Product Details
Panasonic Lumix GH7 Mirrorless Camera
An Iconic Pro Camera
Get ready for raw with the latest Micro Four Thirds Lumix GH7 Mirrorless Camera from Panasonic, which now features ProRes RAW internal recording, 32-bit float recording with the optional DMW-XLR2 audio interface, Adobe Cloud Frame.io compatibility, versatile Open Gate framing, and real-time custom LUTs. This flagship update to the powerful GH6 retains all the valuable existing features, including the same compact form factor, a 25.2MP sensor, 5.7K30 Apple ProRes 422 HQ internal recording, improved AF performance, a 13+ stop dynamic range boost, and 5-axis stabilization to accommodate indie film, pro/consumer photography, documentary, or even as a B-camera in high-end productions.
Key GH7 Updates
- Newly equipped with Apple ProRes RAW internal recording and 32-bit float recording for dramatic enhancements in the speed and quality of video production
- 25.2MP BSI CMOS sensor with 13+ stop dynamic range boost with rich gradation for vibrant, detailed photos and videos
- There's no longer a need to adjust audio recording levels during shooting - with 32-bit float recording using the optional DMW-XLR2 adapter and internal recording of 5.7K 30p Apple ProRes 422 HQ and Apple ProRes RAW HQ
- Upload still images and proxy videos directly to the Adobe Cloud Frame.io platform.
- One shot for all social media platforms in all aspect ratios via Open Gate for superior resolution and heightened detail
- Improved AF performance with Phase Detection Autofocus by adding real-time recognition AF for Human/Animal/Car/Motorcycle/Train/Airplane
- Real-time custom LUTs to apply new color expressions
Flagship Imaging Platform
Redesigned from the ground up, this sensor improves upon its predecessors in the GH Series with new silicone and software. It has an improved 13+ stops of dynamic range boost despite its reduced cell size due to the increased number of pixels on the Micro Four Thirds sensor. Use a CFexpress Type B card to internally record 5.7K Apple ProRes 422 HQ and ProRes RAW HQ, or the SD slot can capture up to 10-bit 4K120p footage. The ability to record high bitrates and an unlimited recording time set this camera apart from any of its predecessors.
For maximum sharpness, the sensor is unhindered by a low-pass filter; it smooths out any moiré through intelligent detail processing from its updated Venus engine. Relying on its next-generation image stabilization, this camera synthesizes eight distinct images into a single 100MP image - all without requiring a tripod.
Lightning-Fast Sensor Readout
The Venus Engine has twice the power of previous generations, which enables 75 fps burst shooting or up to 240 fps variable frame rate (VFR) slow motion video footage. The Venus Engine's fast sensor readout limits the rolling shutter distortion to keep skyscrapers vertical when shooting from an automobile's action mount or to capture slow motion footage of quickly moving objects.
