L-Mount Is it normal for the S5 II to get slightly warm after 30 min in the menus?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently got a used Lumix S5 II and I'd like to check whether what I'm seeing is normal.
I did a simple test: I left the camera on for about 30 minutes, just navigating the menus. No recording, no burst shooting, with the rear screen flipped open.

Setup:
Firmware: latest version
Fan mode: Auto
Room temperature: 21°C (about 70°F)

After that time, the body feels mildly warm, not hot. The best way I can describe it is the warmth you'd feel on a surface where you've kept your hands for a while, even though I wasn't touching it. The warm areas are:
the area behind the display, where the screen's hinge assembly sits
the front part of the grip, roughly in line with the sensor
No overheating warning showed up and the camera kept working normally.
From what I've read online, many owners say their S5 II doesn't warm up in situations like this, so I wasn't sure if mine is within the norm. Since it's still under warranty, I'd rather check before ignoring it.
Do your S5 IIs get slightly warm after 30 minutes of idle use with the screen on? Is this just the magnesium body dissipating heat from the sensor and processor, or should I be worried?
Thanks in advance!

L-Mount S5IIX Double Lens Kit (20-60mm + 50mm f/1.8) at 1,700€ after cashback: historic low or wait for Black Friday?

1 Upvotes

Germany.

Looking at picking up a brand new S5IIX bundle with the 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 and the 50mm f/1.8. With the current Panasonic cashback promotion and VAT included, the final price comes down to 1,700€.

​For those tracking EU pricing on the S5IIX lately: is this about as low as the new retail price gets for the double kit, or have we seen deeper cuts during November/Black Friday sales? Also curious if it makes more sense to grab this bundle and flip the 20-60mm, or just hunt for a body-only deal.

Micro Four Thirds 42.5mm F1.7 or 12-35 F2.8?

3 Upvotes

I have the fantastic 25mm F1.8 on my GX85 but would like to get a news lense for low budget/diy events and weddings. Which one would you recommend? The portrait(ish) 42.5mm or the all rounder 12-35 f2.8? I only have the budget for one since I'm saving up for a G9ii. Probably 70/30 video/photo split.

Sometimes, you have to keep the elements minimal for the colours to take the spotlight.
