Yes! You can remove the SD Card in your camera which will have your videos/photos. You can then import that to your computer to edit or upload. Hope this helps!
Wow, you actually changed the title of this excellent video from "Setup" to "Set Up," as I recommended in a comment to the previous version. I'm impressed that anybody would actually listen to my nitpicky whining. Thank you.
@@NatesFilmTutorials I don t know what to do, I want to record how I draw on my ipad, but when on my ipad screen is a bright color, my lumix is changing brightness too..i don t know how to fix this
I love that you update your set up for this camera, like I just watched the first video where your little brother walks in and now your set up is so professional ☺️❤️
*Bought the G7 as My First Camera, and I loved it So Much I did an unboxing of it and Review and then bought the G85 and Did the Same, I think it's STILL the best Budget 4K Camera on the Market with the Canon M50 being the second but at $650 and the MKII is $700. But at $500 WITH a Kit Lens and Sometimes with an Additional Lens for $600 which put's it STILL under the Price of the Canon with an Additional Lens with the Panasonic. Love Both Cameras, Nice Review and tutorial. *
I watched all of your g7 tutorials 2 years ago when I was searching for the best settings for my then newly bought g80. For some reason I did not subscribe but I remember your videos helping me a lot. I notice you are using a different camera now but it’s nice to know you still kept your g7. 👍 Subscribed now btw and will look forward for your future videos. 😉
I'm actually going to re-watch this video to learn how to use this camera that I got as a gift. You explained it very well and I like your soothing tone of voice. Thank you very much, this helps me a lot!
Thank you - I love my Panasonic G7 outdoors but have been struggling with making it work well indoors in my basement office with low light. Hopefully by using some of your settings ideas plus some better lighting, I can solve this problem.
Hi ! Great to talk about the G7 in 2020! 👌 I have been using it for two years and overall it is a very good camera. I've used it with the 14-42 kit for years, I finally invested in an 18-35mm 1.8 and a 70-200mm f4 + Viltrox, day and night! But recently I started to really feel its limits, the 1080p 60p is unusable because of its very low bitrate and the image decomposes next to the 4K 100mbps, the GH4 does much better (200Mbps in FHD 60). The HDMI output can't send signal to an HDMI monitor during recording, unlike its big brother the G80, and this is a big weakness when you need a larger screen. He does not have an IBIS either, it can bother some, panasonic's IBIS is really nice. And even stabilized on Ronin S, it's a luxury when you no longer have optical IS. Also clips can be color corrected and graded easely but after using the 10bits of GH5 or the 12bits of the BMPCCs, i had higher expectations. So finally I would recommend more to go on a used G80 or GH4. Finaly the G7 still is a really performing camera and and despite its faults I love it. Do not hesitate to take a look on my channel to see what I got from it 😉 Thanks for the video !
No lies told here and yes i recently noticed that you cannot use an external monitor with that camera!! And to be honest, image app is not a good alternative
I just bought a g7 though it is 2024 now and I don't care even if g7 is 2015 released. I like the simplicity and compact of it. But I don't know the settings yet that is why when I saw this tutorial I am so happy that I cross to your channel. So I subscribed now.
This really helped me alot. I just got my g7 today and it's my first camera. A bit overwhelming but your video helped me understand what I need to do. Thank you!
I just watched your video, its great, but i have question, how you can control appeture/SS/ISO and it shown in preview LCD ? I can not do that, even i change tje apperture, the display doesnt change. Could you mind how it can be ? Please ...
hey maybe u can help me understand this...when I go into settings, the exposure mode is not highlighted so I can't click on it, also in photo style the cinematic option is not available..idk why
Thanks Mikkel! I appreciate the kind words, unfortunately I only do video and no longer own the G7, but here is a good in depth video I found that should help you ruclips.net/video/cPwZesvVhAg/видео.html
I just watched your old video from 2017 with your little brother opening the door and next this video. Wow, your set and sound have improved so much! Very inspiring! I like your style, it's so relaxing. I am a complete beginner, looking into affordable cameras, but I couldn't focus on the very energetic and sometimes a bit loud (even if equally informative) tech channels :D Thank you for all the info and the soft spoken delivery:)
Thanks for this video. Please make more tutorials on G7 and how to get the best out of it. I purchased it after watching your older videos on it but haven't really been able to get satisfying shots out of it.
