4K Video and 4K Photo Never miss the perfect moment

4K Photo
Furthermore, with the 4K Photo feature, you can extract the perfect frame from a 4K video sequence easily, on the camera, and save it as an 8 megapixel still image.

The LUMIX G7 frees your creativity for both video and photo

Focus on the Moment

Find absolute sharpness in a split-second with Panasonic's Depth From Defocus (DFD) Auto Focus technology*. Where traditional auto focus only analyses the contrasts in an image, DFD predicts your focal point by comparing two images with different depth of field, for better results in less time. This new system results in AF speeds up to 0,07 seconds** and a burst shooting speed with AF tracking of 7 frames per second. It also increases the stability of continuous focusing when shooting video.

* Contrast AF with DFD technology works only with Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lenses.
** In AFS, with the H-FS14140.

Everything in the right place

Not only does the LUMIX G7 feature a solid design but also truly intuitive operation. The body design allows you to instantly access key functions like the front aperture and shutter speed dial. Settings can also be assigned to six easy to operate function buttons (fn-buttons)*.

* Six buttons on the body and five buttons on the menu.

4K BURST (START & STOP)

High Speed Auto-Focusing with DFD Technology

Capture even the fastest moving action thanks to Panasonic's Depth From Defocus (DFD) Auto Focus (AF) technology*. The LUMIX G7 features this brand new technology instantly calculating the distance between the items inside the frame and drives the focus of the lens in one fast, continuous movement. This new system results in AF speeds up to 0.07 seconds** and a burst shooting speed with AFC of 6 frames per second. It also increases the stability of continuous focusing when shooting video.

* Contrast AF with DFD technology works only with Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lenses.
** In AFS, with the H-FS14140

Fast and Precise AF Tracking

With the new algorithm of AF Tracking, not only the colour but also the size and motion vector of the target are recognized, enabling the camera to lock on the subject even more securely. The result is the AF tracking performance of approximately 200% or greater which refrains the camera from losing the subject*.

Fosucing in Low Light Conditions - Star Light AF

Low Light AF makes it possible to focus subjects more precisely in -4EV low light situations,like moonlight with no other light source. Furthermore, the LUMIX G7 newly integrates the Starlight AF to let you shoot a star in the night sky with auto focus by accurate calculation of the contrast value in a smaller AF zone.
