🔴If you're looking to start using your Panasonic camera or really any other camera I just released this quick guide for beginners that will help you get started fast! 👉czcams.com/video/gic5cnLqzd0/video.html
I bought my g7 back in 2017, I love it so much, I learned photography with it and at the time I wanted to get into filmmaking (never really got into it in the end) and this was the perfect package for me. But now, I still love it, bought a couple more lenses, but since I'm more interested in photography and I have adult money, I'll be getting a camera with a higher resolution like the Sony a7 iv or the Sony a7r iv.
Great quality, amazing sound, visuals were clean, transitions were superior! This channel just became one of my favorites, thank you for sharing the information!
Are you looking to take advantage of the cinematic color profile of the gh4 as well as the 10bit color through hdmi? Or is there another reason? Those are really the only features that make the camera different from the g7 vs the gh4
i got a g7 a couple of years ago because I wasn't satisfied with the phone pictures during my holidays. I had the 14-140 lens which is EXTREMELY versatile and this year I got a sigma 30mm prime lens specifically for work related shots, video and a couple of portraits, why not. I used it A LOT, like I start to take my camera even for a stroll through the woods maybe I get a nice shot, is all used up, lots of scratches and dents but the photos are as sharp as ever. The thing is that you really need to get to know your camera, all the functions, all the settings and how to properly use it before you look for something more expensive. I'm not looking for a replacement anytime soon. In fact if the photos will look as good as they look at the moment, I might use it a lifetime.
This was my first cam. I had it for 3 years. Then I bought a GH5 in 2019 and had that for 4 years. Very recently I finally upgraded to the S5 and it’s FF goodness. I love Panasonic.
I am currently looking at getting the G7 and have a lot of canon lenses and canon dslrs so the adapter looks great. I think most people make the transition from Canon dslrs to something like a Lumix G7 so I wouldn't bother going the other way as it would be a big step back. Great video - thanks
thank you for watching! Great point! You have companies like metabones or the budget Viltrox focal reducer I use that makes any MFT camera a great option if you have a selection of EF lenses.
The G7 is still a great camera, I have 2 of them. I did upgrade to a G95 which has IBIS, but I still find uses for this awesome camera. I also have and use EM10Mii which has IBIS but no 4K video, but I don't shoot 4k.
It’s definitely a great camera to start off as an amateur content creator and I am keeping my eyes on the LUMIX G7 so I can add it with my Apple and Elgato accessories I have right now.
welp I'm convinced. I gotta get this thing. I'm a videographer and was looking for a 4k camera, obviously wish it had image stabilization but I am on a budget and tend to have steady hands anyway. Awesome video man! subbed!
Yet another awesome video 👍🏻 I own two G7, two GH5 & One GH5 II. I’d like to add a GH5S and if only Panasonic had an adapter for their new L-mount camera system I would buy the new upcoming S5 II X. I appreciate you & your videos. Cheers 👍🏻
Yes! This is a great point! Panasonic to this day still makes this camera brand new as well but there are a ton of used options available if your looking for a deal!
Was this filmed on the G7? Great lighting, great focus, great video quality. How did you set the focus? Manually I presume? I have the G7 too and after owning it several years am finally learning to use it. So more G7 content please (even in 2022!). Also, I was your 356th subscriber. Keep it up.
This actually wasn't because I couldn't film with the camera while I was holding the camera🤣. The next video I'll be posting this week will be with my G7! I''ll be sure to include how to set focus in my upcoming videos about the camera. Thanks for the support.👍
I agree. I got 2 more lenses for it back around the time I 1st bought it. The amazon prices for these are fckn stupid now and dont make sense but, yea it's a great camera. Just shot a music video on my CZcams channel with it.
Great vid. I'm actually buying this exact camera for Christmas too do motorcycle travel vlogs and vacation videos. I'm an amateur/beginner and this may be the ticket. Just wish it had image stabilization
Great video Seez! I have an observation. Canon released a software called Canon EOS Webcam Beta about 2.5 years ago, that allows you to use Canon EOS cameras as old as the 70D, to livestream through the USB 2/3 port. This bypasses any expensive elgato capture card. Yes HDMI is a clean out. You can also hack the G7 for endless 4k internally too.
Yea I’ve heard of that as well! Same with Panasonic and Sony. The quality isn’t the same or as clean as HDMI. I mentioned this in my live stream video too! It’s a free, quick and dirty way to get started !
This camera is available for $500 brand new here in my country, so literally still the best camera in that price point (if u don't want used cams ofc) I got one for myself around 2 years ago, and it served me well so far. I keep switching it as my main cam, as well as my streaming cam. I'm thinking of upgrading to a Sony Alpha later this year, and then this G7 would permanently become my stream cam after that. If somebody asks me is the G7 still valid in 2022, I'd say yes, it's totally still valid. Not the best cam out there but it's great enough for beginners
Thank you very much. But these are my questions on lumix G7 1. Can I record internally at the same time streaming from it hdmi output while on battery power? 2. Can I record internally at the same time streaming from it hdmi output while using a dummy battery connected to AC power for hours shooting? 3. Will the zoom information appear on the hdmi output screen when I zoom in and out on the kit lense while streaming from it hdmi output even when clean hdmi Is turned on ? 4. What is the zoom level in terms of "X" as they are indicated on camcorders like "25x" when using the kit lense that comes with the lumix G7? I ask this because I will be shooting from a distance when doing live stream. 5. Will the lumix G7 overheat or shut down under outdoor live streaming operation under the sun when using dummy battery AC power? 6. Which lense will be good to use with lumix G7 when shooting from a distance where zooming is essential? 7. Can I disable automatic sensor cleansing while doing a live streaming? 8. Can I record internally to an mp4 format? 9. Does it have video record time limit when using dummy battery AC power for long hour shooting? 10. What's the big difference between the GH and the G series of the lumix
No problem! I will be doing a video on OBS and setting it up more in depth ! That deserves a whole video especially with the new update that just came out! Let me know if you have any questions 👏
up against my bmpcc4k, my G7 beats it at medium room light light situations. the blackmagic comes outs grainy (will need, Davinici to try to fix it), but the G7 comes out clean and finish. both set at ISO 1600, 4.0 f
At the end of the day " it's the indian not the arrow " you can do more things with this bad boy G7 than even a new cam, all this companies care about is the money, so they will always try to makes us feel that we have an old out of date camera.
It’s a great affordable option! I was hoping that was clear in the video! I have a few videos coming out soon that I’m in the middle of writing that will break down why it’s good for video and photo for the price and class of cameras that it is.
