Unlike more all-in-one video-streaming/webcam software, the Lumix Steaming (Beta) software is essentially a USB tethering app with remote live view capabilities an additional desktop streaming or recording application is required for video streaming. Built on their existing Lumix Tether software, this new streaming application allows for USB-based tethering of select Lumix mirrorless cameras but allows for a remote, clean 'Live View' of the camera's screen - without GUI overlays - for video-streaming purposes. The following major functions are available with this application. With it, you can copy images into your smartphone, take pictures from your smartphone by remote control, and do more. Last month Panasonic released a beta version of a new Lumix Streaming app for Windows PCs, and today they've announced and released a beta version for macOS users as well. The Panasonic LUMIX Sync application software allows you to operate a Panasonic digital camera supporting Wi-Fi with your smartphone.
Panasonic has announced a handful of software announcements designed to extend and improve the functionality of a variety of Lumix mirrorless cameras, including a Mac version of their tethered streaming software, an upcoming new piece of software designed specifically for webcam functionality, as well as an upcoming firmware update.
