How can I pair my Lumix Camera with PhotoSync to transfer photos/videos or enable remote shooting?

After successful configuration you will be able to transfer photos / videos from your Lumix camera to your iPhone / iPad over Wi-Fi. PhotoSync also enables shoot & transfer(wirless tethering): Photos & videos are transferred to your iPhone / iPad right after shooting. Optionally also immediate transfer to remote locations (computer, NAS, cloud) can be configured and photo booth support over HDMI & Airplay to a big TV screen is possible. You can connect your iPhone / iPad directly to the camera's Wi-Fi network, an existing Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot.

Requirements

Optional

  • A Wi-Fi network or mobile hotspot (required for shoot & save to remote targets like computer, NAS or cloud)

Step 1

Open the Wi-Fi menu of your camera and select “Wi-Fi Function” and confirm your selection either with the Menu button or use the touchscreen (if available on your camera).

Attention

If you want to use Shoot & Transfer (wireless tethering) select the "Send Images While Recording -> Smartphone"instead of "Remote Shooting & View"

Shoot & Transfer immediately transfers photos to your iPhone/iPad right after pressing the shutter button and optionally also to remote locations like Computer, NAS and Cloud.

Step 3

Now you can connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot of your camera. If you want to instead connect to an existing Wi-Fi network, press the "DISP" button and change the connection method.
