Pros and cons of Panasonic Image App app for iPhone and iPad

Panasonic Image App app good for

Please? My DMC-ZS40 video plays just fine on my iPhone 6+. You dont have to guarantee everything is compatible, at least let those of us who invested in your cameras to get the full benefit we had we we bought them.

The app for the most part is easy to use, but would be much better if on the iPhone 6 Plus you had full-screen video preview. I have been using the set up with my DJI Ronin or camera cage as a field monitor. Still usable but would be much better if it was fullscreen and included focus peaking.

The ONE feature Im looking for is to be able to start the Ustream broadcast with the remote!

Thank you for the V-Log L bug :) i succesfully activate him for Free Sorry Dev you will lose your job ):

You need to have the Panasonic GH4 profile installed for it to work. If you remove it, you HAVE to instal it again in order to connect. Check to see if you have it under Settings - General - Profile - GH4-. If you have no Profile option, that means it’s NOT installed. Been able to connect fine almost every time with it running on the 5S. Some bugs - the burst capture functionality (icon with multiple overlapping rectangles) sometime lags behind. I will press it, then it waits for 5-10 seconds, and only THEN it fires the burst. Maybe I’m too far from the camera? Or just buggy code. When I walk away from the camera to about 20-30 feet, it does work, but everything is delayed by a split second. Don’t know why it works like that. Please keep updating this app for iPhone 6 and iOS 8, because it’s quite useful when you need it, even though it’s not the most-used feature of my GH4.

When it did work, it worked great. I did the most recent update and reloaded it, now it wont play back any videos. Tried deleting and reloading a couple of times....still wont playback, just continually loads.

Some bad moments

It would be nice if it was possible to get this app to work but you know that is absolutely Impossible. If it actually connected, im sure it would be very useful.

The app doesnt work anymore after the 09/09/2013 update. Black screen. (iOS 6.1.2) What is the point in having a wifi camera if we cant use it with the phone. Very disappointed in Panasonic products. Waiting for an update as of 23/09/2013 or put back the old working version.

Hi, Im desperately looking for a "select all" button to avoid having to click on each of my 500 photos to save them on my iPad... Any idea for a solution? Thanks a lot

Since last update (1.9.3) its not working with iPhone 4s. The phone can connect with my LX100 camera, but the app does not work anymore.

Cant connect to iPhone 5. Can connect through system settings, but this cant connect to a ZS30.

A bit hard to give this app more than one star as it will not download. Does it really exist?
