This new firmware served me very well last week! I shot a corporate video at a dental clinic. Had to capture the procedure, interview with the doctor and the patient, and grab whatever additional B-roll I could get. Had only 2 hours to do all of that. I didn't bring a gimbal with me, had to keep my setup quick and easy. The High E Stabilisation is ridiculously good. The footage I got was like shooting on the gimbal! It can be a bit jerky, but doing some extra stabilisation in post, and the shot was buttery smooth. Honestly, I forgive Lumix for the 1.6x crop. If that is what I can achieve with a minimal handheld setup, I'll gladly take that tradeoff!
Those are the same situations I find myself in. For run and gun corporate work covering conferences and special events this stabilization is a great solution.
Thanks for the information - I do a lot of social media work - I was thinking of adding a S9 to my A7R5 just for the need for the odd stabilised clips, as I hate gimbals
Actually, YOUR video at NAB made me switch. No joke. I had just ordered a Sony FX30 when I stumbled on your video. I was so disappointed with the FX30 ibis I immediately returned the camera and am going to order the LUMIX. Perfect camera for my needs. Keep the videos coming!
Guys the real hero is the fan they put into the camera. Who ever came with that idea should get a raise. I filmed in full sun 28 degree for 2h in 4k and the camera was cold like a fridge. Lifetime of a sony camera would be 10min.
The biggest difference I love with this new mode is it reduces rolling shutter artifacts. If they made a mode that just addressed that in camera that would be wonderful.
For anyone curious you can use the Sigma 30mm 1.4 Art on the camera without triggering S35 mode. The lens actually covers C4k without a vignette in full frame as well.
In this example up until 70mm it was just in body but after it was with OIS. You'd get an extra stop with OIS. Probably will definitely help but won't see a huge difference
Correction for 12:03 Super 35 is actually APSC, what you were referring to was Full Frame/35mm equivalent. 35mm FF (8 perf, 36mm x 24mm) and Super 35 (4 perf, 24mm x 18.9mm) are not the same thing.
Great video thank you! Quick question about the Sigma ring adaptor + EF lens : have you tried it for photography? One year ago when I first tried it, it was too slow to focus, making it impossible to use for event/sport photography. Thank you!
Bro, great content. Can you please tell me which AUTOFOCUS setting did you use at 9:49 to have the Autofocus working as expected without putting hands in focus?
The new stab in crop is a little bit special and I can see some use cases where I'd use it with long lenses as you have, but... A lot of people already do alright on a onewheel or a rickshaw type setup (where the operator is on a wheeled (but not a full dolly) platform of some kind). to my mind it's mostly useful for documentary and wildlife type situations, where one either wants a lower footprint or there simply isn't pavement to operate on. for the most part, I think most folks gather up their b-roll as static handheld shots, or with simple low pans or jibs...which everybody else's IBIS, from Sony to Fuji to Canon to Olypus, do just fine with. There's a specific shooting style where one REALLLY wants to move with the subject in b-Roll, and *maybe* it could bring an exceptional new kind of style to content if the kids out there come up with a whole new genre of videography to take advantage of it. But I don't see anyone switching systems for this as yet. That would happen *after* the looks of that new style have been achieved, if and when there's a bandwagon folks want to pile onto. someone has to get lightning into the bottle before anyone will be thirsty, tho.
I normally film quickly and not professionally at art fairs and use the 20-60 with mostly focal length 28 with gimbal. Now I have also filmed without a gimbal with the new e-stabilisation. I will now sell the gimbal... And the crop is not a problem because I filmed with focal length 20. Same look as before.
@@DustinArmstrongPro I'm really hoping for this year, especially with the A7Siv coming out. really want to see if they can make a true video monster with Sony level epic AF for it.
Funny enough this Firmware is why i just bought the camera. Nice to have a Lumix as a B camera. (I haven't had a Lumix since the GH4, so it's nice to be back)
Nice video!, I saw your video running at NAB and I was sheeeesh can't wait to tomorrow to try the firmware and do the same thing. You ran first with the Laowa 10mm zero-D, was wondering how you liked it? Of course it's a niche lens but still, how do you like it? Is it worth the price? or Would you suggest another one (I know it's only manual focus)?
