Ratings and reviews

Note: the newest version also requires the latest camera firmware to connect successfully! I am using this app exclusively for monitoring with my smartphone. And it is awesome and finally supports preview luts for VLog! While I'd wish for an HDR PQ preview (and being able to use Waveforms with other features simultaneously), this is still great!

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).

Whether the editing functions are any good or not it's moot. The app just refuses to connect reliable to my camera. Panasonic, you need to be a lot better than this when your cameras are as expensive as they are.
