot continuously with speed and precision, while the LUMIX S5IIX's highly advanced AF challenges the limits of sports, wildlife and car/motorcycle photography.* Additionally, the pre-burst shooting function allows take you back in time.* Now you'll always be prepared to capture the perfect moment.

*To use animal/car/motorcycle eye recognition and pre-burst shooting function, please update the firmware to version 2.0.

Ideal for recording on the move

The LUMIX S5IIX also allows you to record video on the move easily. I.S. Active determines the state of camera shake and optimizes correction ratios to compensate for even significant movement, while advanced E.I.S.* suppresses peripheral distortion that occurs during video recording. Now you can capture stunning images, even if you need to move around while the camera is recording.

*Update firmware to version 2.0.
