Thanks man! I use a lot of lights to make this happen 🙃. Really lighting is just as important if not more important than the camera. If you can get the image exposed properly everything else will look good.
@@GlenReed When using a field monitor with the lumix g7 like a (freeworld monitor) does anyone know what in camera settings you use to view what your shooting on the field monitor while your recording. My field monitor is just black with the words displaying “recording in process”
Also, in case you didn't mention it already: Turn on constant preview too so you can see the aperture and shutter speed adjustment effects in real time.
When u change to CINE-D , cant you see the noise it brings in. Use Natural in the Day, and Cine V at night , or low light. Cine V produces the lowest noise than any other profile
Thanks for the tips! I would still use Cine-D in the day since noise is not an issue to get the most dynamic range. As for low light normally I try not to go above 1600 ISO and use faster glass if possible. But next time I’m in a low light situation with it I will give Cine-V a try 😉. Thanks for watching!
Bought a G7 when they came out in 2015, sold it a couple years ago. Bought a NOS Lumix G7 on eBay, saw your unlock. Priceless! Kudos for great production ...
Great content! My G7 is arriving today. I'll definitely try everything mentioned in the video. Subscribed and looking for more awesome video making tips :)
@@GlenReed OH, if you will ever manetion G7 in your videos make sure to manetion no to buy them in Japan (even tho they might be cheaper). They come only with Japanese menu (even in service mode language can't be changed[I think Sony does it too]). Something worth to mention I think. Thx
@@GlenReed You just gained a new subscriber! I've been watching plenty of videos today but yours is top notch🏆🏆. Can't wait to check out some of your other uploads!
Hey Glen - thanks for the great tips! Much appreciated. I wanted to ask you if you could give me any advice on good Video editing programs out there for Windows 10. I'm in process of wanting to start video editing, and creating content for social media platforms and would like any programs you could recommend to me. I appreciate your help!! Thanks..
Hey! Thanks for watching! Even though it takes some time to learn, I would highly recommend using Davinci Resolve. The Free version is VERY good and there are many tutorials online to help you learn. I use Davinci Resolve almost daily.
@@GlenReed - Extremely Green and learning about the functionality so you are an amazing teacher. Very easy to listen to minus the self absorbed tone. Some channel the host sounds like they love their own voice. You channel was NOT LIKE THAT! Thank you.
I’ve been there man. Keep working at it and it time it will happen. Every time I’m in that position and can’t afford something I need I pay about it, God owns it all anyways 😉
Interesting point European panasonic G7's shoots 1080p at 50fps not 60fps and 25fps in 4k not 30fps Unlocking the camera will change your European settings so you can use 60fps in 1080p and 30fps in 4k 😁
Thanks for this video, it's exactly what I was looking for! However, I noticed that after unlocking the new settings the usb connection to my computer doesn't work anymore. Do you know why that happens and if there's a workaround to that?
I have heard this from other people. Personally I don't use the computer connection on any of my cameras as its usually the slowest way to transfer data. I just use a external card reader to save a ton of time. Thanks for watching!
i did this unlock but it is only for 4k, then i notice that when i connect my g7 to my pc its not being recognized, then i back to default setting and recognized again, just in case someone have this issue too.
I am having this problem as well! Is that really the only way to fix it is to go back-and-forth from factory settings to unlocking unlimited 4K each time?
Unfortunately it’s the only way to get unlimited 4K 😔. I would suggest using an SD card reader rather than connecting the camera to the computer. Thanks for watching.
I'd say probably once I can I'll get the g9 and maybe pair it up with the gh5s. The g9 is the perfect photography camera but the video is also insane and the gh5s is a perfect video camera that's great in low light even if you'd like to take photos with it. Seems like a great match. I'd go with the g9 first though because it's not as expensive and I'm not to crazy on video.
The G9 is an awesome camera and is very capable in video as well. But looks like they will be introducing a couple new m4/3 cameras in a few days. This will probably lower the prices of the GH5S and G9.
@@GlenReed that's great. And I'm waiting for pentax's new dslr to drop a bit. Once the newer cameras have a bit of a price drop it'll be easier to get my hands on em.
does unlocking the G7’s recording timer limit affect the camera in any negative way? just wondering if i should enable the setting without having to worry about anything happening to my camera or it’s settings. thank you!
