Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 Kit 14-42mm F/3.5-5.6 OIS – Silver. Set to Continuous, the G7 will shoot at 8fps in Single AF or 6fps with Continuous AF and Live View, both up by one frame per second over its predecessor. Panasonic lumix fz300 long zoom digital camera features 12.1 megapixel, 1/2.3-inch sensor, 4k video, wifi, splash & dustproof camera body, leica dc 24x f2.8 zoom lens - dmc-fz300k Condition: Brand New A prime lens was out of the question for this comparison due to the different crops taken by each camera, so I switched to the Olympus 7-14mm f2.8, set to f4 for the best quality and adjusted between 12 and 14mm to deliver the same field of view for each mode and each camera. Here’s what the coverage looked like for each mode. The earlier G6 had a thumb dial which could be clicked-in to change its function, along with a rocker control under your index finger which could also operate power zooms. For starters, there’s a new dedicated drive mode dial on the top panel, to the left of the viewfinder hump; this lets you easily switch between single, continuous, 4K Photo, bracketing, self timer or timelapse drive modes. Panasonic has announced the LUMIX DMC-G7 mirrorless micro 4/3s interchangeable lens camera. I ended up using the Burst mode more often than not. The Lumix G7’s mechanical shutter offers speeds between 1/4000 and 60 seconds, or a maximum Bulb length of two minutes; long exposure photographers may find the latter limiting. Since the G7 actually manages to roughly match this for continuous AF and exceed it for single AF, I’d say that’s a good result for the camera as continuous AF in burst shooting was traditionally an aspect where DSLRs lead. It’s an important capability that makes the G7 very usable across a wide range of lighting conditions. The G5 has a resolution of 15.9 megapixels, whereas the G7 provides 15.8 MP. Three exclusive 4K Photo functions are newly integrated into the LUMIX DMC-G7: 4K Burst Shooting, 4K Burst (Start/Stop) and 4K Pre-burst; all of which help allow you to capture and record that perfect picture by cropping the exact frame you want out of your 4K video footage. There’s also the Cinelike V and Cinelike D profiles inherited from the GH4, the latter offering fairly flat output for grading later (plus you can dial-it down even further if desired). Sample movie filmed with the Panasonic Lumix G7 in its 4k UHD / 25p mode. Ultimately I feel the OMD EM5 II’s chunkier dials are more tactile, but it’s a higher-end camera; for its price point, the G7’s dials work very well.

Above: 4k Photo Grab, 1/16000, f1.7, 400 ISO, 42.5mm (85mm equiv), Above: 4k Photo Grab, 1/4000, f6.3, 800 ISO, 14-42mm at 42mm (84mm equiv). It offers 4K video at 30/24p, a 16.00-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor with the Venus Engine image processor and an ISO Range of up to 25,600. Meanwhile an exact 3840×2160 crop (as recorded by the GH4) is indicated by the inside edge of the red frame, and as you can see while the 1:1 crop definitely loses more coverage, it’s not much to pay for a potential reduction in artefacts. The Lumix G7 is a mid-sized mirrorless camera with a viewfinder hump above the lens mount. So while I commend Canon and Nikon for equipping these DSLRs with fully-articulated touch-screens, I feel the G7 delivers a preferable compositional experience overall. Above: Lumix G7 14-42mm kit zoom coverage at 14mm (left) and 42mm (right). I’ve made a composite above (using actual footage I filmed) of a still photo, overlayed by the G7’s 4k video crop, indicated by the outside edge of the red frame. The lens was the Lumix 14-42mm kit zoom in Manual Movie mode. Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 equivalent aperture: Aperture is a lens characteristic, so it's calculated only for fixed lens cameras. Of course this is just one example and in others greater differences may emerge. Lumix DMC-G7: With sophisticated ... superb controls and 4K video capture, the Panasonic G7 packs a serious punch. Fitted with a UHS-1 card and with the camera set to capture Fine JPEGs only with AFS, I fired-off 87 frames in 9.81 seconds for a rate of 8.9fps, after which the camera slowed its speed. I’m pleased however to report the Lumix 14-42mm kit zoom, pictured on the G7 below, performs very well for its size. There’s a hotshoe for external flashguns. Once you’ve captured the desired number of frames, the camera offers to encode them into a movie; if preferred you can trigger this process during playback later. In theory the GH4’s 1:1 crop for 4k should allow it to better avoid moire and scaling artefacts, while only suffering from slightly less coverage than the G7 with the same lens. For 4K video, however, the Lumix G7 is mighty impressive at this level. Panasonic Lumix G9 Review Wrap Up. Anybody know if that's correct? If you desire a nice portrait lens, I can highly recommend Panasonic’s Lumix G 42.5mm f1.7 or the Olympus 45mm f1.8. This item PANASONIC LUMIX G7 4K Mirrorless Camera, with 14-42mm MEGA O.I.S. 4K UHD video is available at 24p and either 25p or 30p depending on region, all at 100Mbit/s. 3840 pixel long in 3/2 = 1,91x crop factor in 16/9 4K UHD video mode. GH4 4k UHD crop indicated by inner edge . On the GH4, an exact 3840x2160 pixel crop is taken from the middle of the 4608x3456 sensor and encoded without scaling. In my tests it was generally fine for kids or pets playing around, but not up to sports played at a high level. Above: Download the original file (Registered members of Vimeo only). Set the G7’s focus dial to MF and you can manually focus the lens with a wealth of visual assistance. The Lumix G 12-60mm 3.5-5.6 objective lens is perfect for mirrorless devices.

