YIKES.... Why is it so darn hard at times to connect my GX85 to my iPad? But finally, with your help i'm up and running - Thanks, Marlene. I have been messing around for almost an hour on my GX85. For some reason, I could not get past the Lumix Club Menu setup - like where and what is that? Anyway, I finally was able to set up the WiFi feature and get it going and saw the connection on my iPad - Hallelujah. WHOOPS - Guess I did not move fast enough and my camera locked on the WiFi and would not stop. Had to remove the battery. Anyway, all is well now and connected 🙂

Dear Marlene, thank you for the explanation and for the precision of showing each item that is important in the steps. Big hug 😊😊

[revon]

Thanks, Marlene. Concise and comprehensive, as usual. Also, I love that shirt!

Great tutorial as usual! I downloaded the app a few weeks ago and tried it out. I am very pleased with it. BTW, your videos on the 100-300mm lens persuaded me to get it for Christmas. I really want to get into more birding. May you have a wonderful holiday season!

Been using it for years doing family portraits. Put the timer on for the phone and get set. You can immediately check the photo and see if it looks good.

So cool. I don't have a Lumix but have been thinking about how to use my camers remotely to take bird pics. Seeing your remote camera set ups is helpful.

Best tutorial than Lumix channel an at least we can comment to ask questions😊

[stevehoge]

Glad to see Lumix Sync app is also compatible with the new G9ii :) Just wish they would update it (or the camera firmware) for compatibility with my old GX-9!

Thanks Hielema, still here, a year after your video, its a great help! I found out what has confused me, is the term wifi: I didn't know if it was going via my home wlan (no good in the field!) or a direct connection to the camera. But I found out that if I start the setup on the camera (and not on the phone), choose wifi > function in the menu (as you do), it actually starts to a local wifi connection directly to the phone. Then connect the phone manualy to the G9 network and it works after a couple of minuts. Maybe the phone finds a stronger network under the proces and disconnects from the G9 network. But connecting manually again helps. I hope others find this useful too:-)

Great video!! Any idea what resolution the preview video is? The old app had pretty low resolution. Can you now download video? Thanks!

[Dave_E]

Just downloaded the image app and connected the phone. Love it! I was thinking of getting a remote control first but then I remembered that camera has a wifi function and thought I'd check it out before spending money. Glad I did as I hate spending on things I don't need! Only gripe is I wish they would improve the frame rate of it as it's quite slow! Maybe with G9 MK2 they might improve the wifi performance enough to be able to use monitor function wirelessly to shoot video with decent refresh rate! Fingers crossed!!

Hi. Great video. Can you send photos to smartphone WHILE you are taking them?

[fryguyshvifty]

Thanks as always Marlene. :) An early Merry Christmas to you!

[somethingontheroad]

Great explanation. Thank you for that. What is the advantage of the Synch App vs. the Image App?

[sue.Hoo]

Very useful and easy to follow, as always, thanks Marlene 👍

[harryniedecken]

Thank you for the information and videos. I have a G9 and a PL 42.5 lens and would like to do some simple video. Could this apl be used to record the audio from a lav mic to combine with the video? Thanks

[gcprost]

I enjoyed your video. I have never really used this app. I do a lot of streaming with multiple cameras. My streaming system doesn’t like the signal coming out of my Ninja V or my HDMI splitter but it is difficult to operate the close up camera without a monitor. This app allows me to monitor the camera without touching the HDMI signal coming out of the camera.

[DrWasim]

Thank you! When you touch to focus, does the focus stay looked there?

[kevinsims]

Great video - as always! Is there anyway to change/specify the destination folder on the mobile device that the transferred files will go into? Other than just the camera roll? Thank you.

Hi... Thanks for all. In your debt again. I've transferred like this, but not remote shooting. Were you going to make a 12-60 Leica lens review video...?
