The Lumix GH7 offers outstanding video performance, a wide dynamic range with its 25MP BSI CMOS sensor, and enhanced autofocus capabilities with phase detection. To improve the workflow required in professional productions, the GH7 is equipped with internal Apple ProRes RAW recording and the world's first 32-bit float recording, eliminating the need to adjust audio recording levels during capture. In addition to improved image quality, the GH7 provides an optimized workflow from recording to post-production. This is achieved through the innovative Lumix Real Time Lut function, proxy recording, and Adobe's Frame.io support, as well as Open-Gate recording for flexible framing for any social media platform.
Image Quality: 25MP BSI sensor with fast response and over 13 stops of dynamic range. High-Speed Autofocus: Phase detection with high precision detection and tracking. Image Stabilization: 5-axis Dual I.S. including perspective distortion correction for videos and high mode in Active I.S. for powerful compensation during handheld shooting. Advanced Audio: The world's first 32-bit float recording, where audio recording levels no longer need to be adjusted during capture (with optional DMW-XLR2). Comfort: Robust design, tiltable monitor, unlimited recording time.
