Panasonic Image App is a smartphone application that enables users to remotely control the shooting and playback functions of a Wi-Fi-compatible digital camera/digital video camera. The app allows users to watch the same image as on the Live View screen of their digital camera/digital video camera on their smartphone and control shooting and other camera operations as with a wireless remote controller. Users can also play back still pictures and videos recorded using their digital camera/digital video camera on their smartphone, copy them to their smartphone, and upload them to SNS sites. The app also allows users to implement continuous connection with a digital camera that has Bluetooth function and make Wi-Fi connections and perform remote operation just with their smartphone.

The app has additional functions for digital cameras, such as making settings to automatically transfer still pictures recorded with a digital camera to a smartphone and adding location information acquired with a smartphone to pictures recorded using a digital camera. However, the app has some limitations, such as not being able to remotely record videos from a smartphone with certain camera models and only being able to play back still pictures with certain camera models.

The app is compatible with Android 4.4 - 13 operating systems and requires a service user ID for Panasonic’s LUMIX CLUB to use the SNS upload functions or the Cloud Sync. Service. Users should also be aware that continued use of the GPS function can lead to a dramatic decrease in battery capacity when using the location information recording function.
