How to Live Stream With Your Lumix G7 | What You Need to Get Started

[@AgentSephiroth]

Are you stupid? G7 isnt even listed on the software site as compatible. Come the fuck on

[@SeezSantos]

I literally just showed you in this video how I used my G7 with OBS and the Camlink 4K? I just updated to the latest version of OBS (28.0.2) and it works fine as well. It literally says on Elgato's website that the "Lumix DMC-G7" is compatible. (source: www.elgato.com/en/cam-link/camera-check) Max resolution 1080p60 Clean HDMI Yes Unlimited runtime Yes Connection type Micro HDMI Power Dummy Battery Verified by Manufacturer Note: This camera was reported as being compatible by the manufacturer. This has not been verified by Elgato. (Optional) DC Coupler DCC8 & AC Adaptor AC10 As for OBS Elgatos drivers they currently working with the newest version of (28.0.2) Unless you're referring to the Lumix Software of course it's not compatible I explained that in this video? 0:57 So what's going on with you 🤔

[@LegitCWalk]

It literally says on their website this camera works. wtf are you talking about

[@SeezSantos]

I also answered your concern here 😊kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKHSk5Rpa7d2p8U

[@pookinsp2324]

This "incompatibility" comment may be in reference to the Panasonic Cameras with USB that do have the capacity (and manufacturer's software) to go through USB directly to the computer (like a webcam) without the use of a capture card. Panasonic does not list the G7 as compatible on the software site.

[@SeezSantos]

Great point !

[@giovannigonzalez5248]

I love that you’re still making videos on the G7! I recently got one myself (as my first real camera I might add) and having these videos coming out so recently has been so refreshing and relieving to see! I really do appreciate them and please keep them coming!

Regarding capture cards 1:27, I have a Camlink 4k, which I know works. I also have a new hdmi cord that fits the lumix g7 (I forget if it’s micro or mini; either way, I know it works with it). But when I plug it into the Camlink and the Camlink into a computer, the computer recognizes the Camlink, but it’s like the Camlink doesn’t recognize the g7. Any advice?

[@dci-WatchTutorials]

Question about the G7 color profile as mentioned at 5:45, do these settings to improve the color, contrast, etc. apply only to the Camlink or would they be the same regardless of the capture card? I have a Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K. Thanks!

Great video! My only feedback is that when you are going through the settings to SLOW DOWN! If you go back and watch this video yourself again, paying close attention to how fast you go through pushing all the buttons on the screen it can be hard to keep up!..... Just sayin '

[@AnnaKalhammer]

Hi Seez, thanks for the video:-) I have a Lumix G7 and use it for live-streaming and simultaneously filming my yoga classes. My setup is as follows: I use the Lumix as my webcam through the cam link adapted to my MacBook pro. I use the rode wireless go for audio. I go to zoom and select Cam Link 4K as my video and audio. Additionally, I use a timer to automatically film over 30 minutes of videos. When I set the timer the Lumix starts filming and saving on my SD card and i can stream the same image and audio via Zoom. So far I'm happy with this setup. The only thing i don't like is that I can't use the autofocus setting for filming. It only works if i select the manual filming icon and manual focus. Do you have any idea why it is like that and any solution for me? Manually I haven't reached the same crisp and clear look than with filming on iA. Thank you very much for your help.

[@SeezSantos]

I have exactly this "sync" Problem that you mentioned at 07:05, how do I correct that? I also have a wired small noise on my headphones if I have the G7 running. Really Strange. I can figure out what the source of this noise is... any ideas? I really wanna simply to use the G7 as a Webcam, but it's a struggle atm to get everything running. I didn't expect that much of complications.

[@PeterRobieArt]

I was checking out the video in hopes of seeing if the manual focus would work. I'm sure it's a setting or something that I'm missing but when I try manual focus mode I get green outlines around objects. However, if I go to autofocus then I don't have this issue but the focus changes and I have to reset it by half pressing the button. Is there any way I can change this so I can use the manual focus? I have the 14mm kit lens and the G7 with HDMI.

[@arjune]

Nice video ! Do you know what will be the minimum laptop specs necessary to run OBS in the current market ? Do I need a dedicated GPU ?

