And for the first time, this new model features a 5.7K ProRes RAW 12-bit internal recording. Are you curious to find out how this new flagship model performs? Then read on &#8230;<\/strong><\/p><359061-inline-buylinks\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The LUMIX GH line has always been close to my heart, as my journey with mirrorless cameras started in 2009 with the LUMIX GH1 camera. Now, I&#8217;m holding the GH7 in my hands and I wonder if Panasonic managed again to create a new milestone in the camera landscape. Not only is this model capable of recording internal 12-bit ProResRAW HQ video with its 25.2MP BSI CMOS Micro Four Thirds image sensor, but also 32-bit float audio (with the new optional DMW-XLR2 unit). By the way, if you are curious about how the predecessor GH6 and the first GH1 model perform in the lab please head over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/panasonic-lumix-gh6-lab-test-rolling-shutter-dynamic-range-and-latitude\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, in case you first want to read the full GH7 specs, you can head over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/panasonic-lumix-gh7-announced-pdaf-internal-prores-raw-32-bit-float-audio-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, and if you missed it, don&#8217;t forget to tune in to our weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/cined-focus-check-ep15-canon-eos-c400-panasonic-lumix-gh7-canon-rf35mm-f-1-4-and-cine-servo-17-120mm-t2-95-3-9-sigma-28-45mm-f-1-8-sony-and-ai-tribeca-film-festival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">podcast episode<\/a> of Focus Check when Johnnie and Nino discuss the LUMIX GH7.

In Resolve, we used the following development settings for the Cinema DNG files to bring them into the Panasonic V-Gamut\/Log space:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"181\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNG-Dev-Settings-900x181.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve 19 Cinema DNG development settings\" class=\"wp-image-359627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNG-Dev-Settings-900x181.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNG-Dev-Settings-300x60.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNG-Dev-Settings-768x155.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNG-Dev-Settings-1143x230.jpg 1143w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNG-Dev-Settings.jpg 1287w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">DaVinci Resolve 19 Cinema DNG development settings.

Now let&#8217;s look at IMATEST for the same mode:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-ProResRAW-5.7K-HQ-ISO500_1.36.1_Step_2.jpg\" alt=\"MATEST result for the LUMIX GH7, 5.7K ProRes RAW\" class=\"wp-image-359600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-ProResRAW-5.7K-HQ-ISO500_1.36.1_Step_2.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-ProResRAW-5.7K-HQ-ISO500_1.36.1_Step_2-300x321.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-ProResRAW-5.7K-HQ-ISO500_1.36.1_Step_2-215x230.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">IMATEST result for the LUMIX GH7, 5.7K ProRes RAW.

What can be seen in the middle graph above the blue &#8220;11.6&#8221; curve, there are additional stops identified in the noise floor. With 12-bit ProResRAW HQ, it should be possible to &#8220;excavate&#8221; those additional stops in post using noise reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would also like to draw your attention to the lower right-hand graph &#8220;Noise Spectrum&#8221; &#8211; it shows the noise spectrum with respect to the frequency or resolution. The LUMIX GH7 holds very high amplitudes up to very high resolutions (towards the right-hand side of the graph). This is: a) a clear sign of very little to no in-camera noise reduction, and b) it means that high-frequency detail is still visible (and not smeared out). This is the power of RAW, very good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For sake of comparison, here is the waveform and IMATEST result if we switch to 5.7K 10bit ProRes HQ recording (using V-Log):<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"704\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-5_8K-25p-Waveform-1-900x704.png\" alt=\"Lumix GH7 ProRes HQ V-Log waveform\" class=\"wp-image-359633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-5_8K-25p-Waveform-1-900x704.png 900w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-5_8K-25p-Waveform-1-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-5_8K-25p-Waveform-1-768x600.png 768w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-5_8K-25p-Waveform-1-1536x1201.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-5_8K-25p-Waveform-1-294x230.png 294w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GH7-5_8K-25p-Waveform-1.png 1942w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lumix GH7 ProRes HQ V-Log waveform.

Hence, there is some in-camera noise reduction happening which can also be seen in the lower right-hand graph &#8220;Noise spectrum&#8221;: if you look at the amplitudes at higher frequencies, they drop very fast to levels below 0.4 and later to around 0.1 &#8211; hence, noise reduction smears out the higher resolution details. With ProRes RAW, this does not happen &#8211; the amplitudes never drop below 0.5 even at the highest frequencies. This also means that noise should be very finely distributed &#8211; great! Again, we can see the power of RAW here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/camera-database\/?camera=LUMIX-GH7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CineD Database<\/a> will be updated with further results soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exposure Latitude of the LUMIX GH7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As written in earlier lab reports, latitude describes the capability of a camera to retain colors and details when over or underexposed and normalized back to a zero baseline exposure level in post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our case, we have a standard studio scene where the base exposure is (arbitrarily) set to 60% luma value on the waveform for the forehead of our talent &#8211; my dear colleague Johnnie. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-900x223.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve 19 development settings\" class=\"wp-image-359107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-900x223.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-300x74.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-768x190.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-929x230.jpg 929w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings.jpg 1086w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">DaVinci Resolve 19 development settings.

