Panasonic adds streaming capability to LUMIX software
Panasonic Consumer Electronics Co. has jumped on the trend for still camera makers to add streaming capability to their lines, following the actions of Canon and Fujifilm. Panasonic released “LUMIX Streaming (Beta)” June 7, 2020; this is a Windows beta software program derived from the current “LUMIX Tether (Ver.1.7)” with an additional display option for situations where this software can be used for live streaming.
As “LUMIX Streaming” is software originally designed for tethered shooting, GUIs such as a focus area mark as well as control panels are displayed with live view images on the PC monitor during USB tethering. In response to customer demands, LIVE VIEW mode has been added on “LUMIX Tether for Streaming (Beta)”, enabling displaying camera view only (without the customary LIVE VIEW GUI elements). Users can choose to show or hide these graphic items during USB tethering.
“LUMIX Streaming (Beta)” is provided as a pre-release version that is currently still under development.
Compatible models: DC-GH5, DC-G9, DC-GH5S, DC-S1, DC-S1R, DC-S1H
