Panasonic LUMIX GH7 Mirrorless Camera with ARRI LogC3 Firmware Upgrade Kit (Black)

Get ready for raw with the latest Micro Four Thirds LUMIX GH7 Mirrorless Camera from Panasonic, which now features ProRes RAW internal recording, 32-bit float recording with the optional DMW-XLR2 audio interface, Adobe Cloud Frame.io compatibility, versatile Open Gate framing, and real-time custom LUTs. This flagship update to the powerful GH6 retains all the valuable existing features, including the same compact form factor, a 25.2MP sensor, 5.7K30 Apple ProRes 422 HQ internal recording, improved Phase Hybrid AF, a 13+ stop dynamic range boost, and 5-axis stabilization to accommodate indie film, pro/consumer photography, documentary, or even as a B-camera in high-end productions.

When combined with the separately available DMW-XLR2, the LUMIX GH7 delivers the world's first 32-bit float recording, improving the quality and efficiency of the entire workflow. With its wide dynamic range, the 32-bit float format records more information, from quiet to loud sounds, eliminating the need for tedious sound level adjustments during audio recording. The GH7 is always ready to capture 48 kHz 24-bit with its built-in mic.

The Dynamic Range Boost function acquires two types of images with a single exposure and synthesizes them in real-time to create composite images with rich tonal range even in scenes with significant luminance differences. With still images, it allows for richer expression of shadow tones in RAW data. With video, it enables 13+-stop V-Log/V-Gamut recording.

The Venus Engine has twice the power of previous generations, which enables 75 fps burst shooting or up to 240 fps variable frame rate (VFR) slow motion video footage. The Venus Engine's fast sensor readout limits the rolling shutter distortion to keep skyscrapers vertical when shooting from an automobile's action mount or to capture slow motion footage of quickly moving objects.

With Frame.io Camera to Cloud, images and videos are automatically uploaded, backed up, shared, and worked on jointly via the cloud.

By using the separately available DMW-SFU3A Software Upgrade Key, users can use the ARRI LogC3, which enables color matching with ARRI's digital cinema cameras. The image processing of the ARRI LogC3 curve on LUMIX GH7 has been certified by ARRI for the implementation of this function. The options for Log recording, which provides rich color information and a wide dynamic range, have been expanded to include ARRI LogC3 in addition to the conventional V-Log, further improving LUMIX's workflow compatibility.

3D noise reduction is achieved by comparing three sequential frames, then automatically scrubbing the noise, which appears in only one of the three frames. Intelligent detail processing eliminates the need for a low-pass filter and smooths fine details like hair and wires to minimize moiré patterns.

In addition to internal recording to the CFexpress card, the GH7 supports 12-bit raw video output in 5.7K, DCI 4K, and Anamorphic 5.8K and 4.4K formats via HDMI when recording to Atomos Ninja V and V+ external recorders in ProRes RAW.
