Panasonic G7 Walkthrough

- This video is going over the Panasonic G7 with the kit lens.
This is to help those who have just purchased the G7 learn their way around the camera body. The more you know, the less you will feel intimidated with the available features and settings!
If you have any questions I did not answer, please let me know in the comments below!
CORRECTION: At 2:14 I say that you can charge in body which is INCORRECT. This is unfortunately one of the only Panasonic cameras that instead of a USB charging/transfer port, it is an AV port. -_-
I apologize for my mistake, I am only human after all! :)

Literally just go this camera last week and girrrlllllll God bless you. I’ve watched a million videos and this by far has been so helpful. I got the camera from a pawnshop and it didn’t come with directions. 😂 thanks so much and I’m a new sub. ❤
Fantastic walkthrough. Simple, clear and precise. Avoided the daunting hassle of reading the manual. Well done.
I'm a total newbie and absolutely overwhelmed by all the cool things this camera can do. I am learning a lot from this video. Thank you!
Hey hi, I am planning to buy this camera and I would like to know if you recommend this to someone like me who wants to do dance videos and photos. Thanks in advance 🙏
Rather than the G7, I would get the G95.
I just got a LUMIX DMC-G7K. This is by far and away one of the most informative videos out there. When I unboxed it and looked at ALL the buttons, dials, symbols and settings, I thought wTf ?!! Your video really made this camera simple to understand. I started shooting photos waaaay back in the sixties with a 35mm Cannon. You explained all the bells and whistles in a clear, concise and understandable video. Thank you very much for such a great video. Just what I looking for !! I'm off to check out your other videos !!
By far the most helpful video for beginners.
i bought this camera as a starter and could not find a simple video to explain functions until this video. Thank you so much for simple learning so helpful i give it 11 out of 10.
finally an actual in depth video that doesn't rush or cut corners! Thank You!
The most intuitive video on UA-cam RE: The Lumix G7 - many many thank you's
Thank you so much, finally understand this camera! Enough to take a decent photo anyway. Appreciated 👍
Thank you so much. I just got this camera for Christmas my husband got me. It was so frustrating trying to figure out how to use this thing whew so helpful❤️❤️❤️
This was so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to go over the camera, the manual just doesn't do it.
Thank you for taking the time to do this video!! By far the best walk through I've viewed. HUGE help to understanding my new camera.
I don't think this could've been done better, what a fantastic job you've done here. Gave me a real feel for the camera and helped me make a purchase decision. Thank you so much!
This is a great video. I was a little intimidated about learning all the buttons and such on this camera but you made it so easy!
Getting a G7 in a few days. Thanks for the clear instruction!
Great video ! Thanks for getting my feet wet, just bought this camera and don’t look forward to reading the manual. This vid very helpful, I’ll be looking for your other videos regarding g7 . You are very articulate, appreciate the info !
This is really good and straight to the point. I'm actually an old school nikon fm10 manual camera user and this is my second micro 4/3 camera, my first being the epl-5. I have to say i was fairly overwhelmed by all the buttons and menus and submenus on the epl-5. With the G7 and especially after this video, I really feel like I completely understand this camera, like really. I think I could tutor someone else, that's how confident I am now. It's almost like this video helped contextualize all the other reading I'd done in manuals for the epl-5 and the g7. Everything just clicked.
Oh my goodness. First time I found a great video on explanation Love this
This is easily the best video I've seen explaining all you need to know about using this camera, EXCELLENT!
You ROCK. You are a wonderful teacher. Very clear, easy to follow. Greatly appreciated.
This was a great video! I’ve been looking for a simple yet precise walkthrough
Many thanks. I've owned this camera for nearly three years and barely knew how to operate it. Thanks to your tutelage, I now possess a greater understanding of the complexities of this complex device.
Thank you for the thorough explanation of the camera. Your video helped me understand so much more about it.
Great video, I just purchased the Panasonic G7 and it's my first professional camera. I was very intimidated by it at first but your video has made me much more confident in using it. Thanks!
Thank you. Just bought my first camera and your video was very helpful.
