This can happen if you use ISO100

This. I've seen this myself with clipped highlights at ISO 100 when shooting in RAW (the in-camera JPEG didn't have this problem).

We'll never know until the OP replies and perhaps offers the Exif data. The native minimum ISO of the G7 is 200, and it takes a special effort to switch on extended ISO and select 100, but for what reason in that picture? If taken in jpeg, I would have just left the ISO in auto and possibly used high iDynamic or, alternatively, raised the shadow curve and lower highlights slightly. Or just use iAuto mode and let the camera do its thing, which it does superbly in that kind of situation. It might even have been advantageous to use some fill flash. None of those options should have resulted in pink blown highlights.
