Description — Panasonic DMC-GF7
The Panasonic LUMIX GF7 is a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera centered on a 16MP sensor processed by the Venus Engine. The camera's ISO 100–25600 range gives photographers flexibility across different lighting environments, while burst shooting at up to 5.8fps provides practical capability for action or fast-moving subjects. The GF7 captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4592 x 3448 pixels and offers seven color profiles including Standard, Vivid, Natural, Monochrome, Scenery, Portrait, and Custom.
Video recording tops out at 1080p at 60fps in 8-bit color, with additional frame rate options of 50, 30, 25, and 24fps. The 3.0-inch tilting TFT LCD touchscreen at 1.04 million dots is the sole compositing tool, as no viewfinder is included. The body weighs just 266g and measures 107 x 65 x 33mm in its plastic/metal composite construction, with no weather sealing.
A built-in pop-up flash offers coverage up to approximately 4.0m at ISO 100, and Wi-Fi connectivity enables wireless sharing. Storage relies on SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, and the DMW-BLH7 battery is rated for approximately 230 shots per charge.
