Lumix S5II

Lumix S5ii manual Reddit S5ii Tips S5ii Setup and Settings Congrats! It’s a great camera. You just need to work your way thru it. I suggest you review each menu item, one at a time, and then go learn about it if you don’t understand it. Happy Shooting!

S5iiX and S1ii longtime user here! Been in this situation hunting lenses, many times, for10 yrs. Short answer if one-and-done: Sigma 20-200 Tried almost all Sigmas and Lumixes, bought every FF L mount focal length from primes to zooms, 14-200mm. M4/3 too. Can't go wrong with any starting out really.

I did because I'm ridiculous and wanted to treat myself. It's been so much more work than a beginner dslr to figure out and program a "one size fits most" mode, and only I can see the difference in the photos locally since they always get compressed online, even in dedicated cloud storage, but whate

I've mixed my Lumix S5ii vlog and my second's Sony A7iv slog3 with the same conversation LUT for several years now and literally nobody can tell the difference. Look at my posts and see if there are any giveaways.

It's very good for photography with a few caveats. This is based on my experience with the S5ii, latest firmware. AFC + TTL flash performance is still not on par with major brands, Sony, Nikon and Canon. There is a delay. It's good enough that many users don't care or don't notice but if you are com

Upgrade G9 to G9ii (much better in every way from sensor to AF) and keep PL 12-60 f/2.8-4 (add PL 50-200 f/2.8-4 and if need further reach 100-400ii f/4-6.3, both work well with 1.4x teleconverters) and get an S5ii with 24-60 f/2.8 and 35-150 f/2-2.8 and be done. Use each system to their strengths,

Debatable They vastly degraded the s5iix image quality with aggressive sharpening and NR post launch (firmware which can't be reversed) and later completely removed streaming functions which were heavily marketed and users specifically paid for with the s5iix over the s5ii Also every other update br

I actually think that the 24-105 f/4 lenses that most companies make get slept on. I use a 24-105 f/4 from Panasonic along with my Lumix S5ii as my standard corporate event setup. I use an on camera Canon EX flash that I pop a little extra light with. At corporate events, I have to get a lot of grou

I've been harping on Panasonic to fix their heavy spatial NR filtering they use on internal codecs for a long time. I noticed it starting with the S5iix on the first update in June 2023, I have a document written on it too. Unfortunately a huge downgrade after that update and it just looks very blan

High frame rates on the S5II which require an APS-C crop, selfie/vertical videos, Astro & landscape photography. Plenty of uses for a 16mm prime, especially a quality one with AF. Much more accessible than the sigma 14mm or 15mm Art lenses, wider than the lumix 18mm or Sigma 20mm primes.
