- General
- Brand: Panasonic
- Model Number: DC-GH7BODY
- Product Name: LUMIX GH7 Micro 4/3 Mirrorless Camera
- Color: Black
- Camera Model Family: Panasonic Lumix G
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm)
- Total Pixels: 25.2 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 5776x4336 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: 3x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW, MOV, MP4 (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Number of Autofocus Points (Up To): 779
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: (Max. 30 minutes), 1/8,000 - 60 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 25600 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Brightness Control: false (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Burst Rate: 14 frames per second
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 2 seconds, 10 seconds
- Shooting Modes: Program AE (P) / Aperture Priority AE (A) / Shutter Priority AE (S) / Manual Exposure (M) / Creative Video (P/A/S/M)* / Custom 1, 2, 3, 4 / Intelligent Auto *The same exposure operations as P/A/S/M mode is available. (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: false
- White Balance Modes: AWB / AWBc / AWBw / Daylight / Cloudy / Shade / Incandescent / Flash / White Set 1, 2, 3, 4 / Color temperature setting 1, 2, 3, 4 (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)

- Display
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 6K (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): HFR 4:2:0 10-bit 4K 120p (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 240 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)

A camera to grow into
When deciding on a platform around 2015, I noticed a lot of posts that said something like "I took this photo on my iphone because I didn't want to carry my big DSLR and heavy lenses on the trail... ) Welp... figured Nat Geo is not going to call me and a camera I found easy to carry all day is far more useful than one you don't... so never looked back. I've owned the GH3, GH4 and now GH7 and the improvements in each generation are exponential. Arguably this is most professional video capable of the non-professional class of DSLR style cameras out there that you can carry all day. Still photos you probably will find very little to complain about. Much better low light capability than my older GH4. I still use either the superb Oly 7-14 f2.8 pro or my "walk about" Panny 14-140 f3.5-5.6. I have an old Canon FD lens for macro work I bought on ebay for $75. Anything else, I rent as needed, which is not often. Weaknesses: Lenses and low light capabilities are still better on the larger format cameras, however, it's a lot smaller gap than it was even 4 years ago. This is overkill IMO for noobs. Having said that, I flip it into program and everything auto and my noob wife can shoot a family occasion without my help. Plus we can put my lenses on her GH4 and also use the same batteries. I still can use lenses I bought in 2016. I can swap batteries with the GH4 (although the more power hungry features like ProRes won't work) I can still use 35mm film lenses like a 35mm Nikkor F2 from 1980. It's not too taxing to carry all day (use a bino buddy, not a camera strap) Some things to know: If shooting maximum resolution a 1TB CFexpress B card willl only last an hour. Also high resolution modes will drain your battery, so buy spares. I strongly suggest you take it out and learn it before buying any accessories. For example, the ProRes codec is not supported by a lot of video editing tools and you may find it better to work in lower (but excellent) resolutions, perhaps not needing such an expensive storage card. You should really figure out your proposed work flow if you are serious amateur, as the capabilities of this camera can drain your wallet quickly. But once committed, you will have better hardware than the pros did even five years ago. This will also record 32-bit floating audio, catch is you need to buy the ($$) module that sits in the flash accessory hot shoe. Resolution: 4K (3840×2160) General purpose, YouTube, family videos Plenty of detail without huge file sizes Frame Rate: 24p or 30p Cinematic (24p) or smooth (30p) 60p for sports or fast motion Codec: HEVC (H.265) 10-bit 4:2:0 Best balance of quality and file size Great color for grading, low storage load Bitrate: 100–200 Mbps (Long GOP) Good quality, easy to edit Avoids excessive file sizes Recording Mode: Long GOP (NOT All-Intra) Smaller files, good for beginners All-Intra is for pro editing workflows

Once and always an MFT owner!
I'm an Olympus photographer since 1970 when I used the film Olympus camera and kept moving on to the mirrorless, was gratefully satisfied until the Lumix GH7 went on sale, this totally changed my perspective towards MFT because this is way better than my previous Olympus in terms of handling, features/specifications and image quality, the 24 megapixels upgrade from the long awaited 20 megapixels is enough to keep me stucked with MFT. I'll be with MFT as one satisfied camera owner.

Awesome Camera
I am still learning this camera. I know that this is beyond my photography skills. However, I like the few optional function bottoms on camera.
