GH3 Gh3 App

There is a 'Lumix Link' app but it doesn't work properly with the GH3 at the moment so I imagine a revision will be on the way. Especially with the rate the GH3 will sell.
 
Maybe not surprising, but a huge disappointment nonetheless. There goes a nice director's ipad/monitor. This devalues the point of the whole Wi-Fi connectivity by about 95%... it just becomes a gimmick now. I held out hope that somehow Pana could pull out a miracle here with a firmware update, but it looks like the whole GH3 Wi-Fi feature was a stepchild in this camera. Oh well, maybe by GH5 they can get it right. Pity - major missed opportunity.

Well, I would think that having to stream live video from the camera itself would significantly shorten battery life.
 
Not surprisingly it appears live monitoring of video is not possible over WiFi.
Huh? Weird! This recent video using the pre-release firmware had confirmed that it would work. Does it only work before you start recording, or is it a feature that Panasonic pulled at the last minute. For those of you hoping for a cheap monitoring solution though, keep in mind that even if this works there will be a short delay.

 
I have the Lumix Link working with my GH3 but with an Android phone.

Are you monitoring video on the app while the camera is recording footage?

I didn't see that option in the manual, but only breezed thru it quickly.

As to the demo on YouTube the square aspect ratio makes me think he's in a stills mode.
