Ratings and reviews

I mainly use the Lumix Flow app for the external monitor support. First off, I want to say that is this functionality is very seamless and worked flawlessly. However the information being displayed is very minimal and not really useful. For example when I'am using Autofocus, the display does not show any of the focus tracking and focus confirmation boxes. Perhaps there should be an option in the App to mirror camera screen with all the information (similar to HDMI output).

Useless. I am an amateur filmmaker but I learned so much with my Lumix, like it records 4 track audio in MOV even without XLR1 and these tracks have to be manually removed in post, no aspect ratio control during shoots - ratios have to be cut in post, poor battery life/performance, and Panasonic receive improvement requests regarding all of this but nothing happens. Pity, because Panasonic do so well over competitors in some areas, then fail in hidden places. GH6 is not supported for this app.

All Lumix apps are terrible. I don't know if it's my s5iix or just the app is that terrible, but every Lumix app is a constant pain to get connected to the camera. Sync, Lab, Flow, they are all a waste of time. you get it connected once, turn on off your camera and when it comes a time to connect again you will never get it connected. I have deleted connection on the camera and app multiple times, tried everything, and then just won't connect. So sick of all Lumix apps.
