Ratings and Reviews
Works well for me
I have used this app very successfully with my DMC FZ1000. Unlike putting the SD card in a reader, it enables me to view each photo in full iPad size while it is still in the camera, before having to decide whether to import or delete it. All good photos get backed up, poor ones deleted. Simple and effective.
It also works brilliantly to control the camera remotely from a phone or iPad. I set the camera close to a bird feeder and then controlled it from a distance, for some amazing close up shots. The software gives remote control of a huge range of the camera’s controls.
At first I had some difficulty establishing connection with the camera but now I find it straightforward and dependable.
Mr ocd
It is a pain having to keep setting the tz90 (U.K. model) up to use the wifi on the camera for gps and metadata each time you turn the camera on. My family member has an older Panasonic tz40 with gps built in.. why was it removed?? The app is ok to use, I find recording videos when connected to the app difficult because you can not use the zoom function on the camera. Syncing the gps data with the camera can be difficult-once you have taken whatever you have taken with what your phone gps says ( right or wrong). Transfer photo from camera to iPhone at least is a little easier but for me you have to change the iPhone to lumix to transfer photos from camera to iPhone ( if you want to do this)… in general the app is ok, but is a bit of a faff to keep having to link the camera to your phone to get gps data.. Panasonic please put gps back into the cameras itself. Maybe in the minority but works on the tz40
Clunky and outdated
I use an iPhone 7+ for this app and to say it’s slow would be a compliment compared to the state the app is in right now, going between modes usually requires me to continuously tap the icon until after several seconds it moves onto the next screen, also the app was obviously designed for the iPhone 5 and not changed since as it looks outdated and blown up on my phone, also don’t get why the live view when directly connected to the camera is so low quality but when connecting the camera to the same Wi-Fi network as my phone then it is at least a standard definition stream, it makes it very difficult to focus correctly and has resulted in a few of my shots coming out blurry. Given the amount of cameras this app covers and how much some people pay for those cameras then I really think Panasonic ought to give this app a major makeover. If you own a Wi-Fi enabled Panasonic camera then you may as well download it as it’s still a helpful app to have but don’t expect it to be a good experience.