Hmm.. Do you have any examples where you were trying to make it look more professional? Send me a video and I'll take a look at it. It could be needing more creative camera angles or even color grading. Again as I stated in the video, there is a lot to learn. I'm still learning!
Great tutorial, Nate. I have four of these cameras and I've been using them for my videos for a couple years. You are 100% right about the marginally quality of the autofocus feature. However for the price, this is a great camera and it can be a real workhorse if you pay attention to the details.
Thank you for this! I feel like I have a much better understanding of my Lumix G7, something I didn't feel after combing through many pages of the manual, cheers!
@@NatesFilmTutorials I setup peaking to high, because i prefer precision focusing to objects. But all guide how to setup Panasonic Lumix DMC G7 is very helpful!
Whatever! You see I grew up in the south, and we do things differently. We wake up at the crack of dawn, milk the cows, heard the sheep. Then if we finish our chores quickly Pa will take us to the Cracker Barrel. Then after we plow the fields mama cooks up suppa and we eat till are belts to tight, expecially if it’s her famous stew and for dessert we finish off with possum jello. Yehaw!
Thank you for this video its been a great help even in 2022! in the hope you or anyone else my see this I am having problems encoding my clips in Filmora 11. Seems that if I shoot on my iPhone 12 pro encoding 30 minutes can take my laptop around 1 hour max. same clips using the G7 clips its hours and hours! now my Laptop is not the best but always been good enough but I feel there is something in the codec that slows the encoding down significantly. Did you also have issues with this or have any advise. thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words! Hmmm that sounds like a mix between computer hardware or perhaps the software isn't quite optimized for the G7 4K files. You can adjust the video quality settings, by shooting in a lower bitrate or a lower resolution if thats helps. It's not ideal, but it could help with your encoding issue. You could also try editing with DaVinci Resolve (free version) and see if that works better for you. Hope this was helpful!
I would just use the auto mode for video. you don't have time to change lenses and go into your settings when your doing run&gun like most video situations are. youl find that out quick. the only thing is you just have to give it a second or 2 to adjust it self after your set and recording. you can edit that piece out.
Hey man I have a problem with my G7, whenever I put it on manual mode the screen turns black and white, and yet I am not in black white mode, after I take a photo it comes in color, but the preview is in black and white. Can you help me.
Great!...Informative Info on the G7 Question, what memory cards with mega room to record on do you recommend? thanks and keep up the good work my friend.. by the way, just subbed.
i just got the 18-35 for my G7 w/the viltrox speedbooster and wanted to know if the shoot w/o lens feature should be on or off. since you said adapted lenses. or is that only for when using vintage lenses thanks
Thanks, that is awesome! Is it possible to know the setting you used to film yourself on this video because we can see that half of the room is in «daylight» and the other side in a kind of «tungstene» mode?
having trouble with the settings. when i try and scroll the dials for aperture and shutter speed nothing happens. when i hit the button in the middle of the shutter speed scroll i do get the iso and white balance options u mentioned. also when i hit the wb button, a different "direct focus area" screen with a grid of squares comes up.
Had the same problem and I should have some fixes for you: For the aperture and shutter, double tap the display button. This will bring up a screen of options. At the upper left corner of this screen there should be a red button with a letter on it. That is your exposure settings. Make sure it is set to M for manual. This will let you operate the wheels. For direct focus area, this can be turned off in the menu settings. You will find it under "Custom" settings, there should be a feature for it that you can change from on to off. Hope this helped.
@@theminiaturemenace Holy hell. I was having this exact issue but I shrugged it off as just something I didn't understand. Went into the Settings as directed and ... boom! Aperture is working perfectly! Thank ya, mate!
What do you think the best overall lens are for recording video? I am mainly doing interviews but also want to look into hand-held dramatic b-roll. Googling around it seems like the best options are the kit lens lol. Reddit loves the 25mm but they are not stabilized.
Hmm... the 25mm f/1.7 is a fabulous lens! For interviews the 50mm focal length is your best friend. However personally I would look at the gear you could see yourself using in 5 years if you plan on doing video for the long run. Will you be switching cameras? Most likely. That why I chose to invest in Sigma full frame art lenses for canon EF, so I can adapt it to nearly any camera. This might be a good topic for a video.
