Lumix DMC-G7 + Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. Power O.I.S. (Black)
16mp Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless Digital Camera Kit
The black Lumix DMC-G7 is a hybrid mirrorless digital camera with advanced still and 4K UHD video capabilities. With a 16 MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor and Venus Engine 9 image processor, the G7 features low-light sensitivity to ISO 25600, continuous shooting at up to 8 fps with single-shot AF, as well as a trio of 30 fps shooting rates based on the 4K UHD video recording. Built-in HDR, Panorama, Photo Style and Creative Control modes offer even more control over your final image.
Alongside the fast burst shooting modes is a DFD (Depth-From-Defocus) autofocus system that ensures rapid focusing speeds for accurate subject tracking and consistently sharp imagery even in low-light conditions down to -4 EV. This contrast-detection type focus method benefits both still and video recording modes, as well as subject tracking applications where subject colour, size, and motion vectors are used to intelligently lock-onto the moving subjects and ensure precise focus. Alternatively, when working with manual focus, focus peaking is available that highlights bright edges of contrast with a coloured outline for quickly recognising your focus point, as well as depth of field distances.
Record 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) video with either 30p or 24p frames rates at 100Mbps in the MP4 format. Full HD 1080p/60 is also supported, in both MP4 and AVCHD formats, as well as HD and SD resolutions. A built-in stereo microphone can be used during recordings, and features an integrated wind-cut filter, or an optional external microphone can be added via the 3.5mm jack.
This is complimented by a modern body with physical dials to control exposure, six customisable function buttons, a high-resolution EVF and 3.0" tilting touchscreen LCD. Wi-Fi is also built-in to allow for wireless sharing and remote camera control using the Panasonic Image App.
Included with the G7 is the Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. Power O.I.S. lens from Panasonic, a versatile compact zoom that's ideal for travel. Designed for use with Micro Four Thirds system cameras, the lens covers a wide-angle to telephoto 24-120mm equivalent focal length range.
The lens design uses three aspherical elements and one extra-low dispersion element to reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations while a rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth out of focus quality to suit working with selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques. This is complimented by a Power Optical Image Stabilisation system to compensate for the effects of camera shake. This image stabilisation system is also compatible with cameras featuring Dual I.S, where sensor-shift type image stabilisation provides even more effective control over camera shake. All this is housed in a dust- and splash-proof body for peace of mind when working in changeable environments.