Thanks for the recording. Very much on point. I recently purchased a G7 and was attracted to the price given the 4K. I am going to feed the signal into an ATEM Mini Extreme. Anything special I should watch out for? Studio environment, mostly educational content so pretty easy to control the lighting. [I need to sort out the audio setup as the studio is a bit noisy.] I have some focus and lens questions. I see you have another recording so I will jump there. Keep up the good work-💥
When this camera came out back in 2016 it was a very commonly used camera for vloging! I would however say that if you want built in image stabilization I would recommend getting the G85 or the G95 to the G100. As well as pair it with a lumix lens that has image stabilization to have some really smooth footage !
@@SeezSantos okay so unfortunately I ordered it before I remembered I posted this comment😂 so would still recommend getting the lumix lens to kind of help with that stability?
@@twowaycustomz the G7 is more budget friendly! Still a great camera, same sensor as those other ones mentioned. For vloging I would recommend a zoom lens. The 12-35 f2.8 would be my choice. The “POWER O.I.S” or “MEGA O.I.S” lenes help tremendously with stabilization.
The image app only allows the transfer of images. From my understanding of the G7 and other cameras out there like Sony the only way is to plug in your SD card from the camera into your computer.
Hello Santos.. hope you are doing absolutely great. Need to know your thoughts. Is Panasonic Lumix G85 still worthy ? Would you recommend G85 for Streetphotography ? Professionally, I'm a Pharmacologist .
I have a G7 I am still learning on. I want to use an external monitor but I can not figure out how to see what I'm recording while recording. The external monitor screen goes black once I start recording. Do you know of any setting to change to correct this? I have a feelgood f6 monitor with HDMI .connection. Thanks
This is one of the the G7’s limitations! You can only record through hdmi if you recording to an external recorder. I believe only the G85/G95,GH4,H5 and GH6 can recording internally while viewing through a field monitor.
@@SeezSantos Well dang. The point of having the monitor is so I can see what I'm recording while recording. The display on the G7 is not large enough for me to see it clearly outdoors where I do most of my filming. This just rendered the G7 virtually useless for me. I suppose I'll have to get a GH5 ( for the internal stabilization) as most of my filming is also hand held. unless you can suggest a different camera. I'm new to this and we try to shoot travel videos. Thanks for the input
This is a loaded question! Since there are so many cameras that are worthy to be called "cinema" cameras. There is definitely no one size fits all answer to this question. Like do you need to shoot in 10-bit or 16-bit video? What codec do you need to shoot on for color grading and giving it the cinematic look you're going for in your project? What frame rates are you looking to capture high-quality video? What are you willing to sacrifice in the means of usability like autofocus and low light performance. And last but not least what is your budget? That will be the end all be all to answer the rest of the questions you need to know!
@@SeezSantos Thank you..This is very informative! For you, which one would you rather purchase for video creation, This Panasonic lumix g7 or the Sony zve10?
If we are talking BRAND NEW out of the box apples-to-apples comparison the ZVE10 is the better option than the G7. Just keep in mind that both cameras are 8BIT so if you were looking for something more "cinematic" I would look into 10BIT capable cameras. The ZVE10 is very similar to the a6000 series of cameras. But If you're looking for a camera that shoots a higher FPS the ZVE10 shoots 120FPS. The only downside I'd say is the cost of SONY lenses. Also, no IBIS on both options so if you were looking for image stabilization you're out of luck there.
Almost a year after the video was shot, the G7 sells for $500 (B&H) and the G95 sells for $700 (B&H). Okay, $500 is a real deal, but for only $200 more I got the G95 with the 12mm - 60mm lens. The G95 has the in body image stabilization.
IF the G95 wasn't just $200 more, I might have gotten the G7. However, for the $200 more I got so many more features, like in body image stabilization.
Hello thanks for the information on this video I am considering a Camera for myself I am looking for one under 650 because currently I am a photographer in training I will consider this camera just wondering if I need an adapter to extend from 14-42 mm to 150 mm
Thanks for the comment! in regards to the adapter you're talking about do you mean you have a 150mm lens or that you want to turn a 14-42mm to a 150mm?
@@figurequack4442 well I know that some photographers will use teleconverters with their lenses to increase the focal range but if they do have their downsides with using them like reducing the F stop. Also, the availability of these converters for your specific lens might not exist.
I’d say it’s pretty well balanced but I’d give the slight edge to using it for photography just because the G7 doesn’t have that stabilization that Seez was talking about like other cameras do. But with the help of a gimbal or stabilizer it definitely gets the job done when filming!
What if I just want something to go out on a hike (which is something I wanted to start doing especially since I’m recently going through a breakup) sure the video options are nice but I’m honestly more interested in just capturing stellar photos
The G7 does pretty well for photography but if you are really looking to take some great photos you're going to want to look at cameras that have a larger sensor. Depending on your budget you can find some great used full-frame cameras like the Canon 6D Mark 1 or 2, or a Sont A7ii, The ability to capture more light data from larger sensors as is what makes most modern full-frame cameras better at photography. But most of these cameras are caped to 1080p 30fps for video and are not super video-focused but it's there if you need it.
I know this question is sort of off topic, but when you mentioned using it for church, I knew I had to ask, since that’s going to be one of my purposes with the camera. 1. Is the lease that it comes with good enough for church and podcast streaming? I’ll be using it for both. 2. I’m looking at external mics. So far, I’m stuck between the Rode VideoMic Go and the Rode VideoMic Pro. Do you have any recommendations? So far, I’ve been shooting church videos on my iPhone. I’ve not started video podcasts yet. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in Advance & Blessings!
Hey! the kit lens depending on which one you get is great for live streaming. Just be aware that they are not the fastest lenses but they can get the job done. As for shotgun mics like the ones you mention I've owned an older version of the Video Mic go and it broke after a few months. I've heard good things about the build quality as well as the features of the Rode VideoMic Pro. Shotgun mics like these are good for close-up conversations or if you planning to use It with a boom mic stand as I do in my setup. But if your looking to shoot a podcast with it I would recommend getting separate microphones for each person and using a shotgun mic for scratch audio or backup audio in case something were to happen during recording. Let me know if you have any more questions! I completely missed this question the other day when you posted it!
@@SeezSantos Thank you so much! Your advice is very helpful! I’m curious you have a recommendation on church setting. Like if I were to shoot a particular song. Their sound wouldn’t be running through me, so I’d need an external mic. What would you think about a rode video mic pro for this?
@@apostolicclips of course any time! so in the case you are talking about above, you wouldn't need to use a shotgun mic at all since it sounds like you will be running it to some sort of video/audio capture system that will be getting the high quality and your video through HDMI that will sync and stream. So their job would be to make sure that the audio and video are synced correctly. The shotgun mic can be used for scratch audio or backup audio in the case that something fails. If your only source to capture audio is through the shotgun mic the audio it's going to pick up is going to sound very faint and far away. Does that make sense to you?
