Panasonic Lumix Cameras Wi-Fi Capture and File Xfer to Windows 10/11 PC's 

I can confirm that it still works in 2024. Super thankful for this tip sir

Thank you Graham. What an unbelievable mess. I would never have managed to get this working without your help. Panasonic should have a link to your video on their instructions, which I found quite useless. Best wishes, Steve.

Well done Graham, I really do thank you for your explanation and teach-in. What an unbelievable faff in 2022 for the simple transferring via WiFi of images to a PC! I have both Panasonic and Canon kit, Canon is an absolute simplicity to transfer files, Panasonic is a complete pain. I admire your resiliance and patience in going through this complex of instructions. I cannot believe that I am the only user who will in the future continue hard wiring for image transfer.

One thing I could not find anywhere: is there an option to "Select All" and transfer to pc insted of choosing them one by one? if you come back from a 2 weeks trip and took let's say a 100 pictures, that would not be an easy task to mark all of them one by one...

Wow! That has to be one of the most complicated things I've done on the computer. Thanks for the help!

对于您这样的年纪，却依然能够如此娴熟的操作数码设备。令人十分敬佩。我作为年轻人都在学习您的视频。祝您健康快乐

Thank you, that is exactly what I needed. Missed having this ability when I upgraded to Windows 10 from windows 8.1. Now I'm back in business.

Somehow it keeps saying my login and psw is incorrect I have created serval users it refuses to log on any of them 😢

Hey thanks for the explanation. I was just looking how to do this and it was all confusing. But you just explain it so clearly. Best wishes!

Your video is really good. Thank you for taking the time to make this and present it so clearly. From a usability standpoint, I was hoping for it to be a convenient alternative to transferring by card or SSD drive to save me all the plugging in and out. Instead, it transfers so slowly that it will never be viable. I'm often transferring tens of GBs from an SSD drive mounted on the camera. Plugging the camera-mounted SSD directly into my PC transfers around 350MBps. In contrast, this was going to take 50 minutes for 7 video files totaling 10GB (3.33MBps, which is worse than 100x slower). I don't understand it. My PC wifi can handle 2.5Gbps. I suppose it's a camera limitation.

Graham, you are a godsend! After spending quite sometime struggling with the manual, I resorted to RU-vid and this video had everything sorted inside ten minutes. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Thank for all your work, but sadly it does not seem to work with my FZ300. The camera does not show up in the available networks. I just keep swapping the SD card. Panasonic should find less complex way to connect to het wifi network or directly to a pc. Connecting to my phone or tablet works fine, but connecting to my PC either direct of via the network fails.

Graham - fantastic. I was really struggling with my new LX15 in getting my head round the Lumix's WiFi connection methodology, not helped by the fact that the manual made it seem even more complex! Your video however, made the rather convoluted methodology seem so straighforward. I would never have sussed it out otherwise. Thanks.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. This should let me use the Lumix GX85 that is connected to a telescope to transfer images to my PC with Sharpcap to do live stacking for EAA.

Thank you Graham for creating this video. Had I found this earlier, I wouldn't have spent hours trying to do the transfer on my way.

Windows 11 is a real pain. I could not get my FZ1000ii to connect, even following the steps given. However, it worked just fine on my Windows 10 computer. And, I'm a bit of a computer geek. You may also need to first enable SMB1 file sharing in additional features, disable IPv6 on your wifi card, and possibly downgrade network encryption from 128 bits to 40/56 bits. One can find how either through google or here on youtube. Yes, some of this is fairly geeky.

Well done Graham for going to all this trouble but why can't you just use the Panasonic link app to transfer files as you do on your phone

Oh my, I would have thought that this could be done with a couple of clicks! Far from it! Quite an involved process, but I'm sure that it will be easy by just following your step by step video. Thanks for figuring this out for us. It will save me a huge amount of time.

I love this man, thats why i bought hes manual for the FZ330. Another great video.

Thank you so much Graham. Without your phantastic howto tutorial I'd never had managed to get my pix by wi-fi on the computer. When does Panasonic create an easy-to-use WIN app like available for android? That might make life much easier.

Super Graham. Very clear instruction. I'm temped to try again, after failing for over 2 years!!!! Thank you for spending so much time on this. Any reason you created a new PC user other than for a simple short name with no spaces? Could you not have just renamed or used your main user account?

Hello, i have a Panasonic DMC-FS12 and when i try to move a image from the camera to the pc or vice versa. It says that is locked and can't modify. I tried everything but no dice, can you help me?

