GB per hour = bitrate in Mbps x 0.45. Card times use 95% of the labelled size (formatting and file overhead). Card speed: V30 up to 240 Mbps, V60 up to 480, V90 up to 720, CFexpress above that. * Panasonic's stated minimum for that format, which is stricter than the bitrate alone needs. Scroll the table sideways on a phone.

Panasonic's card requirements
Recommended cards for the Panasonic LUMIX S5IIX
Panasonic's own or recommended cards first, then the most-reviewed cards on B&H for this camera's media. SD cards show how many of this camera's modes they can record; for other cards, compare the speed with the requirements above.
- SD, V90Sony 256GB SF-G TOUGH UHS-II SDXCHandles: 51 of 73 normal recording modes; the rest need a faster card
- SD, V90Lexar 256GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC (GOLD series)Handles: 51 of 73 normal recording modes; the rest need a faster card

Slow motion
In slow motion the camera writes data faster than the file's bitrate, because each second you shoot plays back as several seconds. These figures are per minute of shooting, not of finished video.

Questions
How long does a 128 GB card last in the Panasonic LUMIX S5IIX?
From 8 min in its heaviest mode to 13 hr in its lightest. In MP4(Lite) Long GOP (H.265/HEVC) at 29.97p (4:2:0 10-bit, 50 Mbps) it holds about 5 hr 24 min. Times use Panasonic's published bitrates and 95% of the card's labelled size.
What memory card does the Panasonic LUMIX S5IIX need?
It records to SD x2 (UHS-I/UHS-II) / external USB SSD. For its top mode (1,900 Mbps) you need CFexpress. Lighter modes work with slower cards; the table on this page lists the card speed for every mode.
How much storage does an hour of 4K take on the Panasonic LUMIX S5IIX?
Between 22.5 GB and 855 GB per hour, depending on the format and bitrate. MP4(Lite) Long GOP (H.265/HEVC) at 29.97p (4:2:0 10-bit, 50 Mbps) uses 22.5 GB per hour.
Can the Panasonic LUMIX S5IIX record slow motion in camera?
Yes. Panasonic lists 58 slow-motion settings, up to 60 fps at DCI 4K, 60 fps at 4K and 180 fps at 1080p. Slow motion writes more data per minute of shooting than the file's bitrate suggests, because each second you shoot becomes several seconds of video.
