World’s First 32-bit Float Recording*
When combined with the DMW-XLR2 (sold separately), the LUMIX GH7 enables the world’s first 32-bit float recording,* capturing a wider dynamic range and eliminating the need for tedious sound level adjustments during audio recording.
*For an interchangeable lens digital camera, as of June 5th 2024. According to Panasonic's research. When used with the XLR microphone adaptor DMW-XLR2 (sold separately).
ARRI LogC3 Recording
Create true cinematic masterpieces with ARRI's professional log colour. Utilising the ARRI LogC3* curve on the GH7 enables seamless colour matching with ARRI's digital cinema cameras. The SFU3 software upgrade key (sold separately) enhances colour output that is certified by ARRI.
*ARRI LogC3 is a Log gamma developed by ARRI and used in ARRI digital cinema cameras. Please note: ALEXA 35 uses ARRI LogC4. *On the LUMIX GH7, ARRI LogC3 can be used for 10bit recording in Creative Video mode. ･ARRI is registered trademarks of Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co. Betriebs KG.
Proxy Video Recording
Proxy video files are lower quality copies which offer easier playback in editing systems, allowing you to seamlessly cut your video in post production without straining your computer. The GH7 can record a master file and proxy file at the same time, reducing the need to create proxies when importing your clips into your project, speeding up the edit. Proxies are also useful for quick turnarounds and for providing clients with previews using LUTs, all while preserving the log flexibility of the master file.
Compatibility with Adobe Camera to Cloud
The LUMIX GH7 camera is now natively integrated with Frame.io Camera to Cloud, the leading cloud-based collaboration platform that allows users to share and collaborate while editing still images and videos. By connecting the camera to the internet via Wi-Fi or USB tethering, you can automatically upload images (JPEG/RAW) and Proxy videos directly from the camera to the Frame.io platform. This integration allows editors and collaborators to access footage or images, connecting the production process to post-production enabling a much more efficient content creation process.
･Not all features of Frame.io Camera to Cloud are guaranteed. ･Frame.io, the Frame.io logo, and Camera to Cloud are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Adobe in the United States and/or other countries.
Direct recording to USB-SSD
With the LUMIX GH7, recording and playback is supported using an external SSD via USB. In addition, the ability to record ProRes RAW HQ and 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra directly to SSDs, which combine portability and high capacity has improved efficiency in data backup and post-processing.
･An AC Adaptor DMW-AC11 (optional) and DC Coupler DMW-DCC18 (optional) are required to record HFR/VFR video of 61fps or higher on a USB-SSD. ･It is not possible to record video and photo on the SD card simultaneously while recording it on the external SSD. ･Use an external SSD no more than 2 TB in size that is compatible with USB Type-C. We recommend using an external SSD whose operation has been confirmed by Panasonic. Note beforehand that this is not a guarantee of operation on all devices. ･Latest information on the external SSDs will be available at the following support site at the same time as firmware release: https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/index.html
Streaming Anytime, Anywhere
Wireless Live Streaming / USB-tethering (RTMP/RTMPS)
Enjoy creative live streaming both indoors and outdoors. Live streaming (RTMP/RTMPS protocol) can be easily configured via the LUMIX Sync app (Android / iOS). In environments with a lot of radio interference, stable communication speed can be ensured by tethering the camera via USB to a smartphone.
･Live streaming to the platforms that comply with RTMP/RTMPS is basically possible (Compatibility with all the platforms is not guaranteed.) There may be the cases where the live streaming is not possible when the service of the platform changes. For more information, please refer to the terms and conditions of the platform. ･Since the transmission speed of live streaming varies depending on the Internet environment, smartphone performance, etc., we recommend that you conduct a transmission test in advance. ･Android and Google Play are trademarks or registered trademarks of Google Inc.
･IOS is a trademark or registered trademark of Cisco in the U.S. and other countries and is used under license.
Wired Live Streaming (RTP/RTSP)
Enjoy highly stable communication via IP streaming (RTP/RTSP) over a wired LAN connection in indoor environments. Connecting cameras and PCs via wired LAN cable, multiple cameras can be controlled for delivery of high-quality video and audio up to 4K 60p/50p. H.264 and H.265 codecs are selectable.
*A commercially available USB ethernet adaptor is required to convert the DC-GH7's USB Type C terminal to a LAN terminal. Compatibilities of USB ethernet adapter: https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/ethernet_adp/index.html
Colour Grading Straight Out of the Camera
REAL TIME LUT
Simplify the editing process with LUTs applied in camera for quick turn arounds. There is also the ability to record LUTs to Proxy files while maintaining the full flexibility of the LOG master file. LUMIX Lab app makes it possible to easily transfer and share LUTs to camera simplifying the upload process.
LUMIX Lab App
Pair the camera with your smartphone in three steps and transfer content seamlessly with ultra-fast Wi-Fi connection. You can also crop, adjust brightness, apply LUTs, etc., enabling simple editing for any social media platform to be done in a snap.
LEICA Monochrome
Leica is well known for its superior picture quality and has a reputation from users all over the world for its outstanding depiction and expressiveness. Through our L2 Technology collaboration, we learned the picture-making philosophy that Leica has built up over its long history and realized this mode as one of the new expressiveness of the LUMIX camera. It features deep contrasts between black and white.
･Compared to LUMIX’s L.Monochrome D, LEICA Monochrome shows brighter images on highlights, and generally strong and dynamic monochrome.
100MP Handheld High Resolution Mode
The LUMIX GH7's High Resolution Mode supports hand-held shooting, using the Body Image Stabilizer (B.I.S.) mechanism to shift the sensor while capturing consecutive images. Then, it selects multiple steadiest shots and automatically synthesizes them into a 100-megapixel equivalent (11,552 x 8,672-pixel) file. This allows you to capture magnificent natural scenery and detailed works of art in ultra-high resolution without using a tripod.
