Panasonic Lumix GH7 with ARRI LogC3

Beschreibung

An Iconic Pro Camera
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.

Key GH7 Updates

• Newly equipped with Apple ProRes RAW internal recording and 32-bit float recording for dramatic enhancements in the speed and quality of video production
• 25.2MP BSI CMOS sensor with 13+ stop dynamic range boost with rich gradation for vibrant, detailed photos and videos
• There’s no longer a need to adjust audio recording levels during shooting – with 32-bit float recording using the optional DMW-XLR2 adapter and internal recording of 5.7K 30p Apple ProRes 422 HQ and Apple ProRes RAW HQ
• Upload still images and proxy videos directly to the Adobe Cloud Frame.io platform.
• One shot for all social media platforms in all aspect ratios via Open Gate for superior resolution and heightened detail
• Improved AF performance with Phase Hybrid Autofocus by adding real-time recognition AF for Human/Animal/Car/Motorcycle/Train/Airplane
• Real-time custom LUTs to apply new color expressions

High-Resolution 25.2MP Sensor, 5.7K Raw Video
Redesigned from the ground up, this sensor improves upon its predecessors in the GH Series with new components and software. It has an improved 13+ stops of dynamic range boost despite its reduced cell size due to the increased number of pixels on the Micro Four Thirds sensor. 

Offering 4:2:2 10-bit C4K/4K 60p/50p internal recording, the LUMIX GH7 delivers unlimited recording time when used at the recommended operating temperature (-10 to 104°F).

5.7K30 ProRes RAW HQ footage can now be recorded internally on the camera via a CFexpress Type B card, giving you the freedom to capture the moment at the click of a button with minimal setup and no need for external devices. The SD slot can capture up to 10-bit 4K120 footage.

32-Bit Float Recording
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.

Phase Hybrid AF & Advanced Recognition
The most important thing with autofocus is to be dependable. In addition to contrast AF, the LUMIX GH7 offers the Phase Detection AF system, which dramatically improves subject tracking performance and metering technologies. The camera can capture the subject even in challenging scenes in which multiple subjects are involved, delivering accuracy even in backlit or low-light environments. 

Advanced Detection AF pushes the envelope on sports, wildlife, and car/motorcycle photography. The LUMIX GH7 can now recognize a wider range of subjects and target parts, including human and animal eyes, the front of vehicles, the helmets of drivers and motorcyclists, the first car of a train, and the nose of an airplane.

Richer Tonal Expression
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.

Stabilization: In-Body, Sensor-Shift
In-body, sensor-shift, 5-axis image stabilization is obtained with a high-precision gyro-sensor and a stabilization algorithm. At all focal lengths, this stabilization technology offers 7.5 stops of deviance from the shutter speed dictated by the reciprocal rule.

Sensor-shift technology works seamlessly with the optical image stabilization of Panasonic lenses. Electronic stabilization is available to those who accept the slight cropping effect it requires. Boost I.S. mode is the most extreme form of electronic stabilization, simulating a shot locked off on a tripod.

Real-Time LUTs
LUTs can be applied to photos and videos on the camera body itself, allowing you to create photos and videos straight out of the camera. Supports “.VLT” and “.CUBE” file formats. By utilizing this feature, you can save time on the complicated post-editing process. In combination with the LUMIX Lab app, you can easily create your own LUTs and install them on the camera.

Lightning-Fast Sensor Readout
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.

ARRI LogC3 Recording
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.

Limitless Latitude
5.7K30 recording is supported in the high-quality Apple ProRes 422 HQ/ProRes 422 and ProRes RAW codecs for visually lossless, high bitrate footage well-suited for intense manipulation in post-production. ProRes 422 HQ/ProRes 422 is also supported in DCI 4K and FHD at up to 60p.
The GH7 supports unlimited recording up to DCI 4K at 60p with 4:2:2 10-bit sampling for pristine detail and depth in color grading.

Anamorphic Versatility

• Record open gate with the 4:3 sensor for 5.8K 30p 4:2:0 10-bit and 4.4K 60p 4:2:0 10-bit video.
• Store up to 10 anamorphic lenses on the GH7 for quick swaps and ready-to-view, desqueezed footage. Images can be desqueezed in cinescope size. Magnification rate is also selectable from 1.30x, 1.33x, 1.5x, 1.8x, or 2.0x.
• The Image Stabilizer Anamorphic setting is ideal for using an anamorphic lens. To properly interpret the visual information for stabilization processing, select from 1.30x, 1.33x, 1.5x, 1.8x or 2.0x depending on the lens magnification.
