@@ArberBaqaj On the S5IIx with a Sigma 24-70 F2.8 DG DN you can assign the AFL button on the lens to "Focus Stop" which will pause autofocus while you are holding down the button. I use it exactly for the situation you describe. I haven't found a way to assign "Focus Stop" to any button on the camera.
The idea to have an focus lock function that can be assigned to a button is great. I think it should work like AE-lock as long as you press the button. Are you sure the 32 bit works with the 3.5 mic input? I have heard in another video that it only works for XLR.
I am trying to figure out how I can rig this exact camera to work like a camcorder style, eng/b4 lense, with smooth zoom in out remote like lanc 😂, basically on a tripod, for main event livestream camera on a budget.
You doing a exzellent job, which camera did you use for this video? I bought this great Cam with reliable Autofocus, it's unbelievable but they did it, autofocus on a GH Cam that you can count on. I am using the Sigma 18-35 Art on the Metabones Speedboster Ultra with Firmware 4.1 and it focuses like a native Leica lens, with a little bit of noice 😏.
Why not float audio internally without that humongous adapter? How can I edit Apple ProRes RAW with Davinci Resolve? Also, GH7 will not ship until AUGUST!
You can edit ProRes Raw with Resolve if you convert it to Cinema DNG with Assimilate Pro, or other similar apps. The results are great, but it's an extra step. You'll find explainer videos on RUclips.
@@jimgiraffe5253 Nope. B&H says Est. Ship Date: Wed Jul 24. Adorama: Manufacturer will start shipping this item on 07/15/2024. For Europe and rest of the world it's suggested August.
@@GrenlandUnderVann I dunno what you mean, I've been grading ProRes Raw via CDNG in Resolve using this method for 2 years, it's already happening. No way Blackmagic are going to support Prores Raw in Resolve, it's in pretty direct competition with BRAW. Nothing Panasonic or any other manufacturer can do to change that. The fact that the G7 records PR Raw *internally* is a HUGE step forward (if you know about RED'S stranglehold on the patent). I doubt Blackmagic will ever allow other companies to record BRAW internally as it's a major selling point of their cameras.
@@ArberBaqaj Oooooooooh, your offending Nikon fanboys. Don’t let Nikon You Tubers like Vahagraphy or FramesTM hear you. The claim Nikon cameras are great for video. Problem is that Nikon fanboys are 100% stills shooter and even some video in Nikon they think it is the best ever. The RUclips channel Greys of Westminster asked me why I don’t buy a video camera instead of complaining that Nikon does not take video seriously. I asked which video camera do you mean? A camcorders used by ENG? Till today I did not receive any answer. Nikon and their users are clueless of video. Good that they buy RED.This mean they wants to take video seriously.
@ArberBaqaj i know a whole lot of professionals that are shooting on the Z9 for video. There's A. Lot of people that pick that up specifically for the video.
On my Panasonic GH5 II I have open gate 5k 30fps. I was expecting 5k-5.7k 60fps, but of course, yet again, we are being dripfed small incremental updates...
Pan and tilt are not consistent when shooting handheld. The stebilization looks great but the camera does not lend itself to the user when panning and tilting.
this was a good review, I watched your GH6 videos way back before i got the GH6 and i would trust your recommendation because your a GH6 user and not just a youtube talking head who dont use GH6 or 5.. so this make more sense.
The GH7 is what the GH6 should have been. The PDAF is what all lumix users want and it's now here. The GH7 i think will fade into the background in a few months. The price being 2k for just the body will mean most lumix users won't rush to get it. Also the CFexpress cards will mean the camera will be cost more in the long run. Lumix releasing 6 cameras in 3 years is great for new gear junkies but for those who have the G9ii or the S5ii/x the GH7 will be a camera that they don't have any reason to get
@@ArberBaqaj having internal raw isn't a big thing for me. I have the Atomos NV witch shoots prores. Personally I think prores has been pushed by RUclipsrs. It's an over hype thing that isn't really needed. The files are bigger so would need a big memory card. Never heard of a wedding Videographer shooting a full wedding in prores. Watching a movie never heard anyone said oh the movie is amaizng because it's shot in prores. It was like when RUclipsrs went on about b roll. Everyone who had a camera then did b roll. Personally wouldn't need prores raw
Yeah internal BRAW would be awesome. I dare say that a good percentage of Lumix shooters use DR as their NLE of choice! If only Panny could work with BD as hey did with Arri...Then again perhaps they tried and BD turned them(and others) down
I wouldn’t say image quality is worse just a bit less dynamic range and not as shallow DOF. All my favourite movies have deep depth of field so I don’t care.
Well duh...It's not a limitation if it's inherent and widely known. I hate when people "point" that out. In a car review, You wouldn't say the only limitation of a Porsche 911 is that it doesn't have the utility of a minivan!!!
@@colinthomas2525 Go look at DXO Mark and you won't find a M43 sensor anywhere close to the top 100 sensors. Compare even an older camera like the a7r III to the GH5 II and it's a slaughter. The FF Sony has way more color depth, nearly two more stops of DR and low light is not even in the same stratosphere. It's really not even close. Pretty much any FF sensor is far superior to any M43 sensor, you cant cheat physics.
@@roscosart1888 by that logic, we should all be using 10 year old point and shoots with 1 inch sensors….your smartphone will work just fine for 95% of everything too.
6:42 Not seeing facial detail. Bright sun, but she’s facing away, and seems to have 3 scrapes on her upper left cheek (I’ll kick his ass 😡), but not much else. My time is short - I’m 70 - and much of your detailing shortens my life. Brevity.
So many shills with the gh7 flood on RUclips. Easy pass since I have the gh6 as a Filmmaker. If you desperately need autofocus then gh7 is a fine camera. Otherwise an easy pass for me. My atomos ninjav plus kicks ass in 12 bit raw
If you have 85 clips it Saves both a lot of time in syncing but also in maniging the files. I use the DJI 2 with the float and it saves me so much time
Getting what is, in simplified terms, raw for audio, without the need to carry a bunch of extra gear; like an external recorder, with its own requirements of batteries, cables, mics, and so on, is most definitely not an overrated feature.. Going from a 24-bit audio sample that can represent up to 16.7 million levels amplitude and approximately 144 dB of dynamic range, to a 32-bit floating point audio sample that can represent over 4.2 billion levels of amplitude and approximately 1680 dB of dynamic range internally is nothing less than amazing in a mirrorless camera body!
Awesome work, Arber! Your reviews are always great. Love seeing Malmo as well. it's such a nice place.
you should come and say hi! =) where are you at? Im guessing Sidney?
@@ArberBaqaj Melbourne. I need to get back to your side of the world. Potentially next year. I'll keep you posted :)
for that af function, you can tune the AF settings to be less responsive. for most scenarios it will do
Im going to do that 💪🏼