Excellent video - straight to the point and very well explained. I'm looking at doing a podcast with 3 cameras and looking at this, but I'm a newbie.

Also lens you recommend that'll just "do the job on the cheap"? Any advice greatly appreciated. Or what would you recommend for camera and lens for what I want to do? Cheapest possible but I don't want them to overhead, I'll always have them plugged in so I haven't got to worry about battery life and record all three in a atem mini pro iso. It's just for youtube and a labour of love.
Awesome content! Do you have a video showing your lighting setup in the office your in? I have an office similar to yours with some LEDs and Edison bulbs but my monitors and LED always get over exposed
Thanks! I've changed my studio up a few times lol. Unfortunately I don't have any lighting videos at the moment. However, there are two options to keep your monitors and bulbs from over exposing, either lower the brightness of the monitor and bulbs or add more light to the room to balance the exposure between you and the monitors/bulbs. Hope this helps answer your question. Thanks for watching!
I’m trying to video record on my LUMIX G7 and I’m running the HDMI from my camera to the tv. Once I hit the record button on the camera, it instantly stop showing on the tv screen. How do I keep the recording showing on the tv while it’s recording?
Unfortunately there is no work around for this. The G7 cuts the feed to the HDMI port when recording, its a limitation of the camera. You would either need something like the Panasonic G85 or an external recorder to record and also HDMI out to the TV. Sorry for the bad news but I hope this helps answer your questions. Thanks for watching.
Hello great video. I bought a Panasonic Lumix G7 to record my sons football games but I followed all your steps but my camera doesnt have the cinelikeD Option to record. it has everything else. Is there a way to unlock the cinelike D or if not which 1 do i use to record games (standard) ?
My lumix g7 having a issue that when Ian recording the screen is showing black ad white but after recording the clip is playing in colour mode. Please help me that I want to see my screen colour while recording. Thank you.
It sounds like you have Monochrome Live View enabled. Go to the menu with the wrench and the C and on menu 5 of 9 change the Monochrome Live View to off. This should fix you problem. Thanks for watching!
@@GlenReed oh my god it’s working . Since 3 weeks I was worried 😟. But now I am happy. Thank you so much. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳. And Subscribed. Thank you. And please subscribe my channel also www.CZcams.com/ismartharishyt
Glen thank you for showing how to unlock the record time limit on the Panasonic G7. I shall try this with the Panasonic S5 when I eventually purchase it and when it's in the 4K 10 bit mode hopefully it will work. How did you find out how to unlock the 30 minute recording time limit on the Panasonic G7.
The S5 is an awesome camera! I don’t remember off hand how I found the record limit unlock since it’s been a few years now, I think I may have found some leaked info on a website somewhere (I’m totally not smart enough to figure it out on my own 😊). It will likely not work with the S5 since they are totally different cameras, but it’s worth the try. Thanks for watching!
Glen you never know. It might work then hey presto it will mean the Panasonic S5 is cheaper than the Panasonic S1 brand new and it can have unlimited recording in both 8 bit and 10 bit 4K.
Hi glen thanks for this tutorial, I did all of the things. A question about photostyle; It just simply isn't an available option on my G7, running firmware 2.2 and purchased in 2018. I'm late to the party and think that I missed something.
Your very welcome! The Cine D style is only available in the movie mode. Sometimes people mistakenly put the mode dial toward the power switch instead of the marking on the other side of the dial. This may solve your problem. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Just an FYI - if you do the unlimited unlock then my G7 was no longer recognized by Windows 10 and i couldn't do file downloads via usb cable. I did the reset and it worked via usb again, I like the unlock, but i need the usb downloads more . . . Otherwise, thanks for the video settings info!!
Thanks for the info! A few people have mentioned this. For me I use a external card reader which in my experience is faster to transfer the large files.
Check and make sure you have more storage on your SD card. The limit is only for 4k and will still be limited to the amount of storage you have remaining. Hope this helps.
Great video, do you have anything on editing after talking footage on the Lumix g7? What the best editing software for beginners ? I'm making an online floristry course so I need to brand it and be able to make it look professional thanks
I’m actually considering doing a editing/color grading video for the G7 and G85. Thanks for letting me know this is of interest to you. I personally use mainly Davinci Resolve Studio but I also use Final Cut Pro, in my opinion these are fantastic editing platforms. Davinci is a little more complex, but they do offer a free version and a free training course that covers everything the software has to offer. Final Cut is a bit simpler but is also a bit limited in comparison. Thanks for watching!
