Introduction
Featuring M4/3 CMOS sensor, the Zenmuse X5S supports up to 20.80 MP still photo capture.
It is capable of capturing 5.2K 30fps CinemaDNG video and Apple ProRes Video as well as 4K
60fps using H.264. The Zenmuse X5S is built using the M4/3 interchangeable lens standard. A
variety of shooting modes, including single shooting, burst shooting and interval shooting, provide
more options of capture. Burst and AEB is available, with up to 14 stills.
When the DJI™ CINESSD™ is in use, the Zenmuse X5S is able to record lossless videos with a
bitrate of 5.2 Gbps in the CinemaDNG format or capture DNG stills at 20fps continuously.
The optional DJI kit lens is 15mm f/1.7 ASPH (equivalent to 30mm in 35mm format) with a
72-degrees eld of view. Supported Lens details refer to Page 5 of Supported Lenses for the
Inspire 2.
When mounted on the Inspire 2, the 3-axis gimbal provides a stable platform for the camera to
get clear shots even during rapid maneuvering. The gimbal tilts the camera across a -130° to
+40° pitch angle and pans ± 320° in both directions. Live HD video from the camera is streamed
to the DJI GO™ 4 app.
