Product Information

Last I looked Nikon has some of the most recognised and loved colours in the business. And the ibis is regarded as some of the best. Doesn’t have the numbers of the Canon but certainly comparable in practice. There are a few different color profiles available for creators who want to snap ready-to-share JPGs: standard, portrait, vivid, and landscape, as well as the film-like L.ClassicNeo and L.Monochrome looks. Note that there's some overlap with the V-Log, HLG, and CineD2 video profiles because you can use any of those for stills and vice versa. Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm F2.8 AIs, f/2.8, 1/500-second, ISO 100 To show it in action, I recorded the view when composing with the Lumix S 85mm, an unstabilised lens, here without IBIS enabled where the view is wobbly. After enabling it in the menus and returning to the live image though, the view becomes much steadier, allowing you to compose more precisely. bit, C4K/4K 30p/25p 4:2:2 10-bit, 4K 8-bit with no limitation of video recording time and 14+ stops of V-Log/V-Gamut. Larger full-frame sensors are the professional photographer’s standard, but they’re less common in the video world. The benefit is that they can gather more light as they have about 2.5 times the surface area of APS-C sensors found in rival cameras like the APS-C King, the Fujifilm X-T4.

The S5's dynamic range is remarkably consistent throughout the tested sensitivity range, Though it's not class-leading at lower sensitivities, it matches the rival cameras through the ISO 200-6400 region, and then comes out on top at the upper end of the sensitivity scale.For sports photography, longer lenses, extended vertical shooting or just longer battery life, there's an optional DMW-BGS5 battery grip. (Image credit: Panasonic) The S5 offers 95% of what I expect. A higher resolution EVF? Nice to have but not the big issue. Full sensor read-out at 4kp60? That would be a game changer. Switching to Face and Eye mode, the S5 II still isn’t finding my eye in complete profile, but re-acquires me as soon as I begin to turn to face the camera.

Anamorphic 4K] 3328x2496 (4:3) 23.98p, 150Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP)* / 100Mbps (4:2:0 8-bit LongGOP) (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, LPCM) *HLG is selectable. The S5 II also inherits the six aspect ratios of its predecessor, so along with the native 3:2, you can choose to crop JPEGs into 4:3, 16:9 or 1:1, as well as panoramic 65:24 or 2:1 options. More options than Canon and Sony there. Dynamic range is measured in EV (exposure values, or 'stops'). It's a measure of the camera's ability to record detail in extremely bright and dark areas of the scene. The higher the value, the better. Anamorphic 4K] 3328x2496 (4:3) 25.00p, 150Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP)* / 100Mbps (4:2:0 8-bit LongGOP) (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, LPCM) *HLG is selectable. I shot in RAW+JPEG but since the S5 II wasn’t supported by Adobe at the time I made this review, you’re looking at JPEGs out of camera here where you can compare the relative approaches each has for dealing with noise reduction and detail.Moving onto composition, the S5 II employs a 3.68 million dot OLED with 0.78x magnification, a little larger and more detailed than the 2.36 million dot 0.74x panel on the previous model.