@@NatesFilmTutorials Thanks for the reply man! I own two G7s and some of the finer lens are almost the same price as the camera. I'd watch that video if you make it! I have no idea what to look for in a camera that will have a 5 year shelf life
Davecation TV Thanks! Well not that your camera would last 5 years, but your lenses will. The term I heard was you date your camera and marry your lenses. Because lenses will retain there value unlike cameras which are upgraded so frequently
Davecation TV That’s also true, lenses can be more expensive. I would consider looking at a set of used Rokinon lenses. They’re pretty affordable and quite decent for most scenarios, of course no autofocus, but they provide a nice image
3:00 my g7 doesn't shows this variety of ISO settings like your ! Mine is stuck at 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 ! That's it ! How may I get the iso settings as your, like different numbers of ISO ! Please help
You have to set your exposure increments to 1/3 stops. There is a setting in the menus not exactly sure where but it should be the one with the gear icon. Hope this helps!
I've had this camera for a bit and can't seem to get rid of camera flicker. it's like these subtle black lines that go across the screen. I found to get rid of them you need to up the shutter speed but that didn't seem to do anything. Any help please
I’m using this in 2024 and I have a Sony 50mm. It brought up the error that you said about not being a lens and I changed the setting but the camera with the lens is blurry and won’t focus! Is there anything I’m doing wrong?
Nothing happens when I spin either of those dials at the top. Just got the camera today from Best Buy. Any idea why? I’m assuming it’s a setting I have turned on or off
Hii, the little thingy where you look through with your eye is not working. How do I turn this on? I can only use it in one specific filming mode. I have to use the touchscreen as a view for all the other modes. How can I change that? Love your vids btw!
Hey! There should be a button on the side of the viewfinder you can press. Keep in mind, there are 3 modes. On, Off, and one where it will automatically turn on when you put it up to your eye.
Is there a way to save appropriate shutter speed for both 25 and 50fps (EU)? Mine just doesn't seem to keep this so changing from normal to slowmo requires manual shutter adjustment as well. Is this standard or am I missing something? Cheers
This is awesome. I’m wondering why mic level is 0db? Is this dependent on the mic one chooses to use? I use rode vic mic pro. Some people suggest to have camera mic level on -6db.... Or with external mic, still best on 0db?
Hey! 0db works well with my Røde Video Micro. The Pro has a +20db option which is superior to the cameras internal gain. If you left it at 0db, Naturally it would be too loud, so you would compensate by lowering the camera’s internal preamp. I would experiment with it based on how far you are away from the mic. The goal is you don’t want it too high or it’ll distort nor too low you can’t hear yourself. Hope this helps!
@@NatesFilmTutorials @Nate's Film Tutorials Hi Nate! Thanks so much for replying. Excuse my ignorance - but what is and how do I adjust the camera's internal preamp? Is that the Mic Adjust Levels? I usually put the Rode on +20db.. I sit about 1.5metres away (in a room) - and it's echo-y.. I've had it mic levels on -6db, and perhaps that's why sound is a bit 'far-away/echo-y'.. Appreciate your vids, they're super helpful! Greetings from Aust.
hey thanks for those tips, i have to ask, how do you deal with the no body stabilization, i have one and i use a steadicam but its so dificult to get a non shake image.
Hey Meje! Great question! I use a combination of tricks to get smooth handheld video. 1. Use a stabilized lens if you can 2. If your shooting Broll, 60fps can help smooth out the shakes when you slow it down in post. 3. Add a warp stabilizer in post. 4. Try to film steady shots, get more points of contact keep it stable. 5 You can also add weight to your setup which helps significantly. If you are getting shaky footage with your steadicam, my thought would be thats its improperly balanced. They can be tricky tools, so the more practice you have with them the better the results
Thanks, another question, when im recording the the info on the screen goes away at 15-30s , the grid, the balance meter, all of them goes away. You know why this happend and how can I fixed?
This is my first camera, and I haven’t had an idea how to use it for the video recording properly. This tutorial was so helpful and understandable. Thank you!🙂
Same here!

@@NatesFilmTutorials question when I record and I’m finish I connect it to my computer to then upload the video right ?