Dang! This video was great! I'm just starting my channel and trying to elevate my video quality, so I purchased a Panasonic Lumix G7. This tutorial was so helpful. Such a great camera for the price point. Look forward to using your advice and putting better quality content to my viewers.
I just got my camera and I am absolutely clueless and this video helped me out so much thank you!! I thought I Broke my camera bc I couldn’t use the viewfinder but turns out I just had to press the “Fn5” button 😅 😅
love the video - just bought one and your video was easy to understand - THANK YOU
Whew!!! Thank you for your video!! By far, the best video on my new G7. I'll be coming back, often...very often!
Thank you Heather. Yours is the best G7 walkthrough....Thank you very much! Very useful...can't thank you enough! Thumbs up, subscribed.
Hey, great video -- I just bought this camera (it's my first real camera to own) and this was a lot better than having to go through some paper manual
Hey hi, I am planning to buy this camera and I want to ask you if you would recommend this to someone like me who wants a first camera to make dance videos, mostly inside for UA-cam etc. And also to take photos. How does the battery and autofocus work? Thanks in advance 🙏
just bought a Lumix G7 for my youtube channel, thank you for this video !
You sat me down and taught me, Thanks
Thanks so much for the Lumix G-7 video. Very helpful and informative. I was so frustrated that I almost gave up on the camera. Went to the store where I bought it and they didn't help at all. Keep up the good work.
It's really super of you to put such a detailed and helpful guide together for all of us.
THANK YOU!!
This was so very helpful thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this detailed video. I feel confident with using my camera now. 🙌🏾
Wow! Hi Heather, this was awesome! I recently bought a Lumix G7. I am a beginner to all things photography. I signed up for a course in photography and have been looking at other UA-cam videos about the G7 and photography in general but have been having trouble following along because I just didn't understand my camera. You explain things thoroughly and now I understand much more about the camera and how to get to the functions as well as what they mean. Now to work on how to properly use the functions. I'll be looking for more of your video. :)
Excellent tutorial. I really appreciate the clear, unrushed info.
Comprehensive and clear, many thanks
Thank you for the awesome and informative walk thru. I just ordered one, hoping we can make it to our Cali trip. So excited. Can't wait to play with it! Thank you!!
This tutorial is so great! Thank you for going over the basics and taking your time! You rock!
Thank you for the great run through explaining the settings for this Panasonic G7 camera
merci beaucoup pour ces explications, c'est clair et précis ^^
Nicely done! I'm not intimidated anymore! Agree with David Holt below!
Awesome stuff shutterbug you really decoded the photography puzzle for me
I just bought this camera today, and Thanks you that's really helped me
Thanks for the very helpful tutorial just bought this decent camera !
Even though I was in "P" mode and followed along with you, some options (flash and menu options) were not the same...even after the factory reset. Not sure why, but it was an incredible tutorial nonetheless!! THANK YOU
This video was so helpful, thank you so much. Would you be willing to share your suggestion on best settings for a 4K quality video for a G7 LUMIX Camera to produce those cinematic shots.
For 4K video, I would shoot at the highest option which is 30p. This will give you a cinematic look but also keep in mind because it’s only 30 frames, you will need to move your camera slowly and smoothly as to not miss any frames in between movements.
Shutterbug 101 I will try that out , thank you!
Super helpful for a noob such as myself. Thanks for creating this video.
Thank you this is wonderful! 🙂 Extremely helpful! I wish you had an Amazon link so you could get credit for my purchase. Your video will be the reason i buy this camera.
Thanks so much. I was so fkn pissed because i couldn't figure the camera out. Its my first cam and i was hella lost. Thanks alot 🤠
Thank you so much! Your video was very informative :)
Thank you so much!!! Your video walkthrough is very helpful!!! And very clear, easy to understand!
Thanks for this Heather -- an actual information video with no wanky gimmicks. Refreashing and useful.
I hate reading manuals, you saved me thanks!
You have saved me from reading that forsaken manual!Great video!I am missing a few of the settings you had in your quick settings and even menu.Is this camera based or am I just missing something,thank you!
I figured it out!How about that lol
Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
I agree best information on the Web about this camera
I really thank you I feel I learned quite a bit by you showing me my camera and understanding it more you are very helpful thank you so much 💕👍💕
i got this camera for christmas, just needed to see how it worked.