At 6:18, you say people have used it for 24 hour livestreams. As far as I know, doesn't it shut off or stop recording after 30 minutes and require manual restarting? Hope I'm wrong but that 24 hour livestreaming feature sounds handy!
yes if you are recording internally it will stop recording after 29 mins (unless you unlock the camera) However in a live stream setup where you're using an external device like a Cam Link 4K or an ATEM Mini Pro you can leave your camera on (while not recording internally) for as long as you need to. You will obviously need some external power to keep your camera from dying. I covered everything you need to do this on another video on my channel czcams.com/video/dDi6vTUbxcY/video.html
Great video and information but I am still wary of the used version of the same camera. There is something which is called as hours of footage or shots recorded or something like that will make it worth buying. Just wanted to know your view on this.
With modern mirrorless cameras like the G7 that use a electronic shutter a high shutter count is something to look out for if your shooting photos. As for video you just need to make sure that there are now dead pixels within the sensor. You only ever incounter an issue like that if the camera was exposed to lasers or direct sunlight for a long period of time. Thank you for bringing this up I’m going to cover this on my next videos 🙌🏽
@@SeezSantos Oh 😯 well didn't think it like that. Thank you for explaining it in detail. I will definitely keep this in mind while buying one for myself. Please keep making videos like these , they are really helpful 💯.
The sigma lens I mentioned is great for all sorts of uses! it has a good focal range for both video and photography! Just remember that when you use a non-native lens that you can't rely on the autofocus system as before. I touched on this on a new video on my channel! czcams.com/video/xB5s1Hqm9Xo/video.html
If I can get my hands on the 200D I’d love to test it head to head with the G7! But off the bat the 200D doesn’t have the ability to shoot in 4K! I’ve seen some people create some cinematic shorts and content with the 200D !
Love all the details in this video! I'm thinking about buying the G7 - but have one question... If I were to set this camera up on a tripod, click record - would it record a wedding ceremony? Is sound and auto-focus strong enough on it's own? (my wedding ceremony hahaa. So I would not be able to monitor the camera) Would love to hear what you think, thank you!
Thank you for watching! and great question! lens selection will be key for making sure that the auto focus on this camera will work accordingly! how far will the camera be? I've had good success with my non Lumix lens holding focus at a distance and the Lumix lens do really well as long as you have the correct focus mode selected!
I own it. Honestly it depends. For video, almost always "NO". Just get an galaxy S21 or S22 with phone lenses. G7 has no stabilization, no hdmi output while recording and its auto is way over exposed. So you have to buy a lense with stabilization (min $300) or a gimbal (used $250). Oh and the autofocus -- its shit. No firmware updates to fix it. Micro 4/3rds is great but save up and get a black magic or the gh5. It is awesome for pics tho! And you literally adapt any lense to it such as c mount, fd mount, ef mount etc.
I completely understand where your coming from. I have several other pieces of content that go over using what you have like smart phones and what not to create content. At the end of the day it’s up to you to create things with what you have! The G7 is still to this day great for video. You just need to understand it’s limitations. Like using auto settings. I would avoid that at all cost with any camera? Even on an iPhone you can get better image quality by selecting the proper exposure using an app like filmic pro than the standard camera app. The cameras available on most new phones also have there own limitations as well. That can be a whole topic of discussion for another video but that’s still no excuse to not use what you have to create content!
Great video. Thanks.👌 I have a G7 and I have a question: When I'm filming for CZcams (mostly film and Blu-ray reviews), whenever I hold something up to camera and then put it down there are distinct colour changes to the image. What should I be doing to stop this?🤔 Cheers, Simon.🙂
if your shooting handheld alot you can get away with OIS lenses to avoid the micro jitters but IBIS is great! the GH5 is a great camera and alot of them are coming up on this used market right now due to the new GH6 coming out!
Hola! Tengo el lente que viene con la camera 14-140. Pero el lente que yo uso es el Sigma EF 17-50. Tengo otro video que da mas información. Why You Need a Speed Booster For Your Lumix G7 czcams.com/video/xB5s1Hqm9Xo/video.html
Idk if you still see these questions! But, im looking to buy one as a gift. I have a choice from a used g85 for $350, or a new g7 for 350. What do you think is the better choice? Mainly for recording videos
I would go for a used G85 or if you can afford the G95 used that would be an even better option. If your main focus is on video features like In-body image stabilization. That's one of many things the G7 lacks. amzn.to/3BEao9u
you also have unlimited recording time with the G85 and G95 vs the G7. Even though I don't ever have a need to go over the 29 min limit on the G7 for some its for scenarios like long interviews
Yes! You will need an adapter though to take advantage of the glass! Have a look at this video I made that tells you everything you need to know to make it work! czcams.com/video/xB5s1Hqm9Xo/video.html
@@SeezSantos I need to use it for real estate shoot but buying a metabone speed booster seems counter intuitive because it costs almost as much as a new Olympus wide angle lens
The metabones is the pricer option but if your looking for a budget friendly speed booster viltrox is great. There are a few other brands as well that are less expensive as well. Remember If you want to go with a simple adapter like the MC-11( which btw that specific one is for Sony E mount) that’s not a speed booster and your sigma 10-20 it’s going to crop in. So your 10-20 is going to look like a 20-40mm f7. That’s one of the reasons you should get a speed booster your not only going to only crop in but also lose light from the lens. I hope this helps
@@SeezSantos thank you so much for taking time to answer my questions. How about sigma MC 21, it should be a good choice? But on the list of supported lens, my wide angle is no on it. How funny that is when the same brand products don't support each other ? I cannot get viltrox in my country.
I have tried to use the G7 for indoor video on the 4k setting. The autofocus was very slow and the result was a lot of blurry sections of the video. Have you had this problem and do you know any way around it? thanks.
Hey is this McLovin I did not know he did CZcams videos that’s cool good video. I live in Garden Grove California If you’re ever in the area I would like to do a video with you maybe we can do a re-creation of super bad I could be Jonah Hill since I’m kind of fat
Is your primary focus photography or video? Or is it both 50/50 Also what’s your budget! The G95 is a great Camera! You have IBIS and can shoot 4K and VLog ! So it’s good for getting into color grading your footage.
@@SeezSantos right now I would say 50/50 but maybe in the future videography, I’m new to it but I know for sure I wanna make something out of it the better I get at it, for my budget I would say the most $2000.
I have a budget of 500 us dollars... looking to upgrade from smart phone camera for travel photography... seems a entry mirrorless would be apt. What do you suggest? In my country both lumix g7 and Fuji xa7 fits my budget.
