Tethering the G85

Hello.

I would like to know if the new Lumix G85 has the option to do tethering? I know the GH4 has the option and I don't know if I need to wait the GH5 next year for that reason.

Thanks!

I read somewhere (internet) that USB tether is not supported, but there's WIFI tether and it works.

Here's a Mac tutorial. As old and weird as this tutorial looks (old flash presentation loaded from a panasonic ftp storage), it works. It's what I'm using.

On youtube, I also saw a tutorial for PC. It's quite easy - using the WORKGROUP style sharing... just look it up.

I doubt the OP will see this, it's 1yr 3mths since he posted this, and he hasn't been back since :/

But the thread still comes up in searches and people still try now and then to tether their newer and newer panasonic cameras.  May this help someone else