This video is appreciated, thanks!
well, it works I got mine at a good deal, on eBay; I had to buy it the Panasonic Lumix G7 Mirrorless Camera with 14-42mm Lens and Accessories Kit (Black); I got this device on 7-22-23; right; from the start it works that's all I can say sir-mam furthermore, I was going to get the G85, G95 by Lumix; but the G7 was my first choice in the beginning search for a camera; so went back to the G7; based on its not that much major difference in those cameras; the image quality (sensors) is excellent, good; the kit lens, well it was little better that I thought it was going to be however; I'm still looking for a prime lens; certain 1 star reviews were good, before I had bought it and the UA-cam videos are good tips; I dry run some videos in the Windy City of Ill, and it works real good; but the flash for taking pictures, as so stated in videos is tricky to turn on, and off; and the Wi-fi so far is not working on it in terms of details; again the camera works; good; that's all can say sir-mam for right now; I'm still dry running it; another good thing that was a surprise the audio sound is good; but the thing is its so sensitive that it picks up the clicking sound of the camera adjustment, like the clicking of the shutter etc; I recommend buy the it the device is good; yea; sir-mam
Thanks for the video. Very well explained. Love it
Thanks for this really useful information, I really liked it, and wondered how it was done. I do however have some comments to make. I currently have the following counts.
PWRCNT 218
SHTCNT 1678
STBCNT 8
I have not long had my camera and I have 218 in the PWRCNT.
The very fist day I had it I turned on Electronic shutter only, before I had even take a shot but still have 1678 so I think it records all shutter actuations both electronic and mechanical.
Finally the STBCNT can not be strobe as I have never fired it and still have a count of 8. I belive STBCNT stands for STandBy CouNT which makes more sense to me.
I hope this helps. Once again thanks for taking the time to share this information.
Thank you so much, very well explained.
THE best thank you so much. I will continue to refer to.
Thank u so much for this helpful tutorial
Love your video but I need to get back green lines when I am taking a picture or a video that tell me that my picture or video are kind of balance. I also would like to know how I can see the full image on the screen. My camera was doing that but someone accidentally played with the settings.
To get the balance bars back, just hit the DISP. button until they show up on the shooting screen. When it comes to seeing the full image in playback mode, you will hit that same button. :)
great video
Great video. Thank you for explaining all this!!!!!!!!🎈
Thank you for the thorough video. !!
This is really helpful. Thank you.
This is awesome 👌 and so are you!
Thank you!! Great content
Extremely helpful, thank you
Awesome vid. Some of your options in your Quick Menu aren'r showing up for mine. Is there a way for me to add the shortcuts to the quick menu?
Yes, if you go to menu>wrench C tab>Q.Menu>and change how you see fit!
this was very helpful! thank you!
Does the G7 have an auto-iris control? I own a G7 and have constantly adjusted the Fstop and shutter when shooting run and gun outdoors. Thanks for any feedback
If you set your camera to S for shutter speed, you can focus on controlling how fast you want to take the photo while the camera decides on the aperture.
@@Shutterbug101 I was referring to video, sorry I wasnt clear.
This rule still applies to video :) just on a more restrictive scale depending on your frame rate
@@Shutterbug101 ok thanks,
I'll experiment. Much appreciated.
Very nice gadget, not cheap too 😊 very helpful video
Hello, I use lumix g7 too and I have problem with their brightness. Everytime I shoot dark/black object, the background become very very bright. How do I fix this? Thank you😄
This happens due to metering. You can help correct this by adjusting your exposure, the button with the +/- and making it a negative number to make it darker. Here is some more information about metering! ua-cam.com/video/XZyK7Yp0Wpo/v-deo.html
YES IT ALSO SHOWS SOME GRAINS
This video is so good.
Hello Ms Shutterbug, great video! You mentioned you would be doing a detailed video on AFS/AFF AFC , have you done that yet ? Specifically I am interested in learning how to use these different settings and when is the best time to use them while shooting video. Also, how does the AF/AE lock button work? ....Also I’m confused, because in settings I have Continuous AF on, but when I go to shoot video, the display mode screen has a readout that says AF off with an icon of a finger touching a square bullseye . FYI; I have the button on the outside of the camera selected to AFS/AFF. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated !
