Panasonic G7 Walkthrough

[@steve4168]

i bought this camera as a starter and could not find a simple video to explain functions until this video. Thank you so much for simple learning so helpful i give it 11 out of 10.

[@mariacardoso4324]

Fantastic walkthrough. Simple, clear and precise. Avoided the daunting hassle of reading the manual. Well done.

[@2nywa2]

I'm a total newbie and absolutely overwhelmed by all the cool things this camera can do. I am learning a lot from this video. Thank you!

[@francoindien]

Hey hi, I am planning to buy this camera and I would like to know if you recommend this to someone like me who wants to do dance videos and photos. Thanks in advance 🙏

[@Shutterbug101]

Rather than the G7, I would get the G95.

[@tobyholt102]

I just got a LUMIX DMC-G7K. This is by far and away one of the most informative videos out there. When I unboxed it and looked at ALL the buttons, dials, symbols and settings, I thought wTf ?!! Your video really made this camera simple to understand. I started shooting photos waaaay back in the sixties with a 35mm Cannon. You explained all the bells and whistles in a clear, concise and understandable video. Thank you very much for such a great video. Just what I looking for !! I'm off to check out your other videos !!

[@darrenawood5001]

The most intuitive video on KZbin RE: The Lumix G7 - many many thank you's

[@BMooreTraining]

By far the most helpful video for beginners.

[@Mondaybomb]

finally an actual in depth video that doesn't rush or cut corners! Thank You!

[@AntaneseTooREAL]

Literally just go this camera last week and girrrlllllll God bless you. I’ve watched a million videos and this by far has been so helpful. I got the camera from a pawnshop and it didn’t come with directions. 😂 thanks so much and I’m a new sub. ❤

[@Sp-1200BoomBap]

Panasonic Lumix "Legendary"G7 🔥💪🧡🤝.

[@Permian777]

Many thanks. I've owned this camera for nearly three years and barely knew how to operate it. Thanks to your tutelage, I now possess a greater understanding of the complexities of this complex device.

[@randydontworry5512]

This is easily the best video I've seen explaining all you need to know about using this camera, EXCELLENT!

[@FarynSand]

Thank you! I had to share this hilarity with anyone reading... I just started learning this camera and it's the first one of its kind I've ever owned, and not only did this video help me understand all the overwhelming buttons, but perhaps the biggest revelation for me was that the camera screen flips around and folds over so that it lays flat on the camera -- the whole time I was experimenting with the camera for the first time I kept thinking, why did they make the screen stick out from the camera like this 🤣🤣🤣 I'm laughing out loud at myself. Thank you for the revelation!

[@patricewilliams1776]

Thank you so much. I just got this camera for Christmas my husband got me. It was so frustrating trying to figure out how to use this thing whew so helpful❤️❤️❤️

[@mariannekirchner8979]

This was so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to go over the camera, the manual just doesn't do it.

[@andyherrera7655]

I don't think this could've been done better, what a fantastic job you've done here. Gave me a real feel for the camera and helped me make a purchase decision. Thank you so much!

[@ishmailnassardeen9493]

You ROCK. You are a wonderful teacher. Very clear, easy to follow. Greatly appreciated.

[@davelane5725]

Thanks so much for the Lumix G-7 video. Very helpful and informative. I was so frustrated that I almost gave up on the camera. Went to the store where I bought it and they didn't help at all. Keep up the good work.

[@everyonesalama4447]

Thank you so much, finally understand this camera! Enough to take a decent photo anyway. Appreciated 👍

[@lesliemoss9759]

Thank you for the thorough explanation of the camera. Your video helped me understand so much more about it.

[@jackoverfield796]

Getting a G7 in a few days. Thanks for the clear instruction!

[@rirrian]

I just got my camera and I am absolutely clueless and this video helped me out so much thank you!! I thought I Broke my camera bc I couldn’t use the viewfinder but turns out I just had to press the “Fn5” button 😅 😅

[@mkn.567]

This is really good and straight to the point. I'm actually an old school nikon fm10 manual camera user and this is my second micro 4/3 camera, my first being the epl-5. I have to say i was fairly overwhelmed by all the buttons and menus and submenus on the epl-5. With the G7 and especially after this video, I really feel like I completely understand this camera, like really. I think I could tutor someone else, that's how confident I am now. It's almost like this video helped contextualize all the other reading I'd done in manuals for the epl-5 and the g7. Everything just clicked.

