My First Look at the Lumix GH7

- Finally got my hands on the GH7, and so far, this is an incredible camera. This turned out to be more of a podcast, and me getting out my thoughts on everything, so my apologies!
Gear Used:
Camera 1: Lumix S5iix
Camera 2: Lumix GH7
Lens 1: 24-70MM F2.8 DG DN Art Lens
Lens 2: Panasonic Lumix G Leica DG Vario-Summilux 10-25mm, F1.7 ASPH
Microphone: Rode Wireless Pro
You’re misnaming USB-C ports “SSD”. The ”SS” labeling means “Super-Speed”. Also GH6 & GH7 have 3 Video Record buttons since the Shutter Button by *default* functions as a 3rd Video Record button while in Video mode!
For that reason, it’s *sensible* that the top-mounted red Record button is less “forward”.
If you hold the Shutter Button down partially, while in Video mode, you get to auto-focus before pressing the shutter completely to instantiate Video Record!
I frequently use the Shutter button for Video Record start/stop which is convenient when holding the GH6 or GH7 from a top handle.
To disable that functionality you’d go to MENU > Cog Wheel > AF > Assign Record to Shutter Button > OFF.
I picked up a GH7 a couple weeks ago, and also a MEIKE®️ 8mm T2.9 for Music Video and Selfie Recording for Vlog use.
Never mind humorous suggestions we are late to the GH7 acquisition party, now realizing the new $200 markdown. I picked up mine lightly used from B&H Photo Video for even greater savings.
Decent overview! Subscribed.
Thank you! And yes, I have all of my Lumix cameras setup to record on shutter!
The L in V-Log L stands for Lite. V-log has 15 stops of Dynamic range, V-log L has only 12 stops. it's a compressed version of Vlog but is still 10 bit. There is more noise in the shadows and will clip sooner. Thats the difference. I need to put on my glasses I had to edit my comment because at first I thought you were saying that the g7 had a better sensor than a gh5 mark 2 lol 🤓
12 stops is enough for gh5
@@andersistbesser regular 10 bit higher end cameras have 14+. 12 is pretty low in 2025
@@BassDad-TV lol they all lie. Canon claimed c400 having 16 stops and it turned out it has more like 12-13 real atops. Nikon z6iii has 12.5 or something
@that’s irrelevant in this because regardless if Vlog-L is really 10 stops and OG Vlog is 12-13 stops then there is still a deficit of 2-2.5 stops. And 2.5+ stops comparatively is a big difference in today’s camera world.
Real-World Dynamic Range of Panasonic Log Profiles:
• V-Log (Full): Independent tests suggest about 12-13 usable stops (vs. the claimed 14+).
• V-Log L: More like 10-11 usable stops (vs. the claimed 12).
You are very late to the party. WELCOME to the GH7 party woo!
You can flip up the screen as well
I talk about that. One of my favorite features!
Hi I just subscribed your channel. I have question. Did you find any remonte control to panasonic cameras ??? Of course we can use mobile phone but I would like to connect simple remonte control but I can find them in the store. Bestr regards
@@angelgardenvlog I have not. Never really looked into it. Phone is what I would use. I’ll look around!
@@backlinefilms thank you :)))
let me know wen you find this remonte control
Finding remotes that work with Panasonic branded cameras is easy! Even Best Buy sells them.

Not happening!
I wonder why you guys all buy the 10-25. in my opinion the 25-50 is much more important. 10-25 is covered by other lumix lenses, the 25-50 is special.
I bought it awhile back to use for weddings. To get wide and to that 50mm FF equivalent, which I used often for shots. This is also pretty close to the 24-70, and that is a lens I use for everything I film. So for me, this range was a no brainer. In the future, I plan to also grab the 25-50 though as well!
What's a GH& lol
@@Jeff_Moreland Did I misprint that somewhere? Lol
@@backlinefilms yeah check the description lol
@@Jeff_Moreland I see it! Thanks, I’ll update that
