Newly developed 24.2M full-frame CMOS sensor with an effective pixel count of 24.2 million pixels The CMOS sensor delivers high-resolution, detailed rendering, and a wide dynamic range while achieving high-precision AF thanks to its on-chip phase-detection sensor. Furthermore, its faster readout speed enables faster continuous shooting and minimizes the rolling shutter effect (distortion that occurs when shooting fast-moving subjects) during electronic shutter and video recording. This sensor achieves a superior balance of high sensitivity and resolution.
Realistic rendering power achieved through high-resolution performance thanks to a low-pass filter-less design: By eliminating the optical low-pass filter, the high-resolution performance of S lenses designed specifically for S-series cameras and the high pixel performance of the image sensor are maximized. This results in realistic depictions of the texture of wild animal fur, the three-dimensionality of trees in forest landscapes, and the depth of the vast sky that evokes a natural landscape.
Venus Engine: A new engine featuring L2 Technology (L Square Technology), jointly developed by Leica and Panasonic. It rapidly processes image information output from the high-pixel sensor to deliver high-resolution, natural-looking textures. Furthermore, new Intelligent Detail Processing and noise reduction deliver superior image quality, high sensitivity, and color reproduction in both still and video capture, achieving high resolution and three-dimensional depiction. High-resolution video, including 6K 30p 10-bit recording, is also processed quickly. AF performance is also significantly improved through faster calculations and an improved AF algorithm, significantly improving subject detection performance and distinguishing between subject movement and characteristics for highly accurate AF. The newly equipped 779-point On-chip Phase-Detection AF uses an on-chip phase-detection sensor to quickly and accurately calculate the distance to the subject. The 779-point AF system not only captures dynamically moving subjects, but also, when combined with auto-detection AF, delivers excellent AF tracking performance, even in backlit or low-light situations where the subject is difficult to distinguish, scenes with multiple people crossing paths, and even smaller subjects. Ultra-High-Speed ​​Continuous Shooting at Approximately 30 Frames Per Second Captures the Perfect Moment with Ultra-High-Speed ​​Continuous Shooting at Approximately 30 Frames Per Second with 24.2-megapixel resolution. The electronic shutter in SH mode records RAW+JPEG and enables high-quality continuous shooting, capturing clear, moving subjects. The mechanical shutter enables high-speed tracking continuous shooting at approximately 7 frames per second (when AFC is enabled). It also features approximately four times the buffer memory of the DC-S5, significantly improving the maximum number of frames possible in RAW+JPEG continuous shooting. The S&Q shooting mode dial offers quick access to impressive slow-motion and fast-motion modes, allowing you to easily capture a world of slow-motion and fast-motion footage. This camera can record 4K video at speeds of up to 2.5x slower to 30x faster, and FHD video at speeds of up to 5x slower to 60x faster, while maintaining AF tracking. Supports video recording to an external SSD. Photos and videos can be recorded and played back on commercially available high-capacity external SSDs* via a USB cable (such as Type-C). For video recording, the S5 X can record large files directly to an external SSD* with high-quality, low-compression Apple ProRes 422 HQ (up to 1.9 Gbps) or high bitrate 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra (up to 800 Mbps) to an external SSD* with a capacity of up to 2TB. Recorded photos and videos can also be transferred from the external SSD*1 to a computer via USB cable, streamlining post-shooting backups and post-production. This camera supports SuperSpeed ​​USB 10 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2). The 5-axis, 6.5-stop Dual I.S. 2 system uses camera shake information detected by a high-precision gyro sensor to coordinate in-body image stabilization (B.I.S.) and in-lens image stabilization (O.I.S.). This achieves the equivalent of 6.5 shutter stops of compensation from mid-telephoto to telephoto. The 5-axis in-body image stabilization (B.I.S.) and 2-axis in-lens image stabilization (O.I.S.) work together to provide powerful support for photographers seeking high-quality, blur-free images and video. Aggressive shooting is possible in a variety of scenes without worrying about camera shake.