[@caseyarnoldh]

Thank you. Just bought my first camera and your video was very helpful.

[@Luffylosophe]

just bought a Lumix G7 for my youtube channel, thank you for this video !

[@KelsaysShenanigans]

Dang! This video was great! I'm just starting my channel and trying to elevate my video quality, so I purchased a Panasonic Lumix G7. This tutorial was so helpful. Such a great camera for the price point. Look forward to using your advice and putting better quality content to my viewers.

[@pojocloud5132]

Great video, I just purchased the Panasonic G7 and it's my first professional camera. I was very intimidated by it at first but your video has made me much more confident in using it. Thanks!

[@ScrappyMim]

Thank you for taking the time to do this video!! By far the best walk through I've viewed. HUGE help to understanding my new camera.

This is a great video. I was a little intimidated about learning all the buttons and such on this camera but you made it so easy!

[@hockinghillsalive3624]

It's really super of you to put such a detailed and helpful guide together for all of us. THANK YOU!!

[@hiway_diva2334]

[@elinewz]

You sat me down and taught me, Thanks

[@shanevader4123]

Wow! Hi Heather, this was awesome! I recently bought a Lumix G7. I am a beginner to all things photography. I signed up for a course in photography and have been looking at other KZbin videos about the G7 and photography in general but have been having trouble following along because I just didn't understand my camera. You explain things thoroughly and now I understand much more about the camera and how to get to the functions as well as what they mean. Now to work on how to properly use the functions. I'll be looking for more of your video. :)

[@yanetros378]

Thank you for the awesome and informative walk thru. I just ordered one, hoping we can make it to our Cali trip. So excited. Can't wait to play with it! Thank you!!

[@Lexlee_]

This was so very helpful thank you so much!

[@phyziks09]

Hey, great video -- I just bought this camera (it's my first real camera to own) and this was a lot better than having to go through some paper manual

[@francoindien]

Hey hi, I am planning to buy this camera and I want to ask you if you would recommend this to someone like me who wants a first camera to make dance videos, mostly inside for KZbin etc. And also to take photos. How does the battery and autofocus work? Thanks in advance 🙏

[@shannamiller1464]

Even though I was in "P" mode and followed along with you, some options (flash and menu options) were not the same...even after the factory reset. Not sure why, but it was an incredible tutorial nonetheless!! THANK YOU

[@matthewbrooks66]

Comprehensive and clear, many thanks

[@joeframo3347]

I really thank you I feel I learned quite a bit by you showing me my camera and understanding it more you are very helpful thank you so much 💕👍💕

Thank you this is wonderful! 🙂 Extremely helpful! I wish you had an Amazon link so you could get credit for my purchase. Your video will be the reason i buy this camera.

[@ipbsoft]

Thanks for the video. Very well explained. Love it

[@LilDrakula13]

Thanks so much. I was so fkn pissed because i couldn't figure the camera out. Its my first cam and i was hella lost. Thanks alot 🤠

[@karinaflorenciani412]

This video was so helpful, thank you so much. Would you be willing to share your suggestion on best settings for a 4K quality video for a G7 LUMIX Camera to produce those cinematic shots.

[@Shutterbug101]

For 4K video, I would shoot at the highest option which is 30p. This will give you a cinematic look but also keep in mind because it’s only 30 frames, you will need to move your camera slowly and smoothly as to not miss any frames in between movements.

[@karinaflorenciani412]

Shutterbug 101 I will try that out , thank you!

[@mariocampanaro3637]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you!

[@andygarrett4014]

Thanks for this really useful information, I really liked it, and wondered how it was done. I do however have some comments to make. I currently have the following counts. PWRCNT 218 SHTCNT 1678 STBCNT 8 I have not long had my camera and I have 218 in the PWRCNT. The very fist day I had it I turned on Electronic shutter only, before I had even take a shot but still have 1678 so I think it records all shutter actuations both electronic and mechanical. Finally the STBCNT can not be strobe as I have never fired it and still have a count of 8. I belive STBCNT stands for STandBy CouNT which makes more sense to me. I hope this helps. Once again thanks for taking the time to share this information.

i got this camera for christmas, just needed to see how it worked.

