Ignore all the wrong information you've received in this thread, and instead look at your camera manual. I don't know about the G7, but both the G85 and GX85 can do what you ask - it's called 4K Live Cropping.

I decided not to mentioned that (even though I'm aware of it) because the G7 doesn't have it (I checked that before I posted my original response).

And that feature only allows 20 or 40 seconds of footage, making its utility extremely limited in regular use anyways. In the general case, you will still have to downscale 4K footage out of camera.