Shutterbug, I agree if we could get a video of you explaining the different modes and settings for Auto focus while in video mode would be great. Also what is the Lock button used for ? That would be awesome. I like your style, you explain things well :-)
Hi there viewers! Thank you for watching. Here is the link for the focus modes and areas: ua-cam.com/video/0ajF1YRfA2s/v-deo.html
When it comes to the AF/AE lock button, that allows you to lock in the lighting that you want in a specific area, like a backlit subject or making the subject a silhouette. More about metering in this video: ua-cam.com/video/XZyK7Yp0Wpo/v-deo.html
As for your video focus, you will want to set your switch to AFC, and if you have your focusing mode on tracking, it wants you to touch the screen where you want it to track in the frame to lock the focus.
Hope this helps!
Great video. Thank you!
Wow. This was so well done. I learned a lot. I still have what looks like parentheses on the lcd screen. What is that and how do I get rid of it? Thanks.
Ah I believe that’s the level, hit the DISP. button on the back of the camera until your happy with the display. That should give you a basic option with no level!
very helpful! thank you
great video! so informative. what settings would you use for filming green screen videos?
John Garuti, Realtor I would be sure to have a good lighting setup and take advantage of your aperture video mode and open it up enough to let the light in, but not too much to where it is overblown, around the f/2.8-3.5 Mark. Set your ISO between 100 and 800 on auto and you should be good to go!
This video was great
Hey did you ever make the G7 manual mode walkthroughs? I cant find them on your channel.
I went through the P A and S modes in the playlist link below, haven’t done one on the M mode yet but let me know if you have any questions!
ua-cam.com/play/PL0jHU7tULNujpSsJ6n5hrddSUWVRvKy_p.html
Great tutorial! Thanks
This is so helpful! I'll have to watch a few times, but that is me - slow to memorize until actually using/doing and see how it comes out. I got this to try getting pics of birds n squirrels in yard. I would love to get night shots of owls if possible, but have no idea how to do any yet. Really excited to experiment. Thank you for teaching an old lady new tricks. The store had me buy a SanDisk Extreme plus SDXC UHS-1 128G memory level 3. Is this ok for video of birds/critters on the move? TY again. Peace🎇🌠🌄🦉🦅🦋
That should be a great card to handle the buffering using continuous shooting for animals! Sounds like they got you set up to start successfully! Let me know if you have any questions!
@@Shutterbug101 Thank you! I am so looking forward to using it. I had a young skunk waddling thru my yard last night and I wished I had been able to experiment with him but my car scared him off. Thank you for your offer. I hope to take you up on it soon 😃 Happy Spring from Maine.
Thanks
Hi. Thank you for this. So informative.
Can I ask how can I take photos with not much blur.
Great question! If your photos are blurry, you need the camera to take a faster photo! This is where your shutter speed mode can help! Use the S mode and use the minimum 1/500 to however fast it can go (I think 1/4000 or 1/8000). The higher the number the faster the photo, so it will depend on how fast you or your subject is moving. I would set your ISO to auto until you can master your shutter speed and aperture. :)
Thank you!
Hi can you tell me how to put on elekronic shutter versus mechanical , because one time it was on electronic and i have no idea how to turned it on , so i resetted my camera
In your first tab (make sure your camera is on a manual mode, not Auto, you should see options for your shutter choice.
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
@@Shutterbug101
OK video, ...it would be a GREAT video if a visual sample of features were shown... Thanx.
If you are referring to the 4K burst and post focus, it is coming soon!
QUESTION: The AE/AF LOCK button on my G7 has NO PHYSICAL FEEL. There is no click like every single other button on the camera. Is this normal or do you think the button is broken?
Is the button moving in and out when you push it? There shouldn’t be a click, but you should feel it move.
Un gran video!!! Una pregunta, la pantalla entra en modo hibernación a los pocos minutos, y la opción de "ahorro" me aparece desactivada, tendrías alguna solución para esto? Gracias por adelantado