[@baddodge]

I agree best information on the Web about this camera

[@TheThankfulServant]

Thank you so much, very well explained.

[@HollywoodConnection-jast]

Does the G7 have an auto-iris control? I own a G7 and have constantly adjusted the Fstop and shutter when shooting run and gun outdoors. Thanks for any feedback

[@Shutterbug101]

If you set your camera to S for shutter speed, you can focus on controlling how fast you want to take the photo while the camera decides on the aperture.

[@HollywoodConnection-jast]

@@Shutterbug101 I was referring to video, sorry I wasnt clear.

[@Shutterbug101]

This rule still applies to video :) just on a more restrictive scale depending on your frame rate

[@HollywoodConnection-jast]

@@Shutterbug101 ok thanks, I'll experiment. Much appreciated.

[@dianahedges445]

Very nice gadget, not cheap too 😊 very helpful video

[@colombianaenoklahoma]

Love your video but I need to get back green lines when I am taking a picture or a video that tell me that my picture or video are kind of balance. I also would like to know how I can see the full image on the screen. My camera was doing that but someone accidentally played with the settings.

[@Shutterbug101]

To get the balance bars back, just hit the DISP. button until they show up on the shooting screen. When it comes to seeing the full image in playback mode, you will hit that same button. :)

[@OUTBOUND184]

This video is appreciated, thanks!

[@brandonk.r.blackman1601]

Awesome vid. Some of your options in your Quick Menu aren'r showing up for mine. Is there a way for me to add the shortcuts to the quick menu?

[@Shutterbug101]

Yes, if you go to menu>wrench C tab>Q.Menu>and change how you see fit!

[@gaminggalandthegeek120]

Hello Ms Shutterbug, great video! You mentioned you would be doing a detailed video on AFS/AFF AFC , have you done that yet ? Specifically I am interested in learning how to use these different settings and when is the best time to use them while shooting video. Also, how does the AF/AE lock button work? ....Also I’m confused, because in settings I have Continuous AF on, but when I go to shoot video, the display mode screen has a readout that says AF off with an icon of a finger touching a square bullseye . FYI; I have the button on the outside of the camera selected to AFS/AFF. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated !

[@kcarwen5262]

Shutterbug, I agree if we could get a video of you explaining the different modes and settings for Auto focus while in video mode would be great. Also what is the Lock button used for ? That would be awesome. I like your style, you explain things well :-)

[@Shutterbug101]

Hi there viewers! Thank you for watching. Here is the link for the focus modes and areas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpLNd2SPh8t0aNU When it comes to the AF/AE lock button, that allows you to lock in the lighting that you want in a specific area, like a backlit subject or making the subject a silhouette. More about metering in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jovcfGqPpZWKptE As for your video focus, you will want to set your switch to AFC, and if you have your focusing mode on tracking, it wants you to touch the screen where you want it to track in the frame to lock the focus. Hope this helps!

[@KirkSmith]

this was very helpful! thank you!

[@Franchyze923]

very helpful! thank you

[@eh5296]

Hey did you ever make the G7 manual mode walkthroughs? I cant find them on your channel.

[@leemartin9156]

This is so helpful! I'll have to watch a few times, but that is me - slow to memorize until actually using/doing and see how it comes out. I got this to try getting pics of birds n squirrels in yard. I would love to get night shots of owls if possible, but have no idea how to do any yet. Really excited to experiment. Thank you for teaching an old lady new tricks. The store had me buy a SanDisk Extreme plus SDXC UHS-1 128G memory level 3. Is this ok for video of birds/critters on the move? TY again. Peace🎇🌠🌄🦉🦅🦋

[@Shutterbug101]

That should be a great card to handle the buffering using continuous shooting for animals! Sounds like they got you set up to start successfully! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@leemartin9156]

@@Shutterbug101 Thank you! I am so looking forward to using it. I had a young skunk waddling thru my yard last night and I wished I had been able to experiment with him but my car scared him off. Thank you for your offer. I hope to take you up on it soon 😃 Happy Spring from Maine.

