Course Description

The G7 Guide is your road map to mastering video on the Panasonic G7.

I produced this video training specifically for budget minded filmmakers who want to harness the full power of this amazing little 4K camera.
No matter what you shoot, this guide has everything you need to take this small stills camera and turn it into a cinematic video shooting machine.

Awesome, great kick start for my future vlogging videos.

Caleb laid out steps and equipment simply and thoroughly. Would purchase it again, if I had to.

The best part of this course is it not only teaches you about how to setup & use the g7 specifically, but also teaches you about filming in general that you can apply to any camera or future shoot. There are amazing budget friendly recommended tools that you could use even for future cameras you may buy & even tutorials on how to use tools that have nothing to do with the g7 but apply to any shoot you may be doing, for $20 you get a guide on the g7 & a crash course on how to film a shoot. absolutely recommend buying this course if you are a beginner film maker or g7 owner. Its also worth noting that you get a ton of information in a very short hour & a half session, im incredibly satisfied with this purchase.

Through his YouTube channel DSLR Video Shooter, Caleb has become my trusted guide into what is, for me, the entirely new field of making videos (and on a tight budget). He guided my selection of camera (the G7) as well as lighting and sound equipment -- and also taught me enough about how to use them that I've received kudos (from my boss and others) for the results. I've watched A LOT of other YouTubers review cameras and related gear, and Caleb is the most rock-solid, down-to-earth, detailed, and interesting of the lot. This guide is more of the same, but even better. So thanks, Caleb! I bought the G7 with company money, but think I'll step up a bit to the G85 for my own personal rig -- so I'm looking forward to watching and studying that guide next.

If you are new to the Lumix G7 or just purchasing one, this should be the 1st video you watch. I was a bit overwhelmed with all of the features of this camera but after watching this i felt right at home! Everything is broken down well and you even get some affordable upgrade tips (EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE!). If you are debating just do yourself a favor and buy this!!!

This is exactly the type of Guide I have been looking for. The section where he goes through the G7 menus on setting up the camera for video is what I have been waiting for. I can never seem to find anyone willing to go through the small details of technology, until now. The budget shoot setup is another great section. I am a big fan of your YouTube Channel and really appreciate all of your hard work.

I still cannot find a book (or the like) that explains "How to" use the Panasonic Lumix G7. When I googled how to make videos on the G7, your instructional video came up several times. This course was exactly what I needed. Something to tell me how and where to start. NOT telling me this is how you shoot a video. I am just starting, no college classes about video or filmmaking. I just wanted to know to set up the camera so that I could start learning by doing. This is what your video course has provided. Now I feel confident to start taking videos, start experimenting and start with my next-level of questions.

Very helpful course for a novice like me who is just getting into making music video tutorials. I will look up more of your videos to learn more about what needs to be done in post production, but I feel this video gives me a great foundation in what my new G7 is capable of. Thanks Caleb!

I was impressed. I had my G7 for a few months. I've done some shoots and actually shot a short film with it. So initially I was skeptical that I would already know alot of the info already. However I learned quite a few new things from this guide. It was money well spent. I appreciate the work. Nice job. Thank you!

When I first got this camera, I had no clue how to use it. This course took me from a complete beginner to now being somewhat competent. I still have a lot to learn, but I'd say I now have an excellent foundation to build on.
