Just started thinking about using the WiFi capability of my GH3. All I need to do is allow the director to monitor, maybe on an, Samsung Galaxy Tab, what I'm "seeing" and shooting with the camera. What's the best way to do this with the GH3? THANKS!

I did a Google search on Lumix Link Help and this is the first search result:

Either Remote Recording for stills or Video gives you a realtime image.

That should do it! And I'm guessin' "I" still have control of the camera not just the remote device?

Yes but they can mess with you if they want. And if you get the hankering to start recording remotely over WiFi, know that you cannot STOP recording remotely. It records for a preset duration. Stills camera designers at play....Caveat Emptor.

That's what I figured. Thanks again!

Wi Fi with the GH3 doing photos is fine you can see after each picture and do another, video is a different story, once you start recording that's it, you can no longer see what's going on, if you want to stop recording you have to put in how long do you want it to record before you start or just turn it off on the camera later.
Pretty sure what I have read on the new GH4 you can see and control after you start the video.

Well bottom line, at this point, I'm not interested in the WiFi "remote control" features of the camera. I just want the client to be able to see, from a tablet, what I'm shooting and sounds like if I start rolling video they won't be able to....and as for this GH4 business...

... STOP IT!! LOL ;-) THANKS!
