Lumix S5IIX. High ISO test

In my work, both in documentary and in advertising, I use high sensitivity. I often work at 4000 ISO (dual ISO - minimal impact on image quality compared to 640 ISO in V-Log). And even if I raise the ISO to 6400, it doesn't care about the quality drop at all.
When the Lumix S5IIX came into my hands, the matter was obvious. I want to test with different sensitivities.
In the video you will see both V-Log and CineD2. Sensitivity from ISO 4000 to 51200.
The Lumix S5IIX is a great camera for the documentary filmmaker. Although I admit that it worked great during the implementation of the ad, which you will soon see.
The card records ALL-Intra in 400 bitrate, 4K, 4:2:2 - like S1H. This is what, for example, Netflix needs to produce movies. The S5II does not have this on the card.
To an external ProRes SSD, e.g. 5.8K, 4:2:2, 1.6 Gbps (bitrate). On the Atomos Ninja external recorder, we can record in ProRes and ProRes RAW.
Blackmagic Assist - record BRAW (Blackmagic RAW).
Depending on the project, you can choose the best option for post-production.
I love working on full frame, thanks to which high sensitivities allow filming in difficult lighting conditions. The perfect solution for your document. In addition, bright lenses, such as 24mm f/1.8, 35mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.8.
During the Lumix S5IIX event and premiere in London, I had the pleasure of doing a short test of this camera at high sensitivities. In the video you will see the original shots straight from the camera. I recorded in V-Log and Cined2.
The video seen here was loaded by me from an exported Apple ProRes 422 file in 4K.
W mojej pracy, zarówno w dokumencie, jak i reklamie, używam wysokich czułości. Często pracuję na 4000 ISO (dual ISO -minimalny wpływ na jakość obrazu w porównaniu do 640 ISO w V-Log). I nawet jeśli podnoszę ISO do 6400, to w ogóle nie przejmuje się spadkiem jakości.
Kiedy trafił do moich rąk Lumix S5IIX, sprawa była oczywista. Chcę wykonać test na różnych czułościach.
W filmie zobaczycie zarówno V-Log, jak i CineD2. Czułości od ISO 4000 do 51200.
Uwielbiam pracować na pełnej klatce, dzięki czemu wysokie czułości pozwalają na realizację filmową w trudnych warunkach oświetleniowych. Idealne rozwiązanie do dokumentu. Do tego jasne obiektywy, jak 24mm f/1.8, 35mm f/1.8 czy 50mm f/1.8.
Podczas eventu i premiery Lumix S5IIX w Londynie, miałem przyjemność wykonać krótki test tego aparatu na wysokich czułościach. W filmie obejrzycie oryginalne ujęcia prosto z aparatu. Nagrywałem w V-Log oraz Cined2.
Film tutaj widziany został przeze mnie załadowany z wyeksportowanego pliku Apple ProRes 422 w 4K.

Good test 👍

Splendid work ! Big GG

Footage looks 👍

[@PaulAntonescu]

Beautiful

Lumix finally cracked the ISO code

[@BK42Cycles]

Thanks for the test! I'm also rocking the LUMIX S5 II X, and I'm eager to give it a shot with higher ISO. What's your go-to noise reduction software?
See you tomorrow at the Beiks media show!

[@LightKeeper]

I use Neat Video for noise reduction. It is very good tool.

[@BK42Cycles]

Thanks, buddy, I got it all sorted out from your review video! 😄@@LightKeeper

[@sammadonline]

Thank you for the tests. Is here a possibility to download the originals so I can pixel peep?

[@LightKeeper]

Choose 3-5 clips and I will send you originals.

[@beijingrice7324]

Seems like ISO 12800 is quite useable for me

[@ichosvideoproductions6626]

Hello beautiful video, can I ask you where you bought the subtitles?
Thank you

[@LightKeeper]

Thanks. I introduced some of them myself (the simple ones). These animated from: www.motionvfx.com/store,mtitle-cinematic-2,p3561.html

[@Super_simple_diy]

In your video you explain “after noise reduction” does this mean camera has a function for this or is this with external software? If so what type of software?

[@LightKeeper]

I use Neat Video

[@Super_simple_diy]

@@LightKeeper is there a specific section on your video that shows what it’s like without noise filters?

[@yiezhe]

can i know how to activate the dual iso in photo mode? i still see a lot of noise in 6400iso. TIA.

[@LightKeeper]

It works only in film mode

[@yiezhe]

@@LightKeeper thanks for the info.

[@TVPALOTINA]

I put the iso on automatic. he doesn't go over 6 thousand. what am I doing wrong? I know that the camera's maximum iso is 51 thousand.

[@LightKeeper]

Find in menu option to change limit

[@UrbanIndiaRecords]

Hi Sir, For night shoot does CineD2 works better than VLog ?

[@LightKeeper]

Certainly LOG has a greater spread and greater noise in the shadows. If you can't remove noise in the program with a special plugin, it's better to record in CineD. However, when you have large differences in lights, it is worth using LOG. I generally record in LOG, always.

[@PaulAntonescu]

What about the natural profile ? Did you ever try it for high iso exposures ?