Hi Dustin, I loved the results I got with S5II and I’m seriously considering switching to Lumix. I have one quick question for you. What’s the best mic you can recommend for S5II?
A very detailed review, lumix pulls us over and over again, everything is really like a surprise,autofocus,stabilization, remote work on files is super
What about the 24-105 OIS lense? Does the Dual IS helps even more with the High e-stabiization? (I am considering buying the 24-105 for the Dual IS and for the extra focal length, compared to sigma 24-70)
I've barely tested it but I've made a few driving videos and it's absolutely amazing!! So happy :) 10:52 I'm doing this exact thing! I have the 10-18 and the 55-250 and they're actually amazing on this camera
in E-standard you can see the bottom corners of the lens hood or ring. but still good 13:28 but shaky but that high was gimbal like but out of all the test, I'd like high
Thanks for the detailed presentation. 2 observations: a. If I understood correctly, using the joystick to change to faces or humans (in a scene with many people) ONLY works, in FULL AREA MODE ? What happens when it is used, focus area or one area ? b. Incredible e-stab, BUT, when using 50 / 60 fps, the crop becomes 2x ??!!! (ie the 24mm lens "becomes" 50mm?)
The LUT can be baked on proxys with "Real time lut", it's more simple that using "my photo style". The LUT need to be OFF, because the camera can't bake it and display it at the same time.
Thank you for the true progression of autofocus with the new firmware. Please could you do a video on Panasonic S5ii X connection to Ninja V and video recording formats
I have a problem with my S5iiX. When I connect my monitor (HDMI - Info Display - on) I can have Display info only on 1 display (HDMI monitor or camera display) and not both. Do you have a solution for this?
Just finished selling my sony gear, switching to Lumix mosly cos of the stabilization, its just the way i use the gear, I'm tired of always carrying the gimbal with me. I will be shooting much more handheld, and clonking a lighter setup in the future.
For the price Panasonic is really great! My first real camera was the GH5, loved it. I eventually went full frame which I am happy with still have soft spot for Panasonic. Thanks for the video Dustin.
The new high e-stab is great on Lumix 70-300 for videong wildlife and anything far away, the crop acts like a TC this way. I am a stills photographer who just started taking short video clips along with photos and don't do editing... Not so far anyway so this is excellent for the casual videographer. I'm new to mirrorless, not just Lumix S5ii.😊
Fantastic video, I really like the way you presented the new update 👏🏻👏🏻 Btw is there a Lumix discord server or something like that? I couldn't find any, besides the closed Instagram group that you mentioned in some video. Figured maybe it would be good to have one?
Excellent video as always. What is really like to know is can this camera with its new firmware save me money. What I mean by that is can I pass on a tripod, gimbal, slider, lidar autofocus and still be able to create high quality work? That’s a video that you should make. Please!!!!
🙏. My opinion is no you can't. Those are all tools that can't be replaced. But this can definitely work in a lot of scenarios if you understand its limitations and disadvantages

TL:DR If there isn't a setting to fix jerky pans, the Stabilization feature is super over hyped compared to reality use... The downside I've been experiencing with the stabilization is when I DO want to pan handheld either up/ down or left/right, diagonal etc. the stabilization wants to lock in place to mimic a tripod but then does a big jerking movement in the direction i'm panning. This is not ideal and unless there is a setting i'm missing, this totally defeats the point of stabilization.
@@DustinArmstrongPro In 1080p at 50 and 60 fps if you are in APSC mode then you have PDAF not contrast. In full frame 1080p 50 or 60fps you have contrast AF.
@@DustinArmstrongPro the thing is though Dustin, some of us still use 1080 and rely on auto focus. It wasn’t stated at launch that PDAF was not available for this and for people like me, who rushed out and bought it we found out the hard way.