@@minicart it's going to be really hard to find a good camera with a lens as well for 500, you can get a Canon 6D mark 1 for 300-500 dollars (body only) and a 50mm for 50-150 (these are eBay prices btw)
I use a Smartphone for my youtube videos. I have been wanted to "upgrade" to a real camera, but I don't know if it will really be an upgrade for my video style.
Cool channel by the way! Such a unique niche! "upgrading" will ultimately depend on your workflow. With overhead videos like yours I can see why shooting with a smart phone is simple and effective for your style of videos. Most people won't be able tell the difference unless you start looking into color grading and maybe changing your lighting and you need more dynamic range. I would have never guesses that your videos were shot on your phone!
@@SeezSantos thank you! And thank you for making and sharing these videos! I’m just getting started, and these are very helpful. I am, of course, subscribed with notifications turned on, and thumbs up!
Good pm! Is there any way lumix g7 to solve the problem when set-up to desview monitor p5ii when i hit the record button na external monitor turns black and it appear a message "Now Recording Video" Do you have the solutions or settings for this? Thanks a lot
I have the exact one linked in the description. It’s the Zhiyun Crane 2 with follow focus. It is a little older but it does have a lot of features that you need out of a gimbal. It can vary some pretty heavy cameras !
Used G7 on and off since release. I bought some month ago a cabel so i can connect a powerbank all my batterys where almost dead. But in low light g7 sucks
especially if your suing a lens with a F Stop of 3.5 or higher. I made a whole video on that and how to remove the noise that is associated with low light footage shot on the G7 👉czcams.com/video/5qWkMR4j1HU/video.html
Yea those cages are no longer made! I was looking to get one as well for my sets up! There is also the Versa rig by small rig that can work with the g7 but it looks like it’s no longer made either. Nice rig is another brand of cages but it looks like they don’t make there cage anymore 😭 Your best bet is looking at the used market for any cage for the g7!
the one cool thing about your phone is it's more incognito! But the 13 pro can be a great secondary camera if you use an app called filmic pro, you can adjust all the settings to get high-quality video. i have a new video on my channel that breaks down those settings czcams.com/video/gic5cnLqzd0/video.html
If you don't have a need for IBIS (in body stabilization) I would say this is perfect for those on a budget like vlogs and photography. It's an entry level camera but packs a punch with photography.
This is a tough comparison! But they both use the same sensor and can shoot 4k vidoe but you don’t have any way of connecting an external microphone to the GX85. My the details the gx85 is more photography focused with the ability to shoot video. You also don’t get the CINE color profiles on the GX85. Once cool thing you get to what the GX85 is IBIS so you can shoot some smooth footage !
@@SeezSantos thanks for responding I had the GX85 and sold it and I do regret selling it and now I want to get back into it again ... Looking at the G95 it has the IBIS and is reasonable priced... But I do wish I had kept the GX85... Thanks 👍
@@SeezSantos my son has a soccer tournament in Disney and I need something to record from the stands. Will this be good enough or do you suggest something else in the same price range as this?
@@danielp6878 sounds like you need something with good zoom range then? Hand held Camcorders do a better job at recording long distances while maintaining good focus and image stabilization.
I haven’t had a lot of recent experience with handheld camcorders but for the most part for your case you want to have to have the ability to zoom in quite a bit as well as good image stabilization. Also having 4K resolution can drive the price up on these as well.
It only works with us models. There is a video I’ll make to show case how to do it! If you look up unlimited recording hack g7 it comes right up on CZcams
The G7 doesn’t have LOG? Cine D isn’t log. Even so let’s say you have access to vLog L like in the G95/G100 they are 8 bit cameras but you do however get more dynamic range when you use VLog L vs using the standard color profile. czcams.com/video/ffoJzHXJhHI/video.html
@@SeezSantos but in exchange you lose skin tones and midtones, the literal focal point of every video. oh and the extra range is a stop, maybe. Better off getting it right in standard/auto modes, or control the lighting. Saving yourself a lot of time and color detail that's already compromised. 4:2:0 is 25% of the original color. Research anything that isn't explicitly explained. Edit: edited for tone.
This is just one article and it also covers a different camera systems but based on this one persons finding you are right. Skin tones are effected quite a bit. If I had access to a G95 with VLog L I’d totally test this out www.cined.com/panasonic-gh5-lab-test/

@@SeezSantos Your hardworking attitude makes you the best sir.
Keep growing day by day
Thanks for replying.
This was my first cam. I had it for 3 years. Then I bought a GH5 in 2019 and had that for 4 years. Very recently I finally upgraded to the S5 and it’s FF goodness. I love Panasonic.
Panasonic Lumix is underrated.
I am currently looking at getting the G7 and have a lot of canon lenses and canon dslrs so the adapter looks great. I think most people make the transition from Canon dslrs to something like a Lumix G7 so I wouldn't bother going the other way as it would be a big step back. Great video - thanks
thank you for watching! Great point! You have companies like metabones or the budget Viltrox focal reducer I use that makes any MFT camera a great option if you have a selection of EF lenses.
Thank you . Im new to cameras . I finally know what the adapter actually does
the speedbooster right?
if you are new to cameras my latest video will help you even further! czcams.com/video/gic5cnLqzd0/video.html
awesome, still using the G7 too!
Still a great camera to this day!
The G7 is still a great camera, I have 2 of them. I did upgrade to a G95 which has IBIS, but I still find uses for this awesome camera. I also have and use EM10Mii which has IBIS but no 4K video, but I don't shoot 4k.
It is a great camera! Glad you still have use cases for it!
It’s definitely a great camera to start off as an amateur content creator and I am keeping my eyes on the LUMIX G7 so I can add it with my Apple and Elgato accessories I have right now.
Let me know how I can help you with anything related to setting it up!
@@SeezSantos Thank you! I will come to you for some advice in case I have some trouble with the G7 once I get it.
welp I'm convinced. I gotta get this thing. I'm a videographer and was looking for a 4k camera, obviously wish it had image stabilization but I am on a budget and tend to have steady hands anyway. Awesome video man! subbed!
🙌🏽
Yet another awesome video 👍🏻 I own two G7, two GH5 & One GH5 II. I’d like to add a GH5S and if only Panasonic had an adapter for their new L-mount camera system I would buy the new upcoming S5 II X.
I appreciate you & your videos. Cheers 👍🏻
You should remake this video going into 2023
It is more relevant than ever especially with a lack of availability on newer cameras for msrp
Yes! This is a great point! Panasonic to this day still makes this camera brand new as well but there are a ton of used options available if your looking for a deal!
