Hi,

Thanks for the clarification and further comments.

By the way, with regard to the WiFi, I too am wondering as to its usefulness. My reason being, that it appears that you can't transfer raw files using the GH3 WiFi feature. That seems daft; it shouldn't need a firmware update to remedy the situation as the capability should have been there from the get-go. The OM-D, on the other hand, by way of it's Eye-Fi compatibility and Eye-Fi menu allows for the transfer of raw files via WiFi.

I guess the abiity to control the camera remotely is so as to place the camera in dificult to access areas, e.g. up at the ceiling, and still get your shots. Plus I hazard a guess that Panny see the GH3 as the mFT equivalent of a Canon 1D or Nikon D4, and the CaNikon cams have this remote control capability; I guess it's Panny's way of reducing to an absolute minimum the need to use a traditional DSLR.

You can use WiFi to transfer RAW

It will transfer RAW, it just won't show the RAW file on your phone/pad after taken. This might have to do with file size and speed or RAW conversion.

I'm glad they added high end SLR features to the camera. Even if there are a few things I'm not sure I'll ever use, it doesn't hurt to have them at this point.

So if the raw files are being transfered to one's Android/iPhone, but it doesn't show (I take it you mean there's no image view?) how does one tell the raws are transferring? Is there some indication?

And I fail to understand why the app can't simply show the imbedded JPEG preview of a raw file

Thanks in advance.
