Lumix G7 and External Monitor

Anyone know if the G7 outputs a video feed to an external monitor during video recording ?

Thanks

No, it can only display footage on an external monitor during playback.

You can, of course, use the wifi imaging app for a monitor.

Hi. Do you know if I can use the image app for the G6? Tried on laptop but having problems (using an android emulator, but think maybe the problem is its just not compatible)

What is the version of your Image App?

Not a G6 user, but so far Image App supports all wifi capable Panny cameras I am using.

TBH I have problem to get my camera connected to my desktop computer (I suspected the non English version of my Windows might made my connection very difficult). I gave up to do it many years ago.

But I have no problem to connect my Pannys to smartphone/tablet (all Android based) through wifi and operated remotely by Image App.

Do you have a smartphone to try it? If you are running Android 10 or newer, better have Location switching on otherwise Image App might not connect to the camera. This never happens to Android 9 or earlier versions.

If you still have problem, better start a new thread instead of using this zombie thread.
