Panasonic LUMIX S5 Lab Test – Rolling Shutter, Dynamic Range and Latitude

We are running the LUMIX S5, the newest addition to the LUMIX S line, through our lab test. Curious to see how it fares? Read on! Since my colleague Johnnie has brought the Panasonic LUMIX S5 from Japan I was eager to run it through our lab test. By the way, please have a look at the nice portrait of Ai Kishimoto that Johnnie shot with the Panasonic S5 in Japan here. If you are not familiar how we test, please head over here. Rolling Shutter of the Panasonic LUMIX S5 As usual, we are using our strobe light to generate pairs of white and black bars (they appear due to the nature of CMOS sensor readout). Panasonic LUMIX S5 rolling shutter measurement in full frame 25p UHD mode: a quite average 21 ms are obtained. Counting the bars in full frame 25p mode 21ms of rolling shutter are measured. This result is OK but nothing special for a full frame sensor. The Canon R5, for example, has a really good 15.5ms value (in DCI 17:9 full frame mode). Panasonic LUMIX S5 rolling shutter measurement in APS-C 25p and 50p UHD mode: very good 10.5 ms are obtained. In APS-C mode the rolling shutter exactly halves, 10.5ms are measured for 25p and 50p. This is a very good valve for APS-C. Dynamic Range of the Panasonic LUMIX S5 at ISO 640 in V-Log The LUMIX S5 features a dual native ISO sensor, with ISO 640 and ISO 4000 being the...