Exposure is adjusted using the exposure slider, but this only works from +4 to -4 stops. Hence, we use in addition a 3-node arrangement: on the first node is a color space transform from Panasonic V-Log to DaVinci Wide Gamut, then we have the middle node where additional adjustments are done, and then a last node again with a color space transform to bring the DaVinci Wide Gamut files back to Rec709.

Nevertheless, the image still looks surprisingly good considering we are at 9 stops of latitude &#8211; also the shadow side of Johnnie&#8217;s face is still somewhat intact! Let&#8217;s not forget that we are looking at a Micro Four Thirds sensor here! At 8 stops of exposure latitude, most of the recent consumer full-frame cameras are reaching their limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/red-komodo-x-lab-test-dynamic-range-and-exposure-latitude\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RED RAPTOR [X]<\/a> which can handle 9 stops of exposure latitude, or the ARRI Mini LF which goes to 10 stops. And let&#8217;s not forget the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/arri-alexa-35-lab-test-rolling-shutter-dynamic-range-and-latitude-plus-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ARRI ALEXA 35<\/a> which can handle 12 stops of exposure latitude, to give you our current benchmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Panasonic did it again &#8211; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1832646-REG\/panasonic_dc_gh7body_lumix_gh7_mirrorless_camera.html\/BI\/7953\/KBID\/8488\/gunther\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LUMIX GH7<\/a> is in a class of its own considering the Micro Four Thirds sensor size! Not only does it show good rolling shutter values, also the dynamic range results don&#8217;t disappoint. They are quite similar to the recently tested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/sony-alpha-9-iii-lab-test-dynamic-range-and-latitude\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sony A9 III<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/canon-eos-r5-c-lab-test-rolling-shutter-dynamic-range-and-latitude\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canon EOS R5 C<\/a> for example. As mentioned, it plays in the league of recent consumer full-frame cameras with those results (a bit on the lower end though).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exposure latitude tests again reveal the power of 12-bit RAW images &#8211; we can push this little camera to 8 stops of latitude, with some room towards 9! This is at least one stop better than the predecessor LUMIX GH6 which only offered 10-bit ProRes HQ internally and also one stop better than the full frame Canon R5 C or Sony a7S III for example which exhibited 7 stops of exposure latitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I can&#8217;t help but imagine what would happen if Panasonic managed to bring the &#8220;dynamic range boost&#8221; technology and ProRes RAW internal recording to their full frame cameras in the form of an S1\/S1H Mark II. Okay, I will dream on &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Have you used the Panasonic LUMIX GH7 already? Do you like shooting on Micro Four Thirds sensors?

The LUMIX GH7 holds very high amplitudes up to very high resolutions (towards the right-hand side of the graph). This is: a) a clear sign of very little to no in-camera noise reduction, and b) it means that high-frequency detail is still visible (and not smeared out).

Hence, there is some in-camera noise reduction happening which can also be seen in the lower right-hand graph &#8220;Noise spectrum&#8221;: if you look at the amplitudes at higher frequencies, they drop very fast to levels below 0.4 and later to around 0.1 &#8211; hence, noise reduction smears out the higher resolution details. With ProRes RAW, this does not happen &#8211; the amplitudes never drop below 0.5 even at the highest frequencies. This also means that noise should be very finely distributed &#8211; great! Again, we can see the power of RAW here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/camera-database\/?camera=LUMIX-GH7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CineD Database<\/a> will be updated with further results soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exposure Latitude of the LUMIX GH7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As written in earlier lab reports, latitude describes the capability of a camera to retain colors and details when over or underexposed and normalized back to a zero baseline exposure level in post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our case, we have a standard studio scene where the base exposure is (arbitrarily) set to 60% luma value on the waveform for the forehead of our talent &#8211; my dear colleague Johnnie. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-900x223.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve 19 development settings\" class=\"wp-image-359107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-900x223.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-300x74.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-768x190.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings-929x230.jpg 929w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Development-settings.jpg 1086w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">DaVinci Resolve 19 development settings.

Exposure is adjusted using the exposure slider, but this only works from +4 to -4 stops. Hence, we use in addition a 3-node arrangement: on the first node is a color space transform from Panasonic V-Log to DaVinci Wide Gamut, then we have the middle node where additional adjustments are done, and then a last node again with a color space transform to bring the DaVinci Wide Gamut files back to Rec709.

This is at least one stop better than the predecessor LUMIX GH6 which only offered 10-bit ProRes HQ internally and also one stop better than the full frame Canon R5 C or Sony a7S III for example which exhibited 7 stops of exposure latitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I can&#8217;t help but imagine what would happen if Panasonic managed to bring the &#8220;dynamic range boost&#8221; technology and ProRes RAW internal recording to their full frame cameras in the form of an S1\/S1H Mark II. Okay, I will dream on &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Have you used the Panasonic LUMIX GH7 already? Do you like shooting on Micro Four Thirds sensors?

And for the first time, this new model features a 5.7K ProRes RAW 12-bit internal recording. Are you curious to find out how this new flagship model performs? Then read on &#8230; The LUMIX GH line has always been close to my heart, as my journey with mirrorless cameras started in 2009 with the LUMIX GH1 camera. Now, I&#8217;m holding the GH7 in my hands and I wonder if Panasonic managed again to create a new milestone in the camera landscape.