[@carolvandoorn6137]

I received this camera as a gift, but am hoping to be able to photograph birds from quite a distance. The included lens doesn’t zoom very far. Are there other ways to increase zoom? If not, what other lens would enable more zoom?? Thanks for this great video; it was very helpful!

[@HungryOliviaASMR]

Hello, I use lumix g7 too and I have problem with their brightness. Everytime I shoot dark/black object, the background become very very bright. How do I fix this? Thank you😄

[@Shutterbug101]

This happens due to metering. You can help correct this by adjusting your exposure, the button with the +/- and making it a negative number to make it darker. Here is some more information about metering! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jovcfGqPpZWKptE

[@laazzyy]

Thank you!! Great content

[@susanroberts4116]

Great video. Thank you!

[@maryanncunanan6213]

Hi. Thank you for this. So informative. Can I ask how can I take photos with not much blur.

[@Shutterbug101]

Great question! If your photos are blurry, you need the camera to take a faster photo! This is where your shutter speed mode can help! Use the S mode and use the minimum 1/500 to however fast it can go (I think 1/4000 or 1/8000). The higher the number the faster the photo, so it will depend on how fast you or your subject is moving. I would set your ISO to auto until you can master your shutter speed and aperture. :)

[@Drforce2311]

This video is so good.

[@livinginbabcockranchflorida]

great video! so informative. what settings would you use for filming green screen videos?

[@Shutterbug101]

John Garuti, Realtor I would be sure to have a good lighting setup and take advantage of your aperture video mode and open it up enough to let the light in, but not too much to where it is overblown, around the f/2.8-3.5 Mark. Set your ISO between 100 and 800 on auto and you should be good to go!

[@tracyluke3629]

Wow. This was so well done. I learned a lot. I still have what looks like parentheses on the lcd screen. What is that and how do I get rid of it? Thanks.

[@Shutterbug101]

Ah I believe that’s the level, hit the DISP. button on the back of the camera until your happy with the display. That should give you a basic option with no level!

Un gran video!!! Una pregunta, la pantalla entra en modo hibernación a los pocos minutos, y la opción de "ahorro" me aparece desactivada, tendrías alguna solución para esto? Gracias por adelantado

[@Shutterbug101]

Consulte la configuración de visualización de su monitor o la configuración económica en el menú debajo de la pestaña de llave inglesa, página dos. Es posible que pueda decirle que no use el modo de suspensión o que aumente el tiempo antes de que lo haga.

[@JeffBourke]

QUESTION: The AE/AF LOCK button on my G7 has NO PHYSICAL FEEL. There is no click like every single other button on the camera. Is this normal or do you think the button is broken?

[@Shutterbug101]

Is the button moving in and out when you push it? There shouldn’t be a click, but you should feel it move.

[@victorcastrojr.1252]

I love your videos thank you

[@nikonbilly]

I have a G7 and it came with a remote charger???? you just said you can charge the battery inside the camera???? Please explain.....thanks

[@Shutterbug101]

Yes, it does come with an external charger. However, you can ALSO charge through the body via micro USB cable, which is also used to update firmware and transferring photos from camera to computer without a card reader.

[@nikonbilly]

@@Shutterbug101 I just read the owner's manual and the Basic owner's manual and both indicate only taking the battery out and charging it in the external charger. why is there NO light indicating charging on the camera? if you plug the transfer USB cord into the camera the back screen indicates PIC bridge or computer transfer only???? Why is there NO reference to this option?

[@Shutterbug101]

Oh gosh. SMH, I made a terrible mistake. Looking back at my video, I should have known better that the AV port does not allow you to charge the battery in camera. This model, unfortunately, is one of the only Panasonic models that is sold today that does not offer in body charging. I apologize for the misinformation, and will not the mistake in the details of the video. Thank you for catching that! I am only human after all.

[@nikonbilly]

@@Shutterbug101 Actually I was not really questioning anything about you. I just wanted to know, as sometimes it's easier just to plug in and charge with out having to use the external charger. Thanks

[@peasantfarmer3030]

Is A mode a kind of digital aperture? When I've got mine on A it's not moving the lens' aperture.

[@Shutterbug101]

A is definitely just a regular aperture mode. Have you tried using both of the adjustment dials? One will do the speed on the S mode, the other will be the aperture in the A mode.

[@antbrooks1625]

Excellent video!
