Hi all. I'm new to the forum but back in January this year I bought a lumix G7. I've noticed when shooting in 4k there is no sound recorded. Is this normal? Sound is on up until I press shutter release..then it goes off. Sound works fine in normal video. I've been through every setting but can find no reason why sound goes off. Grateful for any advice..Tia.

Is this in camera playback or when transferred to a PC or other device ? Have you perhaps activated silent mode which amongst other things mutes the audio playback , though using the electronic shutter for video is not a wise move Or if you are as daft as me , I once turned the playback volume so far down on my GX8 that it gave no sound , forgot I had done this and spent half an hour trying to "fix" the problem next time I used it , before it eventually clicked what I had done