@@SeezSantos hoping to get one soon to start up a new channel! great video bro
Was this filmed on the G7? Great lighting, great focus, great video quality. How did you set the focus? Manually I presume? I have the G7 too and after owning it several years am finally learning to use it. So more G7 content please (even in 2022!). Also, I was your 356th subscriber. Keep it up.
This actually wasn't because I couldn't film with the camera while I was holding the camera🤣. The next video I'll be posting this week will be with my G7! I''ll be sure to include how to set focus in my upcoming videos about the camera. Thanks for the support.👍
I agree. I got 2 more lenses for it back around the time I 1st bought it. The amazon prices for these are fckn stupid now and dont make sense but, yea it's a great camera. Just shot a music video on my CZcams channel with it.
They used market and lack of new camera models has made the prices of these go up! I'm gonna have to check your video out!
Great vid. I'm actually buying this exact camera for Christmas too do motorcycle travel vlogs and vacation videos. I'm an amateur/beginner and this may be the ticket. Just wish it had image stabilization
For most use cases the stairs Images stabilization in lens is ok but yea 6 acid is great like that found on the g85 or the g95!
Great video Seez! I have an observation. Canon released a software called Canon EOS Webcam Beta about 2.5 years ago, that allows you to use Canon EOS cameras as old as the 70D, to livestream through the USB 2/3 port. This bypasses any expensive elgato capture card. Yes HDMI is a clean out. You can also hack the G7 for endless 4k internally too.
Yea I’ve heard of that as well! Same with Panasonic and Sony. The quality isn’t the same or as clean as HDMI. I mentioned this in my live stream video too! It’s a free, quick and dirty way to get started !
This camera is available for $500 brand new here in my country, so literally still the best camera in that price point (if u don't want used cams ofc)
I got one for myself around 2 years ago, and it served me well so far. I keep switching it as my main cam, as well as my streaming cam.
I'm thinking of upgrading to a Sony Alpha later this year, and then this G7 would permanently become my stream cam after that.
If somebody asks me is the G7 still valid in 2022, I'd say yes, it's totally still valid. Not the best cam out there but it's great enough for beginners
Thank you very much.
But these are my questions on lumix G7
1. Can I record internally at the same time streaming from it hdmi output while on battery power?
2. Can I record internally at the same time streaming from it hdmi output while using a dummy battery connected to AC power for hours shooting?
3. Will the zoom information appear on the hdmi output screen when I zoom in and out on the kit lense while streaming from it hdmi output even when clean hdmi Is turned on ?
4. What is the zoom level in terms of "X" as they are indicated on camcorders like "25x" when using the kit lense that comes with the lumix G7? I ask this because I will be shooting from a distance when doing live stream.
5. Will the lumix G7 overheat or shut down under outdoor live streaming operation under the sun when using dummy battery AC power?
6. Which lense will be good to use with lumix G7 when shooting from a distance where zooming is essential?
7. Can I disable automatic sensor cleansing while doing a live streaming?
8. Can I record internally to an mp4 format?
9. Does it have video record time limit when using dummy battery AC power for long hour shooting?
10. What's the big difference between the GH and the G series of the lumix

@@SeezSantos Wow... This does the job.. Thank you 😊
No problem! I will be doing a video on OBS and setting it up more in depth ! That deserves a whole video especially with the new update that just came out! Let me know if you have any questions 👏
@@SeezSantos Sure.. Very much Appreciative 👏👏👏
up against my bmpcc4k, my G7 beats it at medium room light light situations. the blackmagic comes outs grainy (will need, Davinici to try to fix it), but the G7 comes out clean and finish. both set at ISO 1600, 4.0 f
You get so much more to work with BRAW though!
At the end of the day " it's the indian not the arrow " you can do more things with this bad boy G7 than even a new cam, all this companies care about is the money, so they will always try to makes us feel that we have an old out of date camera.
That’s a great way to look at it!
@@SeezSantos great video tho
Thank you Ace! Great info
About to buy mine today😅from nikon to lumix
Nice! Let me know if you have any questions!
I’m getting the G7 I’ve seen so many mixed reviews I’m kinda worried I just wanted an affordable camera with great video
It’s a great affordable option! I was hoping that was clear in the video! I have a few videos coming out soon that I’m in the middle of writing that will break down why it’s good for video and photo for the price and class of cameras that it is.

Thank you for watching! If you have any questions feel free to comment them here !
Thanks for the recording. Very much on point. I recently purchased a G7 and was attracted to the price given the 4K. I am going to feed the signal into an ATEM Mini Extreme. Anything special I should watch out for? Studio environment, mostly educational content so pretty easy to control the lighting.
[I need to sort out the audio setup as the studio is a bit noisy.]
I have some focus and lens questions. I see you have another recording so I will jump there. Keep up the good work-💥
I’m in the idle of filming a video on the different focus modes and at focus modes! I hope I can answer your question on this next video !
@@SeezSantos Keep me posted. Focus is something I need to master sometime soon.

Thoughts of vlogging with this camera? I’m looking to buy one in the next few days but my content will be centered around vlogs/day in the life
When this camera came out back in 2016 it was a very commonly used camera for vloging! I would however say that if you want built in image stabilization I would recommend getting the G85 or the G95 to the G100. As well as pair it with a lumix lens that has image stabilization to have some really smooth footage !
@@SeezSantos okay so unfortunately I ordered it before I remembered I posted this comment😂 so would still recommend getting the lumix lens to kind of help with that stability?
@@twowaycustomz the G7 is more budget friendly! Still a great camera, same sensor as those other ones mentioned. For vloging I would recommend a zoom lens. The 12-35 f2.8 would be my choice. The “POWER O.I.S” or “MEGA O.I.S” lenes help tremendously with stabilization.
How can I transfer videos from my g7 into my iPhone the image app is not working. Please help
The image app only allows the transfer of images. From my understanding of the G7 and other cameras out there like Sony the only way is to plug in your SD card from the camera into your computer.
@@SeezSantos thank you but I have finally figured how to using the app
@@justnatalie7074 it’s been a good while since I’ve used the image app so if there is a way how cool that you found it !
Hello Santos.. hope you are doing absolutely great. Need to know your thoughts. Is Panasonic Lumix G85 still worthy ? Would you recommend G85 for Streetphotography ? Professionally, I'm a Pharmacologist .
the G85 it is good for video and photo. But if your looking for a camera that excels better at the price for only photography there are better options
Nice
Love this little camera. Now wouldn't it be great if the G9 ever dropped to that price point!
That would be great! 😭 the S5 would me my go to before the G9 but if I ever came across a used G9 for a low price I’d go for it!
@@SeezSantos Dual SD card slots, better battery life on the G9.