Here’s one I filmed of a tasty Thali lunch at Brighton’s Chilli Pickle restaurant, composed of 1200 frames at one second intervals and encoded at 25fps – so a 20 minute period compressed into 48 seconds. 79 Reviews. For me this isn’t possible with either the Canon EOS 750D / T6i or Nikon D5500, and is tricky with the Sony A6000. And finally a clip filmed at the G7’s maximum movie sensitivity of 6400 ISO. Below left is the G7 and below right is the GH4, both filming in 4k UHD. I do however wish Panasonic would offer USB charging in-camera for its mirrorless cameras. Two more interesting 4K features are Post Focus and 4K Live Crop. I’ll start with the G7 in 4k UHD below left and in 1080p below right, and it’s pretty clear how recording in 4k is resolving considerably greater detail. 313. The touchscreen is well-used for movies: it’s possible to tap to pull-focus between subjects when filming, either automatically if Continuous AF is enabled, or as soon as you half-press the shutter release if it’s disabled. Between this and the Single shooting modes, you’ll find options for Continuous shooting, 4K Photo, Bracketing and the Self Timer. SOLVED: https://www.reddit.com/r/PanasonicG7/comments/3zfu0f/crop_factor_for_4k_video/cym5c9j. VisiHow QnA. It’s also possible to apply some of the effects to movies which are then encoded at the selected video size up to 1080 / 50p / 60p. The lens was the Lumix Leica 25mm f1.4, set to f1.4 in Manual Movie mode. Check out these and my other recommendations in my Micro Four Thirds lens guide. GH4 4k UHD crop indicated by inner edge. Does anybody know the exact difference in crop? I was reading around, and saw that the crop factor is slightly different on the G7, as it grabs a larger amount of the sensor, then scales it down to 4k. Can I edit a 4k frame taken from a Lumix G7 after the fact? Now let’s see how the G7’s coverage for 4k compares to the GH4, again when both are fitted with the same 25mm f1.4 lens. I also have a version filmed in 1080 / 25p – see my Lumix G7 low light 1080p movie. Whether you’re shooting cityscapes at night or exploiting the excellent face and eye detection to capture events, the G7’s AF system feels very confident. It is in short the best quality small, budget kit zoom I’ve used. This would seem like a fantastic result for the G7, but it’s important to also compare the actual moving footage on a native 4k display. The lens was the Lumix Leica 25mm f1.4, set to f1.4 in Manual Movie mode. But both these DSLRs miss out on assistance like focus peaking, zebra patterns, and of course the larger view afforded by the viewfinders of rival mirrorless cameras. It all adds up to one of the best-featured mid-range cameras around, but does it make it one of the best in practice? Personally speaking I prefer having the quick Single AF and low light performance. But the important thing is to see how the footage compares in practice. Amazing what this little camera can do at this price point. With the mode dial set to Creative you can choose from 22 effects on-screen with a preview of how they’ll look applied to the live image. Tilting LCD screens have become a staple of interchangeable Lumix cameras and the G7 and GX85 are no exception. Can I edit a 4k frame taken from a Lumix G7 after the fact? As it stands, they’re all quite small and give minimal feedback when pushed. I think the GX85 has a larger initial crop. You can control pretty much any aspect of the camera with the touch-screen and Q.Menu interface, although to adjust either the exposure, drive or focusing modes, you’ll need to turn their dedicated respective dials. Moving on, the G7 is equipped with Wifi for wireless image transfer and remote control with Andoid and iOS smartphones. I know the GH4 is 2.3 in 4k. Like earlier models, Panasonic makes good use of the touch-sensitive capabilities of the screen. Again the crops are from the middle of the frame and shown here at 100%. I do however feel Panasonic could have made its various buttons larger or travel further. There’s no battery grip option, and at this price-point neither the G7 nor any comparably priced rivals can claim weather-sealing either – for example, the Olympus OMD EM5 II costs over 50% more than the G7. One of the other highlights of shooting with a single-digit G-series camera is the fully-articulated touch-screen that can flip and twist to any angle. Meanwhile in RAW and AFS, I fired-off 15 frames in 1.96 seconds for a rate of 7.7fps, after which the rate slowed to around 2.5fps. In this clip I tested the continuous AF by moving steadily towards, then away from the subject in a ‘dolly’ motion. Filmed in the 4k UHD / 25p mode. I prefer fully-articulated screens to ones that only tilt vertically as I can angle them for high and low compositions when shooting in the vertical / portrait shape rather than just the horizontal / landscape shape; they also let you flip the screen back on itself for protection if the conditions become precarious. So you have to decide how you’re mostly going to use a camera. Finally, the Lumix Image app allows the G7 to inherit the fun Jump Snap feature introduced with the GF7. See Panasonic LUMIX G7 key features, specs, photos, release date, user reviews and compare it with similar cameras. Panasonic announces the LUMIX G7. 