First of all get a neutral density filter on your lens so you don’t have to use f/16 in bright light. Then you can make exposure adjustments to the aperture manually or shoot in shutter priority mode for auto aperture.

There are also variable ND filters, but they do weird things to color.

I suggest on old legacy lens with manual aperture ring. You can get them “de-clicked” for smooth aperture changes. Some lens adapters have an aperture control ring built in as well.

I'd need a variable ND filter to make adjustments as I record video but if they do weird things to colour then they are of no use to me.

The biggest problem when recording video in the manual mode is sudden changing in light, such as panning to a dark area.

The G7 has many features and can be custom setup so I was hoping to either find a way to use auto ISO or set up one of the cameras control wheels to be used to adjust the aperture or ISO setting.

It was useful when older lens have a ring to adjust the aperture but old lens are hard to find and most use the camera settings for aperture exposure.