Was looking at switching from my Fuji xh2s to the s5ll mainly because Fuji firmware seems to be screwing things up with each iteration, lumix looks pretty good but these updates look ok but AF still looks and issue and eye/face more so, improved for sure but a long way to go. So much to like from lumix though I’m sorely tempted, man in bonus would be to do away with the Fuji fanboy tantrums all over the internet 😂 time for a grown up camera LOL
Watching this video made me realize how far lumix af is from sony Af 😅😅😅 we are at a point with the a9iii where it can focus a flying bird at 120 fps while lumix is still trying to focus 24 fps 😢n no tracking in 2024 😢
@@DustinArmstrongPro no excuse for Panasonic, they deliberately chosed not to go pdaf and as an ex pana user, they were easily 4-5 years ahead of everyone in the mirrorless/ hybrid space. Cameras are just tools and I don't support people hyping outdated gear to newcomers...so chill. If tmrw Panasonic is ahead again in both body and optics, I will surely switch as long as it's making my job easier ;)
Maybe in AF they're a bit behind but specs and features this camera still has things and has got new things added that many other cameras don't have that are newer. Depends on what you need no camera will fulfill every job 100%
Do you think the auto focus has improved enough to film fast moving sports? I know its not to the level of Sony or Canon, but do you think it's reliable enough? I'd love to see someone do a video on this but I haven't found anything.
@@DustinArmstrongPro ideally video. I think in terms of its photo capabilities the auto focus should perform well, but for video I’m really curious to see if this firmware has improved its detection capabilities for sports videos. I working on dipping my toes in that arena, but the autofocus is a little concerning.
@@DustinArmstrongPro yeah but that is unfortunate lots of people recording 50/60p for that occasional 2x slowmo in post, optical flow is heavy on hardware
I mean that's fine. Choose the tool that's best for what you do most not because it's the cool thing to do or your favorite content creator or something uses a certain camera/brand
S5ii is worthless without 4k60 full frame no crop regardless of how good the IBIS is. I sold mine after this firmware update because it wasn't included.
not as good as I wish it could be. High E Stabilisation provokes ghosting and gives blurry 4k . Only good for vlogging and home videos , not for serious work
They are not. Your attention span is too short. Increase your attention span. Or watch them yourself, 14min at a time. LOL! (The nerve of some people) Smh.

In 1080p yes PDAF is disabled I believe still. 4k60 S35 it's not though
@@DustinArmstrongPro yeah but that is unfortunate lots of people recording 50/60p for that occasional 2x slowmo in post, optical flow is heavy on hardware
I was about to change to LUMIX from canon, but that 24-105 2.8 PZ is a game changer for documentary videos, so NO!!!
I mean that's fine. Choose the tool that's best for what you do most not because it's the cool thing to do or your favorite content creator or something uses a certain camera/brand
Why not use and adapter from ef to L mount? Like the sigma Mc21?
@@DustinArmstrongPro overall LUMIX beat all the brands, I love the features but for now canon is the best for what I need
af now works better , but still not as good as Canon/Sony, still no good tap follow focus function.
Depends how you're using it. I came from Sony and the way I use AF I don't miss my Sonys
@@DustinArmstrongPro yep, that's true . I have Sony , it used to be my main cam , but after buying Lumix I can't use Sony anymore .
S5ii is worthless without 4k60 full frame no crop regardless of how good the IBIS is. I sold mine after this firmware update because it wasn't included.
Another one from Japan
And I'd still be making the same videos regardless of any of that cause I did it for years before LUMIX did anything for me
not as good as I wish it could be. High E Stabilisation provokes ghosting and gives blurry 4k . Only good for vlogging and home videos , not for serious work
Depends what your definition of serious work is. But still it won't replace a gimbal that's for sure
We shoot Lumix but dude you seem well desperate... ibis on high looks like warp stabilizer in fc7 😂😂😂
No 4k 120fps .still ?? 👎
Pretty sure that's a hardware issue
Not him, lots of BS,he is probably doing nothing interesting, he sounds like ducky Trump
Your videos are too long. 28 min is too long. Break it in 2 parts (2x 14min ish).
Sometimes they're long, sometimes they're short 🤷
@@DustinArmstrongProthat’s what she said
You're promoted
Lmaoooo
They are not. Your attention span is too short. Increase your attention span. Or watch them yourself, 14min at a time. LOL! (The nerve of some people) Smh.
