Ok, actually in stock, but is or not discontinued?

Would be nice if Panasonic replace the Gx7 with upgraded options as the 4K recording and improved stabilization, i really like the GX7 form factor much more than the GH4, but we really don't know if Panasonic will upgrade the Lumix G series beyond the GH4.

@xenogears, I agree with you. I prefer the GX7 por size, design, portability but GH4 have more options.

I dream GX8 will be 4K and HDMI usable for record.

We shot this music video with my Lumix GX7 after comparing the image quality with other Canon cameras that we had available. Samyang lenses were used with a EF adapter. It's a great camera, the image it's better to work than most of the DSLRs that people are using. Now i got a GH4 :)

@JLemos, ho do you monitorizing through a single device or only with EVF?

Hey Lads, Some few street shots from the other day. GX7 plus a 7$ 50mm Rikenon Lens

It is all hand held. Slowmo and good body position will do the trick.

Tomorrow I'll pick my GX7. :)

@Manu4Vendetta You find the adjust in the tab with the wrench with the C letter - search for "MF Assist" and set it to the second option (the lens drawing plus "focus").

To activate it with a m4/3 lens (with autofocus), just lock the focus (with half-press shutter) and turn the focus ring with the focus locked; or put the camera in Manual focus and turn the focus ring. The you will see the magnified vision.

With adapted lens, press the back dial to activate focus magnification.

To switch between the full screen and windowed mode, look for an icon in the bottom of the LCD that looks like two rectangles inside each other, when the display is showing the focus magnified image. Touch that icon and it will switch modes.

And to control the amount of magnification (between 3x and 6x), use the dials when the magnified image is being displayed - the back dial changes the magnification in 1x value, and the shutter release dial changes 0.1x

Just got this camera off personal-view.com deals. I like low light performance compared to my good old GH2s but there's one serious limitation I've encountered.

In P mode the camera doesn't allow the shutter speed to go below 1/50. It does so in i-auto mode, however. I shoot mostly stage performances where light goes form pitch black to blinding and I cannot use manual mode for unsupervised cameras in my set. And I-auto doesn't allow to set white balance manually. So the only two evils I'm left to chose from are either to shoot full auto or use A mode with 1/25 shutter. That's a bummer.

A question to G6/GM1 owners: is this the case with your cameras?

Question 2. I cannot figure out how to quit the time lapse mode. If interval is long enough I can press Fn3 button as camera suggests and choose 'End' from pop-up menu. But if I shoot, say, 1 frame per second it's not possible. A have to turn off the camera. Is there a way around it?

That happens with pretty much any camera that has a built-in flash if you use a big enough lens. Which lens does your friend have?

Ah. I don't have that lens to test with, sorry, but you can probably mitigate the problem a bit by zooming in a little bit and/or not using the lens shade (assuming that it is still on).

So switch to A and lock down your aperture.