[@SeezSantos]

It’s funny that you ask this because my laptop just died 😂 But for example the laptop pictured in and shown in this video is a 2014 Sony VAIO, it has a old 3rd gen i7 with intel graphics and a GeForce gt640m for encoding and live streaming in 30 fps @1080 p it will do just fine! As long as you have it properly configured in OBS and your not going to use it for any other reasons besides live streaming. But if you want something reliable to todays specs I’d suggest looking at what OBS recommends CPU: Intel i7 8700K, AMD Ryzen 1600X RAM: 8 GB OS: Windows 10 (64 bit) VIDEO CARD: GeForce 10 Series, Radeon 5000 Series, Intel Xe

[@arjune]

@@SeezSantos 😅 that's unfortunate . I am planning on buying i5-12th gen with integrated graphics card . hope this will be enough .

[@pookinsp2324]

I stream with an older I-5 10th gen (no dedicated gpu/ 128GB SSD) at 1080 60fps with a Camlink4k (even streamed at 4k/30fps). As long I have a strong upload speed (18-20) all is fine. I have also found that Streamlabs Desktop (formerly Streamlabs OBS) is a free and open-source streaming software that is based on a fork of OBS and, has a much better user interface. Streamlabs distributes their user's content over platforms such as Twitch, KZbin Live, and Facebook Live. You just need to be sure and select "performance mode" when using Streamlabs (much less confusing than OBS). Even my wimpy laptop get a beautiful stream out of my G7.

[@307WM]

This is a great video for anyone setting up their camera for a live stream! Nice work. I have some technical questions about my setup. I used a brand new Micro HDMI adapter (that is directly plugged into the camera) to a brand new HDMI cable that runs from the adapter to Elgato Cam Link. I don't have an AC adapter yet, either, just a standard battery. When I have the power ON, in Movie Mode, the display screen intermittently flickers on and off. My Elgato Cam Link is getting 'No Signal' from the camera. Do you think (A) the Micro HDMI adapter is incompatible / defective; or (B) am I not getting a signal because my battery is weak and I don't have it plugged into power with an AC adapter?

[@SeezSantos]

What brand is your micro to full size HDMI adapter?

[@SeezSantos]

Also have you tried to manually set the output resolution to match the settings on OBS

[@307WM]

@@SeezSantos Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! This is driving me insane. The Micro HDMI adapter is made by 'Watch Onn' and is probably garbage. I'm using Streamlabs, but regardless, my Elgato Camera Hub says it isn't even receiving a signal from my camera through the Cam Link. I can't feed anything to Streamlabs if I can't even get anything to show up on Elgato Camera Hub. I know my Cam Link works perfectly because I hooked a Canon Rebel T7 up to it earlier this week with no issues, but I had a direct Mini HDMI cable (no adapter) and a dummy battery. I feel like one of these two pieces of hardware are my issue.. thoughts?

[@SeezSantos]

No problem! It honestly sounds like one of the cables you have is not compatible-either the adapter or the HDMI cable. I'd manually change the “TV” settings in the g7 to eliminate the possibility of it being a camera issue. If that doesn't work, try getting another adapter! I use one made by “INSIGNIA.” I picked mine up from a local Best Buy.

[@mitchellbarlowmusic]

You ever fix this? Tried several different cables and got nothing

[@pookinsp2324]

On the Panasonic G7 could we leave the "TV connection" setting at "AUTO" and still stream 1080 (60fps or 30fps)? Do we have to change the TV connection setting to 1080? I frequently switch my camera setting depending on the type of activity that I'm streaming (even do 4k on occasion) . Thank you for such a clear explanation.

[@SeezSantos]

I’ve had issues at least with OBS on my PC’s where the camera isn’t recognized at least with my Camlink4k. But you can always try and see if it works for you!

[@SeezSantos]

You may also have a message display on the camera “af performance may be temporary I’ll degraded 4K to 1080p”

I've actually put this to the test, had mine on for 6 hours recording using OBS and there were no overheating issues at all. The only time I've ever had my camera shut off during a recording was taking it into a cold indoor environment to a humid outdoor environment. the camera has a sensor that will protect the camera from operating in that condition apparently.

