Anyone know if you're able to change ISO while recording video like the GH3/4? I know the GH2 and G6 couldn't.

Actually, I change ISO manually while recording on my G6 all the time. I don't think the G6 has auto ISO in manual mode though...

@Panamedia Yes you can change ISO whilst recording.

@lmackreath Yes you can Auto ISO in manual mode.

Thanks for answering! :) And just to make sure too, there is no record limit for USA versions, just the PAL versions right?

Whit the new Metabones Speedbooster XL 0.64x (1.28 crop factor), "when the GH4 is used in Cinema 4k video mode the horizontal full frame crop factor is reduced from 2.34x to 1.50x, thus effectively transforming the GH4 into a super-35 format 4k cine camera." However, the G7-G70 does not shoot DCI 4K like the GH4, only UHD, wich will be the crop factor, any ideas?

@woolhats: Thanks for posting the video, always liked TheCameraStoreTV. He said there is a 30 minute limit on the NTSC model (since he's in Canada), that's a huge deal breaker for me. My older G6 doesn't have the limit. Was hoping to upgrade.

Hi People, just received today confirmation from BH about the availability of the G7.

From the options, I prefer, the pricier (only black), due to the extra 14mm lens and rode video mic pro:

But this deal seems to be better (not yet available):

carlopecic

Well, I've just bought one, should have it on Tuesday, and then the fun begins! Have had a GH1 and currently a GH2, so will let you know how it compares to them.

@liork very impressive footage...

How can i use live HDMI? There's no setting on the camera G7....

@liork Indy 500 video looks great. Well done.

fahrenheit

@liork Are you sure that's 1080p? It looks 720p on my monitor and only offers that resolution as a download from my Plus account.

Not that it matters as there's a link to a Youtube version on his website that looks eminently better:

liork

You are right, the 4K option is not there any more.

Looks that the new G7 14-140mm kit has still the famous OIS jittering issue.

@Vesku

It is same lens, so I do not know that you expected here :-)

waqarch

@Vitaliy! This cam looks promising to me, similar at launch as gh1 and gh2 Any chance you can work on this for better bitrates and other improvements?

Aria

The main thing i'd love to see added was extended recording times and V Log. Other than that this camera is great for my needs.

Howdy, Stranger!