Why does this have to be so complicated?? I follow all the steps but then, before the files can be sent, a message shows: connection failed I rlly need to send these files, there's no other way I can send them I don't have an USB cable neither do I have an adapter 😐 I'm happy I have this camera, but the send settings could be a lot more user friendly😨

Thank you very much. I have been struggling with this for 2 years. I thought I had a broken camera :( Thanks to your manual it worked.👋💥🤩

Nice video thanks. Shane it's such a process every step of they way. LUMIX if you're listening, make a program to handle all this. I'm in technology for a living and this process will make me use cable instead

Hello, I have an FZ80, I can follow this up to the 8 minute mark, but get lost here. Sorry, old guy here. I cannot figure out how to get the screen shown to right. Your instructions are confusing at this point. What could I be doing wrong? Thanks for any help. Bob

BTW using an FZ330 - shouldn't make a difference though - hope you can help - also Panasonic ImageApp works perfectly so I know the wifi is actually working

Graham: THANK YOU! Your channel was the only one that helped me when I trying to figure out the damn Lumix software. One question I do have, though, is when I'm doing transfers of files, is there a way to add all of the photos in my camera to be transferred. When I do MultiSelect to transfer, I have to tap each one singularly. Seems like being able to just select all would be an option, but...??

When "send images while recording" is enabled, does the camera continue to send photos this way after a power cycle, or do you have to manually enable wifi and select the download location each time the camera is turned on? Thanks

Thanks Graham! Worked a treat. Excellent tutorial!

I have a Lumix DMC-FT30 cameraIt seems it is a discontinued model. It connects to my laptop with a USB cable. A few weeks ago I had no problem transferring photographs from my (digital) camera to my laptop. Now I can't and it seems that something is blocking my camera's access to the laptop.. So what has stuffed up my use of a perfectly good camera and perfectly good laptop which has the misfortune to run WIN10 and keeps getting automatic updates from Microsoft.

I’m stuck at the point after righting my pc name on the camera. It’s charging and taking for ever… What should I do?

Thanks Graham. Step by step. Excellent tutorial!

Hi Graham, still struggling with getting the wireless connection from the LX100 M2 to my PC. I've created a shared folder on the 'D' drive to receive photos from the camera. My PC 'sees' the camera and has connected to it but the camera won't connect to that shared folder on my PC. Is the 'D' drive the problem? Does the receiving shared folder have to reside on the PC's 'C' drive? Hopefully this is the last piece of the puzzle. Thank you for this great video, it was a big help to me.

Great work Graham. Would it be more adviseable to create the original folder in docs and then put a shortcut onto the desktop.

18;50; i choose 'connection from history'. Then it instantly connects without being able to change the username?! I got the question; 'disconnect?'Another thing is; I don't understand when I have to connect with the camera hotspot and when to connect with my regular wifi. Still I manage to create a connection, made a folder for the import of my pictures. Thanks a lot!

Great video. You made it super easy to follow along and get my cameras sending files to my laptop.

What a HUGE faff Graham!!! As you say, I would popped the card out and copied it 3 times by the time I got through that lot.

Still struggling in Windows 11, screens a bit different, and won't connect. I'll not let it beat me!!

muchas gracias me sirvio mucho para pasar unos videos de un trabajo de uyna lumix a mi computadora Gracias !!!!!

Hi Graham, at minute 14.22 you hit “exit” and it takes you to a list with an option to add this current connection to favourites. My device just turns back into picture taking mode and doesn’t give me this option. Then when I go back into wifi>select a destination from history, it only gives me my previous iPhone option, not the PC. Is there something else I can do? So tedious to reconnect each time, thanks

Your videos are so great - I'm a new camera user and have an FZ80 that I'm enjoying playing with. I named my "user" to share my folder with as "FZ80 Camera" instead of "lumix" like you did. I'm having an issue because I can't put a space in using the keys on the camera to input my username. Can I delete this user and create a new one?

Does anyone know why it wouldn't give me the option to tether my Lumix S5 directly onto my pc?

Not watched. Graham always gets a thumbs up. I'll save it for tomorrow.

Thank you so much Graham!! Very useful tutorial! There is a way to use FZ80-82 as a webcam in PC?

Thanks , i have a question is it also possible to tethering the FZ1000?

Thank you very much.

So much Thank you Sir!

fantastic Graham, this worked with my lumix S5, do u own an S5?

Excellent Graham, something to do on a rainy day! A silly question if you have a number of Lumix cameras can you use the wifi setup in each camera and save it as a favourite in each camera, hope this is clear?

Thank you for your help! ( Lumix GX8 same method!)

Great tutorial 👍🏼

Thank you Graham ! Very helpful 🙏

Hi Graham - excellent instructional video as ever but my attempts have been failing. Camera connects to wifi ok, get to "sending image 1/1 - 24 secs" Then says please wait - 2 mins later still says please wait. What's worse is when I turn camera off it still says please wait and wifi still connected - had to remove battery in the end. I'm sure settings are fine as followed instructions meticulously. Any ideas? (Also zoom button fix video was a life saver 😁)

thanks for this video, very helpful and saved me alot of trouble

Thanks a lot, work on Panasonic G7

Thanks for the video

Thank you for this. It's working great.

Thanks, so much!

its crazy that I have to use my sony image app to download from my Panasonic camera

I forgot the password I set, how do I reset the password?

When I started setting up an MS account, I stopped. At some point you won't even be able to do shit without a Microsoft account.

Nice, can you send videos?

Asking for password

Thanks you so much.

Thank you!!!!!🎉
