Get ready for the latest offering from Panasonic with the Panasonic Lumix GH7 Mirrorless Camera. This Micro Four Thirds camera includes some impressive features such as ProRes RAW internal recording, 32-bit float recording with the optional DMW-XLR2 audio interface, compatibility with Adobe Cloud Frame.io, versatile Open Gate framing, and real-time custom LUTs. Despite these new additions, the GH7 retains the compact form factor and 25.2MP sensor of its predecessor, the GH6. It also continues to offer 5.7K30 Apple ProRes 422 HQ internal recording, improved AF performance, a 13+ stop dynamic range boost, and 5-axis stabilization. Whether you're involved in indie film, professional or consumer photography, documentary making, or high-end productions, the GH7 is designed to meet your needs.

The GH7 showcases a redesigned sensor that outperforms previous models in the GH Series. The new silicone and software contribute to an improved 13+ stops of dynamic range boost, despite the reduced cell size resulting from the increased number of pixels on the Micro Four Thirds sensor. The camera supports internal recording of 5.7K Apple ProRes 422 HQ and ProRes RAW HQ using a CFexpress Type B card, while the SD slot allows for capture of up to 10-bit 4K120p footage. With high bitrates and unlimited recording time, the GH7 sets itself apart from its predecessors.

In order to maximize sharpness, the GH7 omits a low-pass filter and uses intelligent detail processing from its updated Venus engine to eliminate moiré. Additionally, it incorporates next-generation image stabilization technology, which combines eight distinct images into a single 100MP image without the need for a tripod.

The Venus Engine of the GH7 boasts twice the power of previous generations, enabling burst shooting at 75 fps or variable frame rate (VFR) slow motion video footage of up to 240 fps. The fast sensor readout of the Venus Engine minimizes rolling shutter distortion, keeping vertical lines intact when shooting from a moving vehicle or capturing slow motion footage of fast-moving subjects.