These settings work great for color grading. Using CineD will give you the most latitude in post production. Keep in mind 8 bit footage can only be pushed so far regardless of the settings. Thanks for watching!
Hi Glen, is there any tutorial about what type of SD card should I buy to shoot 4K with G7? There are a lot of SD types and classes and it`s hard to choose :)
What camera & settings are you using to record yourself at your desk? This the look I want to achieve while recording indoors. Much appreciated... ROGAN
Hey thanks for the comment! Most of the time I’m using the Panasonic S1 with the Sigma 24-70 f2.8. My camera is usually at f2.8 ISO between 800-1250 SS 1/50 @24fps. Lately though I have been using a lot more light with my settings @ f4.0-5.6 ISO 640 (lowest for V-Log) SS 1/50 24fps. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching!
If you are only going for 1 lens I would go for something like this to cover a wide range of focal lengths amzn.to/3w5sP6X and it’s decent in lower light. You can also try a phone app called Artemis Pro to simulate what framing you’d need so you can find the proper focal length for your podcast.
Yes, one lens. I know absolutely nothing about cameras.... So it needs to be as simple as possible. Point and push record 😂 Does this lens zoom in and out? Sorry for my ignorance with cameras.
@shawnfield161 yes it does! It’s a great beginning lens. As you learn the you can look into getting prime lenses. Really even if you can find a used kit lens from the G85 it’s a good lens too.
What are the best settings for livestreaming? I am planning on sending the hdmi feed out into an ATEM mini pro for livestreaming, so there will be no post processing.
If you want more of a live feel I would just use 4K 30p Standard profile with a clean feed out of the HDMI. This would give you the sharpest looking image and the ATEM will handle the down sampling to 1080p.
Thank you for your lesson! I have two questions: 1) In my Lumix G7 I can have maximum 50fps in FULL HD. How did you get 60fps in 4K? Is there a magic trick? 2) How Is the name of your video monitor? Thank you very much.
You're very welcome! I think you misunderstood, in my region the camera can shoot in Full HD 60p not in 4K 60p. As for the monitor if you are referring to the camera monitor it's the Fotga DP500 A50 amzn.to/2LaBcqr If you are referring to my color grading monitor its a 32" LG 4K monitor amzn.to/2VKDxdr Hope this answers your questions. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the best guide. But for some reason 4K unlimited recording is not getting enable for me by using those multi key press. I'm on Firmware 2.2.
That is usually based on the mode the camera is in. Try rotating the mode dial to a different photo mode or video mode, that should give you more options. Hope this helps 🙂
Hey Glen great video man, I have a couple of questions. One is how do you choose 100 iso with Lumix g7, I read in the manual that you have the option of extending iso, but that option my camera is grey so I can't choose it. there is something you need to do get that which I don't know now. My other question when you upload your footage to Davinci in what color science do you use in color managment for Lumix G7 when shooting in Cinelike D? There is only a Panasonic V Gamut/V-log there or choosing rec709 is better?
Thanks! I believe the extended iso feature is only available in photo mode. But I don’t really use the extended features as it’s artificial and can cause other problems. Really it’s only good for lowering exposure when you don’t have and filter handy in my opinion. As for Davinci Reaolve, just the default of Rec.709 is all you need. V Gamut/V-log are for cameras that use a log profile to increase dynamic range which the G7 does not. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
This is a great video, however, I did everything as instructed and my files are still coming out in separate 6 minute chunks even though the camera indicates I can record for 2+ hours. Is this normal?
Unfortunately yes, you can now record unlimited but the camera will always separate the video into smaller files. There is no loss in frames though so you simple place all the files in your editing timeline and it will play like one continuous file. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching!
Nope! You can leave it unlocked as long as you want. I basically just gave instructions on how to reset it just in case people didn’t like the warning ⚠️ symbol. Thanks for watching!
