Nick Driftwood | DON FRANKIE'S NEW SHOOTER - LUMIX S5II Demo of PDAF & Active Stabilisation @driftwoodtv | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
A little film written for the new Lumix shooter - the S5II. BEST WATCHED ON A BIG TV!
Shot with the 20-60 kit lens only. Driftwood's 'S5II V-Log V-Gamut LUT' employed.
The usual 'Demob' spent a day writing and improvising a sketch to demonstrate the fabulous & fast new Phase Detection Auto Focus plus Active Stabilisation on the new camera.
"I was very impressed with the responsiveness and speed of the AF with its 779 Phase Detection, 325 DFD Contrast AF and Deep Learning algorithms - together they provide superb abilities for those requiring AF. I can see the camera not only being used for event videography like weddings & documentaries but for narrative filmmaking too. The new Active Stabilisation ramps up the already good leading-edge IBIS to bring it to the top of all full frame cameras IMO. In fact I'm pleased I can put away the gimbal for once - this worked great in this film with my bespoke shoulder rig. I didn't have a cage available to me for the camera but Im sure they will be available when the camera is. The camera is a little taller than the old S5 so unless you have a half cage you will need a new one."
"Other great features are you can load up your own LUT as a 'burnt in' picture profile if you wish to and the 4 channel audio thru the XLR1 which is similar to the Lumix GH6 abilities."
"All in all, the S5II is excellent and I can't wait to see the S5IIX together with its all Intra codecs, Pro Res & SSD recording features like the GH6 plus USB-C to Ethernet Live broadcasting and wired/wireless IP streaming."
"I think everybody who had any doubt in Lumix are going to love the new S5II and X. Onwards and upwards!"