35mm means 3680×3680 = 7360 pixel long or 1x crop factor If you add a Speed Booster Ultra to the GH5s you get in DCI 4K a crop factor of 1,275x with 35mm lenses. This is then scaled-down to 3840×2160 and encoded as 4k UHD video. The 3:2 shape is a common choice for Micro Four Thirds screens, although if you’re shooting in the native 4:3 aspect ratio of the sensor, you won’t be filling the screen width-ways; instead images are displayed with thin black bars running vertically down either side. Above: 4K video quality with 7-14mm lens, 100% crops from Lumix G7 (left) and Lumix GH4 (right). The camera’s more customisable too with 11 custom function buttons (six physical and five soft versus five and two on the G6), and each of the G7’s function buttons can be configured from no less than 14 pages of options. Thanks in advance! The camera focuses quickly and confidently even if the AF area is dialed-down to its smallest size, and impressively in very low light too. In terms of controls, Panasonic has made quite a few changes on the Lumix G7 compared to the G6. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 is a mirrorless, 4K compact camera with an interchangeable lens system. Being able to quickly reposition the AF area by simply tapping is a boon and something I really miss on cameras without touch-screens. The Panorama option on the mode dial gives you the choice of Standard or Wide image sizes and the chance to pan the camera up, down, left or right. Even the 14-140mm zoom is compact at 75mm long, 65mm in diameter and 265g in weight, making it roughly similar in size and weight to Canon’s EF-S 18-55mm STM kit zoom, but with a 10x range rather than 3x. See my Canon EOS 760D / T6s review and Nikon D5500 review for more details. If you can get past the plasticky feel, you'll find that the 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor does a fine job capturing images, and an even better one when it comes to 4K video. I filmed some comparisons and measured the original crop for 4k on the G7 as around 4120×2318 pixels. It’s a key benefit over most DSLRs which currently don’t offer truly silent shooting options. On the GH4, the 4k modes simply took 3840×2160 or 4096×2160 crops (for UHD or Cinema 4k respectively) direct from the middle of the sensor and recorded them without scaling. Panasonic even lets you tap the screen to configure the AF area when you’re composing through the viewfinder, a job that’s easiest to do with the screen flipped-out to the side. At its widest, the lens vignette's very slightly in 4:3 photo mode due to the small image circle of the lens. Most mirrorless cameras feature an APS-C or full frame sensor, but the Lumix G9 gets a micro four thirds sensor. Note the smallest of the bunch remains the Sony with its particularly compact kit zoom, although in my tests I’ve found the Sony kit zoom to be the worst performer of its rivals, becoming quite soft in the corners. The G7 provides the same movie recording options as other G-series cameras, with a choice between AVCHD and MP4 formats, the latter being required for 4K movie recording, a new addition to this category. Menawarkan fleksibilitas recording yang sebenarnya, Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 Kit 14-42mm F/3.5-5.6 OIS adalah kamera mirrorless hybrid sejati yang memadukan video 4K UHD dengan kemampuan pengambilan gambar yang canggih serta kemampuan burst. May not be used without permission. Like all recent Lumix G cameras, the G7 employs a 16 Megapixel sensor (the same sensor as GX7, GM5 and GF7) and contrast-based AF system, enhanced by Panasonic’s DFD (depth-by-defocus) technology which aids continuous AF by profiling the out-of-focus characteristics of Panasonic lenses. Here’s an example I tagged of Brighton’s Royal Pavilion, using a GPS log made in my Galaxy S6. In short there’s little you can’t do with the touch-screen, although the wealth of physical controls provide a more traditional alternative if you prefer. Thanks! There’s also plenty of control over the way the camera processes images, including the chance to adjust tone curves, again taking it beyond most rivals at this price-point. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 ($799.99 with 14-42mm lens) is a premium camera wrapped in a plastic body and bundled with a starter zoom lens. In mirrorless terms, the flat-topped Sony A6000 is more compact at 120x67x45mm and lighter too at 344g with battery, although the G7 is still comfortably smaller and lighter than most DSLRs. If you can get past the plasticky feel, you'll find that the 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor does a fine job capturing images, and an even better one when it comes to 4K video. Sample movie filmed with the Panasonic Lumix GH4 in its 4k UHD / 25p mode.