So question what is the best settings to keep the camera focus on you without it autofocusing off me when I'm doing a video I'm having this issue it's not staying focused on me and more the background I have it on AF mode
Ok, so I checked out your channel (and subscribed 😉). I see that you are doing a lot of sit-down talking videos like I do. I would suggest to use manual focus and then once you're ready to record use the app to set focus on yourself and then it wont change focus on you. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your support czcams.com/channels/pWquuZsxf_shuOAWcIWMew.html
How to setup your studio. I like the lighting setup, bluish and warm at side but clear light at your face
Thanks man! I use a lot of lights to make this happen 🙃. Really lighting is just as important if not more important than the camera. If you can get the image exposed properly everything else will look good.

Thanks! Love the fact that this camera has 1080p 60fps.
@@GlenReed Yer sir!
Glen thank you for showing how to unlock the record time limit on the Panasonic G7. I shall try this with the Panasonic S5 when I eventually purchase it and when it's in the 4K 10 bit mode hopefully it will work.
How did you find out how to unlock the 30 minute recording time limit on the Panasonic G7.
The S5 is an awesome camera! I don’t remember off hand how I found the record limit unlock since it’s been a few years now, I think I may have found some leaked info on a website somewhere (I’m totally not smart enough to figure it out on my own 😊). It will likely not work with the S5 since they are totally different cameras, but it’s worth the try. Thanks for watching!
Glen you never know. It might work then hey presto it will mean the Panasonic S5 is cheaper than the Panasonic S1 brand new and it can have unlimited recording in both 8 bit and 10 bit 4K.
Let me know if it works out for you.
@@GlenReed Glen I shall let you know if it does ok. You be safe and spirited and happy and focused ok. PEACE
Hi glen thanks for this tutorial, I did all of the things. A question about photostyle; It just simply isn't an available option on my G7, running firmware 2.2 and purchased in 2018. I'm late to the party and think that I missed something.
Your very welcome! The Cine D style is only available in the movie mode. Sometimes people mistakenly put the mode dial toward the power switch instead of the marking on the other side of the dial. This may solve your problem. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Just an FYI - if you do the unlimited unlock then my G7 was no longer recognized by Windows 10 and i couldn't do file downloads via usb cable. I did the reset and it worked via usb again, I like the unlock, but i need the usb downloads more . . . Otherwise, thanks for the video settings info!!
Thanks for the info! A few people have mentioned this. For me I use a external card reader which in my experience is faster to transfer the large files.
Hello dude. Great video but the record limit still is present. It switched to 30fps but record limit was still there?????
Check and make sure you have more storage on your SD card. The limit is only for 4k and will still be limited to the amount of storage you have remaining. Hope this helps.
Great video, do you have anything on editing after talking footage on the Lumix g7? What the best editing software for beginners ? I'm making an online floristry course so I need to brand it and be able to make it look professional thanks
I’m actually considering doing a editing/color grading video for the G7 and G85. Thanks for letting me know this is of interest to you. I personally use mainly Davinci Resolve Studio but I also use Final Cut Pro, in my opinion these are fantastic editing platforms. Davinci is a little more complex, but they do offer a free version and a free training course that covers everything the software has to offer. Final Cut is a bit simpler but is also a bit limited in comparison. Thanks for watching!
Would the settings work well if you were going to color grade it.
These settings work great for color grading. Using CineD will give you the most latitude in post production. Keep in mind 8 bit footage can only be pushed so far regardless of the settings. Thanks for watching!
Hey! Nice Video! But dosent works with my g7 (70). i follow your steps, but still 29:59. what can be?
Hi Glen, is there any tutorial about what type of SD card should I buy to shoot 4K with G7? There are a lot of SD types and classes and it`s hard to choose :)
Hey! I probably should do a tutorial on SD cards, that would be helpful for a lot of people. In the meantime this is what I use amzn.to/2KrX0Od
What camera & settings are you using to record yourself at your desk? This the look I want to achieve while recording indoors. Much appreciated... ROGAN
Hey thanks for the comment! Most of the time I’m using the Panasonic S1 with the Sigma 24-70 f2.8. My camera is usually at f2.8 ISO between 800-1250 SS 1/50 @24fps. Lately though I have been using a lot more light with my settings @ f4.0-5.6 ISO 640 (lowest for V-Log) SS 1/50 24fps. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching!
@Glen Reed do you happen to know if you can unlock the 4k recording limit on the G100?
Unfortunately I don’t know if it’s possible to unlock the G100.
