Panasonic Image App Overview
What is Panasonic Image App?
The Panasonic Image App is a mobile application that enables users to remotely control the shooting and playback functions of a Wi-Fi-compatible digital camera or digital video camera using their smartphone. The app also allows users to upload their photos and videos to social networking sites.
Features
- Live View: Users can watch the same image as on the Live View screen of their digital camera/digital video camera on their smartphone and control shooting and other camera operations as with a wireless remote controller.
- Playback: Users can play back still pictures and videos recorded using their digital camera/digital video camera on their smartphone. They can also copy them to their smartphone and upload them to SNS sites.
- Continuous Connection: The app allows users to implement continuous connection with a digital camera that has Bluetooth function and make Wi-Fi connections and perform remote operation just with their smartphone. It also allows users to apply location information to recorded images and easily perform automatic transfer of images.
- Automatic Transfer: Users can make settings to automatically transfer still pictures recorded with their digital camera to their smartphone.
- Location Information: Users can add location information acquired with their smartphone to pictures recorded using their digital camera.
- Compatible Operating Systems: The app is compatible with iOS 9.3 – 15.
- Notes: Users should note that Bluetooth function can only be used with smartphones equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 and above (Bluetooth low energy technology). When using the location information recording function, high accuracy location information cannot be acquired with the iPod touch or the Wi-Fi version of the iPad that is not equipped with a GPS sensor. Continued use of GPS/Bluetooth running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Huge update! New features not listed
The latest update has finally made this app awesome. I first tried using it with my GH5S about two months ago and it was basically worthless since other third party apps were doing a better job. No video transfer, no full screen, constant "camera busy" message in the middle of the screen. It was terrible. BUT FINALLY is a great app! Tons of the features I wanted are here now. There's full screen mode, it seems like everything you can do ion camera, you can do in the app. Not just adjust settings, but full navigation of menus and interaction with pop up windows (like for creating time lapse videos). You can finally transfer videos to my phone directly instead of just photos. I haven't finished fully trying all of the intricate details but so far it's a huge improvement for the GH5S. Why didn't Panasonic include all these details in the description of the latest version?

Works elegantly/flawlessly as described
I was at first skeptical downloading this app after seeing the less than stellar ratings. It works flawlessly as described—and contrary to the problems voiced and encountered by others. READ the instructions and you’ll be rewarded: #1) link your iPhones with the direct WiFi link shown on your LUMIX / PANASONIC camera , #2 enter the longish password shown on same - after one connection, all subsequent sessions will automatically connect without reentering, and, #3 this should prompt the camera to connect to your phone showing all photos that can be transferred , #4 transfer your camera photos to your iphone by selecting them. The above steps work as flawlessly on my ipad.

Will not connect
At first I couldn’t figure out how to use this. But I finally figured it out and it’s pretty awesome. Just follow the steps perfectly and you’ll get it I kept running into connection issues but if you have good WiFi this app shouldn’t be an issue. I don’t have a computer so transferring photos through WiFi has changed my life! Love it. I think this app could use a little work to make it nicer but over all it’s a good app.