3:00 my g7 doesn't shows this variety of ISO settings like your ! Mine is stuck at 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 ! That's it ! How may I get the iso settings as your, like different numbers of ISO ! Please help
You have to set your exposure increments to 1/3 stops. There is a setting in the menus not exactly sure where but it should be the one with the gear icon. Hope this helps!
Still a very cool camera. Love it
Really helpful, thank you Nate!
super helpful thank you
Thanks Oscar! Glad it was helpful
I've had this camera for a bit and can't seem to get rid of camera flicker. it's like these subtle black lines that go across the screen. I found to get rid of them you need to up the shutter speed but that didn't seem to do anything. Any help please
hmmm... It sounds like an issue with some LED lights. Unless it happens outdoors as well..
Thank you

I want for product review RUclips Chanel..can this do it ?. Auto Focus is good ?
I’m using this in 2024 and I have a Sony 50mm. It brought up the error that you said about not being a lens and I changed the setting but the camera with the lens is blurry and won’t focus! Is there anything I’m doing wrong?
What model lens are you using? Sony lenses don’t work on micro four thirds cameras
I have a mount for it by viltrox
how'd you get the white focus Frame to appear on your mirror screen?
Nothing happens when I spin either of those dials at the top. Just got the camera today from Best Buy. Any idea why? I’m assuming it’s a setting I have turned on or off
Thanks, very informative!
You earned a subscriber. Good job Bro
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you.
Glad to help!
Does it have extra crop in 4k video ? and does it shoot video in 16:9 ration ?
There is a slight crop in 4K. Shoots 16:9
@@NatesFilmTutorials Ok thank you so much sir.
You are welcome!
The aperture numbers won't change when I move the front knob.
Do you have any settings for video streaming? Thanks :)
Hii, the little thingy where you look through with your eye is not working. How do I turn this on? I can only use it in one specific filming mode. I have to use the touchscreen as a view for all the other modes. How can I change that? Love your vids btw!
Hey! There should be a button on the side of the viewfinder you can press. Keep in mind, there are 3 modes. On, Off, and one where it will automatically turn on when you put it up to your eye.
Is there a way to save appropriate shutter speed for both 25 and 50fps (EU)? Mine just doesn't seem to keep this so changing from normal to slowmo requires manual shutter adjustment as well. Is this standard or am I missing something? Cheers
This is awesome. I’m wondering why mic level is 0db? Is this dependent on the mic one chooses to use? I use rode vic mic pro. Some people suggest to have camera mic level on -6db.... Or with external mic, still best on 0db?
Hey! 0db works well with my Røde Video Micro. The Pro has a +20db option which is superior to the cameras internal gain. If you left it at 0db, Naturally it would be too loud, so you would compensate by lowering the camera’s internal preamp. I would experiment with it based on how far you are away from the mic. The goal is you don’t want it too high or it’ll distort nor too low you can’t hear yourself. Hope this helps!
@@NatesFilmTutorials @Nate's Film Tutorials Hi Nate! Thanks so much for replying. Excuse my ignorance - but what is and how do I adjust the camera's internal preamp? Is that the Mic Adjust Levels?
I usually put the Rode on +20db.. I sit about 1.5metres away (in a room) - and it's echo-y..
I've had it mic levels on -6db, and perhaps that's why sound is a bit 'far-away/echo-y'..
Appreciate your vids, they're super helpful! Greetings from Aust.
hey thanks for those tips, i have to ask, how do you deal with the no body stabilization, i have one and i use a steadicam but its so dificult to get a non shake image.
Hey Meje! Great question! I use a combination of tricks to get smooth handheld video. 1. Use a stabilized lens if you can 2. If your shooting Broll, 60fps can help smooth out the shakes when you slow it down in post. 3. Add a warp stabilizer in post. 4. Try to film steady shots, get more points of contact keep it stable. 5 You can also add weight to your setup which helps significantly.
If you are getting shaky footage with your steadicam, my thought would be thats its improperly balanced. They can be tricky tools, so the more practice you have with them the better the results
Thanks, another question, when im recording the the info on the screen goes away at 15-30s , the grid, the balance meter, all of them goes away. You know why this happend and how can I fixed?