3:45 bro did not just ASMR’d the shit outta lenses
😂 when I was editing this video I kinda enjoyed the sounds too 😅
I have a G7 I am still learning on. I want to use an external monitor but I can not figure out how to see what I'm recording while recording. The external monitor screen goes black once I start recording. Do you know of any setting to change to correct this? I have a feelgood f6 monitor with HDMI .connection. Thanks
This is one of the the G7’s limitations! You can only record through hdmi if you recording to an external recorder. I believe only the G85/G95,GH4,H5 and GH6 can recording internally while viewing through a field monitor.
@@SeezSantos Well dang. The point of having the monitor is so I can see what I'm recording while recording. The display on the G7 is not large enough for me to see it clearly outdoors where I do most of my filming. This just rendered the G7 virtually useless for me. I suppose I'll have to get a GH5 ( for the internal stabilization) as most of my filming is also hand held. unless you can suggest a different camera. I'm new to this and we try to shoot travel videos. Thanks for the input
Other than this, what are some other good cameras would u recommend for beginner cinematic filmmakers/video creator?? Thanks
This is a loaded question! Since there are so many cameras that are worthy to be called "cinema" cameras. There is definitely no one size fits all answer to this question. Like do you need to shoot in 10-bit or 16-bit video? What codec do you need to shoot on for color grading and giving it the cinematic look you're going for in your project? What frame rates are you looking to capture high-quality video? What are you willing to sacrifice in the means of usability like autofocus and low light performance. And last but not least what is your budget? That will be the end all be all to answer the rest of the questions you need to know!
@@SeezSantos Thank you..This is very informative! For you, which one would you rather purchase for video creation, This Panasonic lumix g7 or the Sony zve10?
If we are talking BRAND NEW out of the box apples-to-apples comparison the ZVE10 is the better option than the G7. Just keep in mind that both cameras are 8BIT so if you were looking for something more "cinematic" I would look into 10BIT capable cameras.
The ZVE10 is very similar to the a6000 series of cameras. But If you're looking for a camera that shoots a higher FPS the ZVE10 shoots 120FPS. The only downside I'd say is the cost of SONY lenses. Also, no IBIS on both options so if you were looking for image stabilization you're out of luck there.
If I can get my hands on a ZVE10 I'd make a whole video comparing these too just for you!
@@SeezSantos THANKSSS MAN !!! U've been helpful
Thanks for this video, lumix g7 user here
hey!! thanks for watching!
I love seeing mclovin doing informative videos. Keep it up bro!
😂 thanks I’ll keep them coming !
i was looking through comments to confirm that it wasn’t just me 🤣. now i will watch the rest of the video in peace.
Almost a year after the video was shot, the G7 sells for $500 (B&H) and the G95 sells for $700 (B&H). Okay, $500 is a real deal, but for only $200 more I got the G95 with the 12mm - 60mm lens. The G95 has the in body image stabilization.
IF the G95 wasn't just $200 more, I might have gotten the G7. However, for the $200 more I got so many more features, like in body image stabilization.
Hello thanks for the information on this video I am considering a Camera for myself I am looking for one under 650 because currently I am a photographer in training I will consider this camera just wondering if I need an adapter to extend from 14-42 mm to 150 mm
Thanks for the comment! in regards to the adapter you're talking about do you mean you have a 150mm lens or that you want to turn a 14-42mm to a 150mm?
@@SeezSantos yes
just a bit higher it can be 140
@@figurequack4442 well I know that some photographers will use teleconverters with their lenses to increase the focal range but if they do have their downsides with using them like reducing the F stop. Also, the availability of these converters for your specific lens might not exist.
Is the G7 good for Photography and Videography? Is it based more on one side rather than the other? Or is it fairly balanced.
I’m in the middle of creating this video! Thank you for this! 🙌🏽
In my opinion, its great for both! Ive seen amazing pictures and videos taken on the G7.
7
I’d say it’s pretty well balanced but I’d give the slight edge to using it for photography just because the G7 doesn’t have that stabilization that Seez was talking about like other cameras do. But with the help of a gimbal or stabilizer it definitely gets the job done when filming!
What if I just want something to go out on a hike (which is something I wanted to start doing especially since I’m recently going through a breakup) sure the video options are nice but I’m honestly more interested in just capturing stellar photos
The G7 does pretty well for photography but if you are really looking to take some great photos you're going to want to look at cameras that have a larger sensor. Depending on your budget you can find some great used full-frame cameras like the Canon 6D Mark 1 or 2, or a Sont A7ii,
The ability to capture more light data from larger sensors as is what makes most modern full-frame cameras better at photography. But most of these cameras are caped to 1080p 30fps for video and are not super video-focused but it's there if you need it.
@@SeezSantosawesome thank you!
I know this question is sort of off topic, but when you mentioned using it for church, I knew I had to ask, since that’s going to be one of my purposes with the camera.
1. Is the lease that it comes with good enough for church and podcast streaming? I’ll be using it for both.
2. I’m looking at external mics. So far, I’m stuck between the Rode VideoMic Go and the Rode VideoMic Pro. Do you have any recommendations?
So far, I’ve been shooting church videos on my iPhone. I’ve not started video podcasts yet. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in Advance & Blessings!
Hey! the kit lens depending on which one you get is great for live streaming. Just be aware that they are not the fastest lenses but they can get the job done.
As for shotgun mics like the ones you mention I've owned an older version of the Video Mic go and it broke after a few months.
I've heard good things about the build quality as well as the features of the Rode VideoMic Pro. Shotgun mics like these are good for close-up conversations or if you planning to use It with a boom mic stand as I do in my setup. But if your looking to shoot a podcast with it I would recommend getting separate microphones for each person and using a shotgun mic for scratch audio or backup audio in case something were to happen during recording.
Let me know if you have any more questions! I completely missed this question the other day when you posted it!
@@SeezSantos Thank you so much! Your advice is very helpful! I’m curious you have a recommendation on church setting. Like if I were to shoot a particular song. Their sound wouldn’t be running through me, so I’d need an external mic. What would you think about a rode video mic pro for this?
@@apostolicclips of course any time!
so in the case you are talking about above, you wouldn't need to use a shotgun mic at all since it sounds like you will be running it to some sort of video/audio capture system that will be getting the high quality and your video through HDMI that will sync and stream. So their job would be to make sure that the audio and video are synced correctly. The shotgun mic can be used for scratch audio or backup audio in the case that something fails.
If your only source to capture audio is through the shotgun mic the audio it's going to pick up is going to sound very faint and far away. Does that make sense to you?
man thank you so much (^_^) i have the same camera Lumix g7 and its gorgouse and im planning to have another one
Nice! They are great for multi cam sequences !How long have you had it! What are you mainly using it for ?
