As a professional, I’m truly impressed with the GH7 after a month of use. Its settings allow for exceptional cinematic image quality. The V-Log profile offers incredible dynamic range, and the option to purchase the ARRI Log C3 profile makes it a versatile choice for commercial or narrative projects. The hybrid autofocus feature and recording options in 4K and 6K are also major advantages. This camera perfectly meets the demands of professional videographers. Kudos to Panasonic!
You’re a godsend. My new G9M2 arrives tomorrow and I’ve spent the last two days reading the online owner’s manual (844 pages!!!). The OM is loaded with details on how to change settings, but is weak on criteria for making decisions and has no recommendations. There’s no substitute for professional advice. Thank you for making the videos related to the G9M2. I subscribed!
Hi, thanks for the video. I just got the Gh7 and still discovering it. I've heard we can shoot anamorphic with the gh7. But I'm not sure how we can do so without using anamorphic lenses. Can we and if so, what are the settings ?
Hey Caleb, thanks for this great video. I had the GH7 for a month and while i love it, i do encounter a bug-- When the camera is set to record ArriLogC, using view assist, if the LUT for view assist is NOT the default LogC-709, it seems to yield strange effect? I was trying to use a +1-Exp lut to help ETLR but this bug has made that hard. It works as expected in Realtime LUT, but not when you try to shoot LogC. Even with the latest v1.2 firmware this problem persist. Did you experience the same thing?
What is the resolution you'd choose for social media - best middle ground between file sizes and potential for grading/editing? I usually shoot 4K or C4K 10bit 422 and one of the lowest mbps and export it in FHD
Hi, I love your channel and tips. Can I ask, I’ve checked everywhere. When the S5iix is set in A for photo and I press the red record button it always films in 4k is there a way to set this to record 6K opengate? Many thanks
from reading the specs it seems that for ultimate recording quality a Blackmagic video assist will capture the full height of the sensor in 30 fps [5.8K] 5760x4320 (4:3) and [5.7K] 5728x3024 (17:9) up to 60 fps in 12 bit color. it seems like the internal raw is mostly for situations where you don't have the space to add an external recorder but otherwise its preferable if you go for that raw quality.
@@CalebHoover Oh for sure!! I'm so happy you do hit all the cams too! I just wrote that for anyone out there that already has the GH6 and saw a setting they liked or never thought about before. I remember when I first got my GH6 about a year and a half ago... I watched your GH6 settings video to help me get it all set up! The GH series cameras have a lot more settings than a lot of other cams, that's for sure!
And I am using aperture priority so shutter speed changes between 1/60s - 1/10000s. Video is always sharp and motion is perfect. Shooting video is not always film making or cinematic story telling.
Wrote to you 2 months ago ... but no answer ... 2nd try : On my LUMIX GH7 Can ANYONE tell me WHY my SHUTTER starts recording with theses settings : V-LOG / PRORES / 5.7K RAW HQ / 30fps / FULL (not pixel to pixel) / AFC (continuous focus) / HUMAN EYE-DETECT If i switch to 4K resolution ... the shutter does NOT start to record, it simply focuses (??) Is that the DEFAULT function for the shutter in 5.7K only ?? How can i CHANGE that ?? I just want the dedicated RED buttons to start recording when i press them !
I shoot 5.8 K 4:3 opengate apple pro res raw HQ 12 bit on my atomos ninja v plus in rec 709 on my Gh6. Autofocus off. Manual focus only for my cinema work.
I just bought gh7 and i am stunned that it has 67 video modes but NO real 4k50 in 4.3 open gate.. even my gh5 had 4k open gate 50 even tough it was 8bit. Gh7 only has 4.4 k 50 pixel to pixel which means this mode does NOT use all of the sensor and quality is diminished. I hope a firmware fixes this becaus 4k50 open gate was my favorite in gh5 so by now gh7 cant do what my gh5 could do…
Agreed it's a shame there are no 50 or 60FPS Full Sensor modes. However the GH5 had about 20% less resolution than the GH7. 20MP VS. 25MP. Also unless you have an 8K television, you won't see a difference anyway. It is nice to have more resolution for editing in post though. I get that if you're serious about video.

Great, thanks a lot.
I would be interested in your top 5 MFT lenses 😁
i have one with 2 of the best
Is dynamic range boost works with all profiles? Thanks for your answer.
Great rundown thanks❤
Thx I can’t wait to get my GH7 next week!
Can't wait to get my hands on this
🔥
What rec quality would you say is best for social media (facebook/linkedin) etc?
Ayeee lets go!
you know!
Great info as always! What tube light are you using in the back? Link if possible?

Hi, whats the max usable iso for gh7? (natural profile please)

How's the photography capabilities of gh7

aight
@@CalebHoover I would love to see some raw samples captured like so , in various light situation , including noise reduction in post :-)
Same here. Atomos ninja all the way. Gh7 not really required for cinema
Do you have to keep the LUT loaded onto all SDs? Or does it upload to the camera for good?
Great!
just putting this out there for when peeps get it in their hands
Hey Caleb on the 24.00 cinema mode are the file sizes bigger?
should be too much bigger
*shouldnt
Thanks. To me 24.00 cinema mode looks better for some reason
Do you like that Smallrig Black Mamba? Mine moves in the hand so that it makes a clicking noise and wondering about other options.
favorite cage by a long shot
What’s the disadvantage shooting full res 5.3k?
GH7 or Sony FX3?
PRO TIP: These settings also work for the GH6
gotta hit all the cams my friend

Gh6 has better video quality and I shoot in P mode. Vlog is still great for cinema.
Why didn’t you go for Sony FX3 full frame ?
Am i shooting wrong if i shoot sports and vacation memories with 6k 60p cined2 and watching with 85 inch 8k tv??
