Panasonic Lumix S5II Firmware Update (Version 2.0) Coming In June

The Panasonic Lumix S5II will receive a firmware update in June that adds a useful creative feature as well as further RAW output support. 

Available on 13 June 2023, version 2.0 firmware will bring RAW data output over HDMI as well as Blackmagic RAW capabilities, as seen on the Lumix S5IIX (available Summer 2023). 

The firmware update program will also include Live View Composite, enabling users to capture long exposure looks even in the daytime.
