Re: Can Lumix G7 "downscale" 4K to 1080 video in the camera ?

As others have said, no the G7 can't do that.  I'll go farther to say I do not know of any camera that can do that in camera.

Many people who shoot 4K video do it so that they can extract a lower res section of the movie with after-capture "panning".  Remarkably smooth panning, since it's software controlled.

I'm sure the same PC software that can do that can just downsample to 1080p.