Hi Arber did u use gh7 to record this ?
Ni its recorded with the S5IIx and the 18mm f1.8 :)
Great vid! Did you notice any moire while shooting with the GH7?
the button that you wish for (autofocus) is available. af lock can be configured to be active as long as you press a button.
Yes I know but thats not the same :) but would work in some scenarios:)
How do you think the AF would be for sports videography? Would it be good enough?
The idea to have an focus lock function that can be assigned to a button is great. I think it should work like AE-lock as long as you press the button.
Are you sure the 32 bit works with the 3.5 mic input? I have heard in another video that it only works for XLR.
It works with the 3.5mm jack on the xlr2 but not on the camera :)
@@ArberBaqajwhat does that mean Aber, I have a wireless mic? No 32 float in my video? Thanks Frans, Bali
Thanks for the video. However, I would like to know what kind of camera you are using to record this video. Quality is awesome
its the s5IIx with the 18mm f1.8
I heard that the 32 bit float won't go through the 3.5 jack.
It does on the xlr2 but not the bodie
The best of the best. ! Period.
Yes 🙌🏻
Could you please share the footage from gh7 as you did with gh6 back in a days? Thanks!
Yes why not, I’ll upload it tonight!

Nice one man, hope to see some more GH7 stuff from you
I’m torn! In my mind this was my last camera review
@@ArberBaqaj I hear you, wasn’t thinking of a review just using the camera in different ways
Great to see a review of the GH7. A remark about internal RAQ, Nikon has also internal rea recording in mirrorless cameras.
Yes the z9 has it but no one gets that for video

@ArberBaqaj i know a whole lot of professionals that are shooting on the Z9 for video. There's A.

What we want is a lumix follow focus motor to link to the gh7 to use face detection on all manuel lens !! ✊🏼
I think the dji does that with lidar if Im not misstaken!
@@ArberBaqaj yes but it’s actually pretty simple to do it internally 🙏🏼
On my Panasonic GH5 II I have open gate 5k 30fps. I was expecting 5k-5.7k 60fps, but of course, yet again, we are being dripfed small incremental updates...
thats true! it wasnt marketed to heavely then though =)
How does it compare to the pocket 4k as for imagine quality, low light condition, and general use? Cheers
Pan and tilt are not consistent when shooting handheld. The stebilization looks great but the camera does not lend itself to the user when panning and tilting.
Just incase the hotshoe is damaged can I connect the xlr unit to the camera with 3.5mm cable? Also does the xlr 2 has its own power?
Not UFO detection? Pass
Ha ha ha, good one
UFO AF mode coming next 😂😂😂
😆😆😆
Hey! It's possible do a AF testar usina a Sigma Lens with M43 EF adaptador?
not sure to be honest, i havent an adapter anymore
@@ArberBaqaj thanks
Is it possible to record the 2 XLR inputs AND the 3/4 input at the same time with 32bit float? So 4 Channel 32bit?
unfortunatly not as far as know

You put out the BEST reviews from the GH line. No Fluff NO Bluff !
You are two kind!
I would love anything except for ProRes. Come on, Panasonic, let's get some Braw on there
Why didn't you show more footage from the camera? Very disappointing. Talking is one thing but show us what you are talking about.

The GH7 is close to perfection. The only limitation is image quality not as good as full frame.

@@SeanBarretti resisted as long as I could and I bought the gh7 to avoid the streaking issues of the gh6' , now my b cam. So now I'm a gh7 shill.
The camera is awesome if you like a micro 4/3 sensor… Which I don’t. The lowlight results suck and there’s lots of noise in the darks.
But I was told that DaVinci's auto align by waveform works 100% and therefore 32b float internal is a pointless/overrated feature.
If you have 85 clips it Saves both a lot of time in syncing but also in maniging the files. I use the DJI 2 with the float and it saves me so much time