At 6:18, you say people have used it for 24 hour livestreams. As far as I know, doesn't it shut off or stop recording after 30 minutes and require manual restarting? Hope I'm wrong but that 24 hour livestreaming feature sounds handy!
yes if you are recording internally it will stop recording after 29 mins (unless you unlock the camera)
However in a live stream setup where you're using an external device like a Cam Link 4K or an ATEM Mini Pro you can leave your camera on (while not recording internally) for as long as you need to.
You will obviously need some external power to keep your camera from dying.
I covered everything you need to do this on another video on my channel czcams.com/video/dDi6vTUbxcY/video.html
@@SeezSantos thank you, that’s great to know! Love your videos, full of great info!
Great video and information but I am still wary of the used version of the same camera. There is something which is called as hours of footage or shots recorded or something like that will make it worth buying. Just wanted to know your view on this.
With modern mirrorless cameras like the G7 that use a electronic shutter a high shutter count is something to look out for if your shooting photos. As for video you just need to make sure that there are now dead pixels within the sensor. You only ever incounter an issue like that if the camera was exposed to lasers or direct sunlight for a long period of time.
Thank you for bringing this up I’m going to cover this on my next videos 🙌🏽
@@SeezSantos Oh 😯 well didn't think it like that. Thank you for explaining it in detail. I will definitely keep this in mind while buying one for myself. Please keep making videos like these , they are really helpful 💯.
Hey!! I know you already started the Canon lens is the best to use, is this lens best for photography and videography?
The sigma lens I mentioned is great for all sorts of uses! it has a good focal range for both video and photography! Just remember that when you use a non-native lens that you can't rely on the autofocus system as before. I touched on this on a new video on my channel! czcams.com/video/xB5s1Hqm9Xo/video.html
Iam too confused about this camera . Canon 200d or g7 in this two camera which one is useful for me . For shortflims & videos😩😩😩😩😩😩
If I can get my hands on the 200D I’d love to test it head to head with the G7! But off the bat the 200D doesn’t have the ability to shoot in 4K! I’ve seen some people create some cinematic shorts and content with the 200D !
Love all the details in this video! I'm thinking about buying the G7 - but have one question... If I were to set this camera up on a tripod, click record - would it record a wedding ceremony? Is sound and auto-focus strong enough on it's own? (my wedding ceremony hahaa. So I would not be able to monitor the camera) Would love to hear what you think, thank you!
Thank you for watching! and great question! lens selection will be key for making sure that the auto focus on this camera will work accordingly! how far will the camera be? I've had good success with my non Lumix lens holding focus at a distance and the Lumix lens do really well as long as you have the correct focus mode selected!
@@SeezSantos Awesome good to know. I think we'd be pretty flexible with the distance! Thanks!
@@funnydashmania yea if your good then you should have any issues! You can always run a test as well 👍🏼
if i were to use this for live streaming, would I NEED that adapter to get all of the crap off of the screen or no?
Your talking about a capture card right? You remove “crap” off the screen by changing turning off a setting hdmi output in camera.
I actually made a whole video on what you can use as well as the settings czcams.com/video/dDi6vTUbxcY/video.html
@@SeezSantos Word. Thank you.
Is that McLovin from Superbad? 😮
😄😄😄
Thank you so much!
Thank You!
I own it. Honestly it depends. For video, almost always "NO". Just get an galaxy S21 or S22 with phone lenses. G7 has no stabilization, no hdmi output while recording and its auto is way over exposed. So you have to buy a lense with stabilization (min $300) or a gimbal (used $250).
Oh and the autofocus -- its shit. No firmware updates to fix it.
Micro 4/3rds is great but save up and get a black magic or the gh5.
It is awesome for pics tho! And you literally adapt any lense to it such as c mount, fd mount, ef mount etc.
I completely understand where your coming from. I have several other pieces of content that go over using what you have like smart phones and what not to create content.
At the end of the day it’s up to you to create things with what you have! The G7 is still to this day great for video. You just need to understand it’s limitations. Like using auto settings. I would avoid that at all cost with any camera?
Even on an iPhone you can get better image quality by selecting the proper exposure using an app like filmic pro than the standard camera app.
The cameras available on most new phones also have there own limitations as well. That can be a whole topic of discussion for another video but that’s still no excuse to not use what you have to create content!
Check my videos out on if the g7 holds up in 2022😁
Great video. Thanks.👌 I have a G7 and I have a question: When I'm filming for CZcams (mostly film and Blu-ray reviews), whenever I hold something up to camera and then put it down there are distinct colour changes to the image. What should I be doing to stop this?🤔 Cheers, Simon.🙂
Great question! What are your WB (white balance) settings? It sounds like it may be set to AUTO based on your description?
@@SeezSantos You nailed it!👏 WB was set to auto.😬 I've now used a custom setting using some white card as reference. Much better.👍 Thanks a bunch.😊

The only thing I don't like about my G7 is the micro jitters. I looked at the G9 and think im just going to pick up a used GH5 to gain ibis.

Idk if you still see these questions! But, im looking to buy one as a gift. I have a choice from a used g85 for $350, or a new g7 for 350. What do you think is the better choice? Mainly for recording videos
I would go for a used G85 or if you can afford the G95 used that would be an even better option. If your main focus is on video features like In-body image stabilization. That's one of many things the G7 lacks. amzn.to/3BEao9u
you also have unlimited recording time with the G85 and G95 vs the G7. Even though I don't ever have a need to go over the 29 min limit on the G7 for some its for scenarios like long interviews

@@SeezSantos so I need a sigma MC 21?
@@SeezSantos I need to use it for real estate shoot but buying a metabone speed booster seems counter intuitive because it costs almost as much as a new Olympus wide angle lens
The metabones is the pricer option but if your looking for a budget friendly speed booster viltrox is great. There are a few other brands as well that are less expensive as well.
Remember If you want to go with a simple adapter like the MC-11( which btw that specific one is for Sony E mount) that’s not a speed booster and your sigma 10-20 it’s going to crop in.
So your 10-20 is going to look like a 20-40mm f7. That’s one of the reasons you should get a speed booster your not only going to only crop in but also lose light from the lens.
I hope this helps
@@SeezSantos thank you so much for taking time to answer my questions. How about sigma MC 21, it should be a good choice? But on the list of supported lens, my wide angle is no on it. How funny that is when the same brand products don't support each other ? I cannot get viltrox in my country.

can you post the link for viltrox adapter thank you
I just updated the links in the description to include that! Thank you by the way! Here is the link as well amzn.to/3wTcY9z
Good to see mclovin is doing good these days 😂
😂 he is !