[@SeezSantos]

Great question! I shoot all my content in Movie mode! Also, I was at iso 400 at f1.8. And a shutter speed of 1/60 since I was recording at 30fps.

And also configure the video settings in OBS. If I can get access to a Mac I might just make a video on doing this.

[@SeezSantos]

The G7 is definitely compatible with the Cam Link 4k. It’s listed as the “Lumix DMC-G7” if you check the pinned comment I have all the sources mentioning the information for it. As for the software OBS can be a bit tricky on Mac to run.l but it’s possibly. Also Mac your your using a USB 3.1 port and not a slower usb 2.0 port.

Man, idk if I’m doing something wrong but do you absolutely need the capture card? I connect my g7 to my MacBook Pro using the hdmi port and it doesn’t pop up when I go to “video capture device” in sources

[@SeezSantos]

Are you connecting your G7 to your mac book using the HDMI port on your mac? From my understanding, there is no mac book pro that has an internal capture device. The HDMI port on most if not all laptops are for external monitors. So yes you will indeed need a capture card.

[@deolly]

@@SeezSantos Yeah that's what I'm doing. I didn't know that so thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to respond

[@willdepenning]

[@BadKarma714]

I have a lumix G7 I also got a cheap Capture card and I got the dummy battery would that work also if you ever in Garden Grove California maybe we can do a video together? I swear for a minute I actually thought you were the guy who played McLovin And I’m not trying to make a joke either and just for that fact that’s why I subscribed to your channel like I said if you’re ever in the area and would like to do a super bad scene I’m down I could do Jonah Hill lol

[@SeezSantos]

Check me out playing the part here 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWK8iZWVe9BnopIm27s Hit me up on IG I’d be down to collab when I’m in the area 😅 I also have another clausure card! The only issue with the cheap alternatives is the color reproduction. The color comes out funny looking.

I tried connecting my G7 using the cam link for Zoom and it's not getting any signal. I changed the setting of the camera per your video but I still have the same results. I tried it on my Mac and Windows. On the Mac it gets the message that there is no signal with the Elgato logo. On Windows, it's similar but with a fuzzy image. I tried to install OBS for the Mac and not getting anywhere on it. I just need to get it to work on Zoom. What am I missing here? I appreciate any suggestions.

[@MVPxPro1]

Same …… have you figured it out ? Cause I don’t want to change camera

[@4emproduction]

@@MVPxPro1 yes. there is a firmware upgrade that you need to download and install.

[@MVPxPro1]

@@4emproduction any help ?

[@marleylovesfilm]

How do you disable the audio? The hdmi will capture the audio from camera

[@SeezSantos]

You have to do that in OBS

[@marleylovesfilm]

@@SeezSantos i figured it out thank you ❤

[@samuellokeshchintala5446]

helo bro , im from india i broght this camera 3 months bac now i byed a hdmi a to hdmi d cable from amazon basics brand , is it mandatory to connect all this addons

[@SeezSantos]

Yes! If you need to do any screen recording or in this case live streaming.

[@samuellokeshchintala5446]

TQ broh

[@the_rita_]

Are you guys getting "TV Output In Progress"? The computer is not detecting my camera.

[@josema133]

🙋🏻‍♂️🇪🇦 Muy útil. Gracias. 👍🏻👏👏

[@nucleusclothing]

Can you livestream without an sd card in?

[@SeezSantos]

Yes! The only reason to have an SD card in is to record.

[@Axtion615]

Will the G7 go to sleep during stream because record is not pressed?

[@SeezSantos]

If your recording to the camera itself the hdmi output will showcase a black screen. So if you want to use the hdmi out for streaming you need to record externally using OBS.

[@SeezSantos]

The G85/95/100 will allow you to record internally but may have limitations on time while outputting via HDMI at the same time.

[@SeezSantos]

💡Are you live streaming using a Panasonic camera?

[@KenMFT]

Dont do 4k, most people cant even see 4k on phones or on their pcs

[@codyrap95]

Streaming via USB IS NOT POSSIBLE. Panasonic webcam software does not support the G7 so please get your facts straight

[@SeezSantos]

See pinned comment. I also mention this in the video 🤷‍♀️
