4K Video and 4K Photo — Capture the Perfect Moment

Special moments you want to remember can occur at any time and should be captured in the best resolution possible. Now Panasonic's 4K technology is available for everyone. With the introduction of the new LUMIX G7, you will be able to record video in 4K (up to QFHD: 3840 x 2160 pixels, 25 fps, 100Mbit/s).

With the 4K Photo feature, you can also extract the perfect frame out of a 4K video (30 frames per second) sequence easily on the camera and save it as an 8 megapixel still image.

The hybrid LUMIX G7 unleashes your creativity for both video and photo.

Focus on the Moment

Be ready to grab the next sudden shutter opportunity. Adding Depth From Defocus (DFD) Auto Focus (AF) technology* to Contrast AF has achieved both higher precision and greater speed at approximately 0,07 seconds**. This combines with approximately 200% AF Tracking performance***, 8 frames per second burst shooting in full resolution, and UHS-II SDXC Memory Card compatibility to turn those once-in-a-lifetime moments into memories that last forever.

* 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 stylish, sophisticated body and a snug, hand-fitting grip, it also provides an intuitive level of operation. The Live View Finder (LVF) helps you frame your images even under bright sunlight conditions, and the body design lets you freely customise settings. The front/rear dials control the main aperture and shutter speed settings, while easily switching to handle temporary WB and ISO adjustments. Settings can also be assigned to six function buttons.* In addition, the 4K Photo mode can quickly be active by using the 4K Photo feature on the drive mode dial.

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

4K Video — More Details Than Full HD

Whether you are watching movies or editing videos, 4K delivers a far more intense viewing experience than you have seen before. Its native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels is four times larger than Full HD, resulting in a much higher level of detail. Even if you export your footage filmed in 4K to a Full HD TV, the video files will have even better definition and crisper details than those filmed in Full HD.

・When recording videos in 4K, use a card rated as UHS Speed Class 3.

4K Photo — Capture the Perfect Moment

Using the high resolution of 4K, Panasonic LUMIX G7 camera introduces the new 4K Photo function which allows you to extract individual frames from a video sequence (filmed at 30 frames per second) to capture those magical moments that only occur at a split second. With 4K Photo you can always be assured that you have the freedom to decide on your very own 'perfect moment'.

4K Photo Modes – Free Your Creativity

The 4K Photo function can be used in three different modes, all of them allowing you to capture that perfect moment at a high burst rate of 30 frames per second:

4K Burst

The camera keeps on shooting 8 megapixel images at ultra-high burst rate as long as the shutter button is pressed.

4K Burst S/S (Start/Stop)

This function is the standard 4K Photo function where you are able to record a 4K movie to extract any frame as an 8 megapixel image later.

4K Pre-Burst

The camera starts recording a 4K sequence with '4K Pre-Burst' mode, even one second before/after you press the shutter button. This allows you to capture all of those unpredictable moments and choose your favourites.

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 which instantly calculates the distance between 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 system of AF Tracking, not only the colour but also the size and motion vector of the subject are recognised, 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*.

Focusing in Low Light Conditions — Star Light AF

Low Light AF makes it possible to focus subjects more precisely in -4EV low-light situations, with no other light source.
The LUMIX G7 also 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.

High Image Quality
Even in Low Light Conditions

The 16 megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor in combination with the Venus Engine captures both high quality images and high speed signal processing. The superior noise reduction system enables crisp images even in low-light conditions up to ISO 25,600.
The Venus Engine also excels in diffraction compensation to make images crisp and clear even when shooting with a small aperture.

Perfect Sight and Framing

The LUMIX G7 comes with a high-resolution (2,360k-dot) OLED Live View Finder which allows high visibility thanks to a 10,000:1 contrast and perfect framing even under direct sunlight conditions. Also with all your settings displayed right in front of your eye, your pictures will always come out exactly how you want them to.
A rear monitor also features higher visibility even for sunny outdoor shooting. And, the tilt/swivel touch-display gives you the freedom to find unusual perspectives while maintaining easy operation and full image control.