I use a Smartphone for my youtube videos. I have been wanted to "upgrade" to a real camera, but I don't know if it will really be an upgrade for my video style.
Cool channel by the way! Such a unique niche! "upgrading" will ultimately depend on your workflow. With overhead videos like yours I can see why shooting with a smart phone is simple and effective for your style of videos. Most people won't be able tell the difference unless you start looking into color grading and maybe changing your lighting and you need more dynamic range. I would have never guesses that your videos were shot on your phone!
yooo bro so is the sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 good for photography?
It’s a great photo lens ! Check out the link in the description !
It has still problem with correct autofocus?
Which adapter allows you to use the canon lens with the G7? I don’t see the link and I can’t figure out which adapter is being used in the video.
Viltrox EF-M2 MFT Focal Reducer (speed booster): amzn.to/3KBgGcX
It’s this link that’s on the description I also posted it here
@@SeezSantos thank you! And thank you for making and sharing these videos! I’m just getting started, and these are very helpful. I am, of course, subscribed with notifications turned on, and thumbs up!
Good pm! Is there any way lumix g7 to solve the problem when set-up to desview monitor p5ii when i hit the record button na external monitor turns black and it appear a message "Now Recording Video"
Do you have the solutions or settings for this? Thanks a lot
What gimbal you use for this camera
I have the exact one linked in the description. It’s the Zhiyun Crane 2 with follow focus. It is a little older but it does have a lot of features that you need out of a gimbal. It can vary some pretty heavy cameras !
just came here for the mclovin comments
so far just a few 😅
@@SeezSantos I was surprised 🤣 but you seem like a good sport can take joke. Keep up the good work with camera's

😤 😂
Will the adapter you mentioned work with the Sigma meant for a Nikon?
As long as you get the adapter that is designed for the Nikon mount.
Used G7 on and off since release. I bought some month ago a cabel so i can connect a powerbank all my batterys where almost dead. But in low light g7 sucks
especially if your suing a lens with a F Stop of 3.5 or higher. I made a whole video on that and how to remove the noise that is associated with low light footage shot on the G7 👉czcams.com/video/5qWkMR4j1HU/video.html
@@SeezSantos Cool i will check that video.
Sigma, Canon, which is it? Dude, where’s your lens? 😯 😆
Is that McLovin?
sup man i have a smallrig 1779 cage for my g7 but i need a second cage and cant find anything can you recommend a cage available now to fit a g7?
Yea those cages are no longer made! I was looking to get one as well for my sets up!
There is also the Versa rig by small rig that can work with the g7 but it looks like it’s no longer made either. Nice rig is another brand of cages but it looks like they don’t make there cage anymore 😭 Your best bet is looking at the used market for any cage for the g7!
@@SeezSantos dam :( yeh hard to find now!
6:42 so there's some but
i need a camera for the gym i think this would be great my iphone 13 is meh
you got the 13 pro max?
the one cool thing about your phone is it's more incognito! But the 13 pro can be a great secondary camera if you use an app called filmic pro, you can adjust all the settings to get high-quality video. i have a new video on my channel that breaks down those settings czcams.com/video/gic5cnLqzd0/video.html
@@SeezSantos just iPhone 13
Is this hood for street/urban photos and small vlogs?
If you don't have a need for IBIS (in body stabilization) I would say this is perfect for those on a budget like vlogs and photography. It's an entry level camera but packs a punch with photography.
what is that battery adapter called? how much does it cost?
I have it linked in the description!
I am hesitant to buy this i currently use a gopro hero 7? Should i invest in this camera?
What are you looking to mainly do? are you doing a lot of action sports like the content? Go pros are great! the new one is even crazier.
how does this camera compare to the Panasonic GX85?
This is a tough comparison! But they both use the same sensor and can shoot 4k vidoe but you don’t have any way of connecting an external microphone to the GX85. My the details the gx85 is more photography focused with the ability to shoot video. You also don’t get the CINE color profiles on the GX85. Once cool thing you get to what the GX85 is IBIS so you can shoot some smooth footage !
@@SeezSantos thanks for responding I had the GX85 and sold it and I do regret selling it and now I want to get back into it again ... Looking at the G95 it has the IBIS and is reasonable priced... But I do wish I had kept the GX85... Thanks 👍
Does this camera only have a 30 minute limit of continuous recording?
The US version can be unlocked for free to have an unlimited recording limit. But out of the box it’s capped out at 29min 59 seconds
@@SeezSantos my son has a soccer tournament in Disney and I need something to record from the stands. Will this be good enough or do you suggest something else in the same price range as this?
@@danielp6878 sounds like you need something with good zoom range then? Hand held Camcorders do a better job at recording long distances while maintaining good focus and image stabilization.
@@SeezSantos thank you. Any experience with any handhelds in this price range that may you may have had experience with?
I haven’t had a lot of recent experience with handheld camcorders but for the most part for your case you want to have to have the ability to zoom in quite a bit as well as good image stabilization. Also having 4K resolution can drive the price up on these as well.
I would love to see recordings for how to video utube and wedding . Thanks oh does this shoot unlimited video?
The one I have does not! I have the UK version, but the USA version can be unlocked for unlimited recording!
I’ll keep that idea in mind!!
@@SeezSantos what is the adapter you used for unlimited recording? How do you unlock for unlimited recording?
What model do you have? Specifically what market was it sold in? US, UK, Japan, or international?
It only works with us models. There is a video I’ll make to show case how to do it! If you look up unlimited recording hack g7 it comes right up on CZcams
stop using log if the camera doesn't do 4:2:2 10 bit
The G7 doesn’t have LOG? Cine D isn’t log.
Even so let’s say you have access to vLog L like in the G95/G100 they are 8 bit cameras but you do however get more dynamic range when you use VLog L vs using the standard color profile. czcams.com/video/ffoJzHXJhHI/video.html
@@SeezSantos but in exchange you lose skin tones and midtones, the literal focal point of every video. oh and the extra range is a stop, maybe. Better off getting it right in standard/auto modes, or control the lighting. Saving yourself a lot of time and color detail that's already compromised. 4:2:0 is 25% of the original color. Research anything that isn't explicitly explained. Edit: edited for tone.
@@cevxj 👍🏼
This is just one article and it also covers a different camera systems but based on this one persons finding you are right. Skin tones are effected quite a bit. If I had access to a G95 with VLog L I’d totally test this out www.cined.com/panasonic-gh5-lab-test/
@@SeezSantos There's a few that output to an external recorder through hdmi. I edited the previous comment for tone, this Log video craze is driving me nuts. Like just look at the screen lol. Do what looks best for your story or image, not what someone else told you to do. Thanks for the link, it'll help with my disinformation campaign 🤣