What lens should I be using. I'm just shooting videos for CZcams etc. Shooting a podcast
I purchased the camera and it didn't come with a lens... again we just want to record our podcast
If you are only going for 1 lens I would go for something like this to cover a wide range of focal lengths amzn.to/3w5sP6X and it’s decent in lower light. You can also try a phone app called Artemis Pro to simulate what framing you’d need so you can find the proper focal length for your podcast.
Yes, one lens. I know absolutely nothing about cameras.... So it needs to be as simple as possible. Point and push record 😂 Does this lens zoom in and out? Sorry for my ignorance with cameras.
@shawnfield161 yes it does! It’s a great beginning lens. As you learn the you can look into getting prime lenses. Really even if you can find a used kit lens from the G85 it’s a good lens too.
@GlenReed thank you for the information
What are the best settings for livestreaming?
I am planning on sending the hdmi feed out into an ATEM mini pro for livestreaming, so there will be no post processing.
If you want more of a live feel I would just use 4K 30p Standard profile with a clean feed out of the HDMI. This would give you the sharpest looking image and the ATEM will handle the down sampling to 1080p.
I Purchase For Real Estate Cinematic Videography. I learn Lot From You. Any Recomended Lens From Your Side ?
Thank you for your lesson!
I have two questions:
1) In my Lumix G7 I can have maximum 50fps in FULL HD. How did you get 60fps in 4K? Is there a magic trick?
2) How Is the name of your video monitor?
Thank you very much.
You're very welcome! I think you misunderstood, in my region the camera can shoot in Full HD 60p not in 4K 60p. As for the monitor if you are referring to the camera monitor it's the Fotga DP500 A50 amzn.to/2LaBcqr If you are referring to my color grading monitor its a 32" LG 4K monitor amzn.to/2VKDxdr Hope this answers your questions. Thanks for watching!
@@GlenReed perfect! Thank you sooooo much!
Your very welcome!

Liked Bro....
Have a small smile in your face.. will add tons of pleasure seeing you....😀
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback and support 🙂
Thank you for the best guide. But for some reason 4K unlimited recording is not getting enable for me by using those multi key press. I'm on Firmware 2.2.
Why am I only having 2 options for photo settings
Hey! Thanks for watching! When you say “photo settings”, which settings are you referring to?
@@GlenReed I see the multiple options in the photo setting however when I go left to right to choose it only lets me choose std or the blk/wht option
That is usually based on the mode the camera is in. Try rotating the mode dial to a different photo mode or video mode, that should give you more options. Hope this helps 🙂
Hey Glen great video man, I have a couple of questions. One is how do you choose 100 iso with Lumix g7, I read in the manual that you have the option of extending iso, but that option my camera is grey so I can't choose it. there is something you need to do get that which I don't know now. My other question when you upload your footage to Davinci in what color science do you use in color managment for Lumix G7 when shooting in Cinelike D? There is only a Panasonic V Gamut/V-log there or choosing rec709 is better?
Thanks!
I believe the extended iso feature is only available in photo mode. But I don’t really use the extended features as it’s artificial and can cause other problems. Really it’s only good for lowering exposure when you don’t have and filter handy in my opinion.
As for Davinci Reaolve, just the default of Rec.709 is all you need. V Gamut/V-log are for cameras that use a log profile to increase dynamic range which the G7 does not. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
This is a great video, however, I did everything as instructed and my files are still coming out in separate 6 minute chunks even though the camera indicates I can record for 2+ hours. Is this normal?
Unfortunately yes, you can now record unlimited but the camera will always separate the video into smaller files. There is no loss in frames though so you simple place all the files in your editing timeline and it will play like one continuous file. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the encouraging comment! I’m working hard on this channel so that’s much appreciated 🙂
would it change anything if I just let it be without resetting it back to normal?
Nope! You can leave it unlocked as long as you want. I basically just gave instructions on how to reset it just in case people didn’t like the warning ⚠️ symbol. Thanks for watching!
So question what is the best settings to keep the camera focus on you without it autofocusing off me when I'm doing a video I'm having this issue it's not staying focused on me and more the background I have it on AF mode
Great question! Are you staying mainly in the same spot or are you moving around a lot?
Ok, so I checked out your channel (and subscribed 😉). I see that you are doing a lot of sit-down talking videos like I do. I would suggest to use manual focus and then once you're ready to record use the app to set focus on yourself and then it wont change focus on you. Hope this helps!
