G7 Tips: How To Master Manual Focus & Autofocus

Great video! Just bought a G7 and these videos are exactly what I need

Still loving all your videos! I was curious what you think is the best mode to be in when shooting real estate photography when attempting to get entire rooms in the best focus possible? Thanks!

Great information. Audio fx were very distracting and didn't seem appropriate.

Very clear and concise.

I find autofocus very bad at 4k, so it forces you to go back to FHD.

Hi Santos,

your video is really nice: tomorrow night I'll try your settings, because in my channel I'm starting to make video reviews and the problem I have is that when I set and press rec, then I have to move in front of the camera and the video is not in focus at the end: I tried to pilot the Lumix via wifi with the App,

but the button on the mobile phone that starts the rec does not allow first to focus (half a click to understand) and then a whole click to make start the video, so at a distance of about 2 meters I can't see if I'm in focus or not (always when I'm in front of the camera with the screen turned),

do you have a suggestion to solve this problem?

What kind of autofocus do you recommend to stand still at a certain distance in front of the Lumix and obviously be in focus?

Thanks,
Alberto.

This is the only video I have found that really explains focus options well! He's a good teacher. So many others know what they are doing, but are poor teachers.

Best setting for taking fashion pictures for instagram? I want to have focus on the person with creamy background 🤔

Thank you, This really helped!

thank you so much for this video! i have a g7 and wanted to use it as a webcam for gaming videos, but was so confused on how to make it look nice. your other video where you showed how to set it up as a webcam helped so much! thanks i appreciate this keep up the good work.

Again, please recommend the lens for G7, for bokeh photo& video..

Are the focus same on the G85?

Hey! Do you know how to turn on manual focus assist that pops up while recording video? I swear when I first bought my camera, I had the ability while filming to have that zoom in box to see what’s focused better then I messed around with settings and it’s not. My MF assist is on but it must be something else.

Got the Panasonic G95/90 and the panasonic 8-18 2.4-4.0... a pain in the ass to make it focus on my face and on the "closer subject" at the same time, I feel like smashing it into the ground.

Hello Sir

Is Time to time focus hunting..

Thank you for teaching me on my to learn a little better about it your great help you're very good help 👍

Great video, thank you

Great video! I just got mine and am looking to get driving footage. Got some at 4k and had some blur when changing speeds. Hoping to try autofocus continous at a lower resolution helps

Broooooo you just saved my life loll! The video is so interesting i was having a lot of issues with autofocus on my g7! Thanks again i suscribed

thanks, just grabbed this camera open box from best buy for $375 plus tax. excited to get to learn how to use it

Great video. Still contemplating the G7 as my first camera. One thing to ask... I've seen so many videos complaining about the auto focus etc. If I was to shoot outdoor scenes in video or even indoor club type scenes. Can you not just set the manual focus to a mid point say and not really worry about it? It seems the complaints are always vloggibg close up headshot movements etc

Very helpful! Thank you!

top top video... thanks a lot buddie

I still cannot get the camera to focus on my face. My face is always blurry. I am using the same lens you demonstrated on as well. The worst is that while I am filming the in-camera monitor is so small that I cannot really check as I am filming, it's after I've finished and I am going to edit the video that I see all my footage is unusable. I just made some adjustments after watching this video, and ran a test but I am still blurry. I have one beauty video up on my channel and you can see what I mean.

really useful thanks

Thanks dude!

Hello sir.i just bought a G7 for school purposes.any video how to use manual photoshoot?, shutter speed and aperture and iso?

What's the best autofocus setting for continuous movement say filming a wedding?

BROOOOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU LIKE A TEACHER FOR ME !!! ♥

thanks !

I find that autofocus for me for some reason does not work once I press record. As long as it is not recording for some reason it works well. But once I press record it struggles to find the subject. I have to press the button halfway to get it to refocus but it does not follow the subject on its own. Any advice?

Hey, thanks for your content. I recently acquired a G7 and found you when searching for more information on how to use it well. I've done a lot more mobile photography as I have the Pixel 6 Pro but as someone who loves photography I'm finding phones, while they take great photos, can be limited artistically. Thanks for providing content to inspire me to keep learning with an actual camera!

Just what I was looking for. Overall I love the Panasonic MFT system, but can use all the help I can get to keep improving. Plus, it’s always great to have another good channel to come to. Keep up the great work.

So helpful for a newbie like me!
