Hello i’m Graham Houghton and welcome to today’s
video now today’s video is a how-to on how to connect your Panasonic Lumix bridge camera or
Panasonic Lumix mirrorless camera to a laptop which is running windows 10 or windows 11. now
this has come about because one user wanted to connect his camera to transfer the stored images
on the sd card to his pc rather than to take out the card from the camera and plug it into the
reader on his pc but you can also use this to sort of tether the camera to your pc so as you’re
taking pictures they will be transferred either in full size or a size that you can select to your pc
so you can actually use it for using as a tenor pc over wifi now it’s quite an involved process
so i’m going to try and set that up for you the reader asks about the fz82 which is the
same as the fz1000 so the fz1000 doesn’t have a touchscreen but i can use a hdmi output from
the fz1000 where unfortunately fz82 will not show you a hdmi output except in the play mode and
you actually need it in the recording mode so we’re going to look at the exact same wi-fi setup
using the fz-1000 as you’ll find on any other of the panasonic lumix cameras so i’ve got a laptop
here running windows 10 and i’m going to take you through the process of setting up the windows 10
uh computer to enable you to accept the wi-fi from your camera so it’s a bit involved so hopefully
i’ll take it slowly enough for you to follow so the first thing we want to do is
to have a look at our windows 10 pc and you can see here the desktop to make it
easier for you for you to connect the camera to the pc it’s advisable to first of all rename
your pc into something a little bit more easy as you’ve got to input this through the key
board of your uh camera with a touchscreen it’s not too bad but with a camera like
the fz1000 you’re using the menu operation and that is a bit more involved so first thing
to do is go into the settings of your windows 10 and go under system and then at the bottom of
that list you’ll see about and in that you’ve got the option here to rename this pc so currently
the name of the computer is desktop 616161 duv which you’d have to input into your camera to gain
access so what i’m going to do is rename this as gh in capitals and then one so now we’re renaming unfortunately
you’ve got to do a restart to enable this to operate so i’m going to do a
restart and resume the video in a moment now the next step is to create a shared
folder on our pc that we can share over the wi-fi network to our camera so we
can access it so let me go back to the pc and show you how you create
your network chat folder so with your final explorer under your network now
you can see that you’ve got the gh1 that you’ve created or that will be the name of your pc as we
renamed it in the first step i’m going to create a folder on my desktop which will be my camera
import so i’m going to go to the desktop and then in your ribbon bar at the top you’ve got
new folder so i’m going to create a new folder and then i’m going to rename it
and i’m going to put this was cam imports so that will be my folder that i
am going to drop all the files from either by copying them from the camera over the network
or as we tether the camera to the network so we’ve created the folder but now we
make the folder visible to the network so by clicking on that folder name and by um looking
at properties we can share the folder first of all and we need to share it so it’s under
my username my desktop camera import share it and we need to give access to
users now you can either create a new user and this will bring you up to the facility to
create another account so here we’re going to go manage another account add a new user and if you go to family and other users this
allows you to create a new user to the group so add someone else to this pc now normally
the account would use a microsoft account so we’re going to say i don’t have the permission
to do this so i don’t have the information so we’re going to add the user without a microsoft
account and we’re going to add a new user to this pc and we’re going to call it lumix because
that’s going to be the name of the camera etcetera that we’re going to connect it with normally you
would add the password here and we’ll just use pwd and pwd now unfortunately this procedure does
need you to answer the security questions it won’t let you do it without so we can go what
was your first pet’s name answer a what was your city we were born answer b and security
question three what was your childhood nickname answer c that allows you to add that user to the
group so you can actually now use it in the files so now we’ve got camera imports if we go
back to properties share we can now add that lumix user to this particular group so we add
now we need to add the permissions for that user so we want to have read and write permissions
we want to read them right from the directory so now go share now that’s not the end of it we
need to look at advanced sharing and put a tick in the share folder box and apply and click ok
then close so now we’ve got a shared folder on our desktop which can be accessed by anyone with that
access over the network so now we need to create the connection to that network from the camera
so we need to switch over to the camera and again using the fz1000 i’m going
to go into the wi-fi setup wi-fi function right we want
to create a new connection we’re going to be first of all sending stored
images in the camera so we’ll select that option we’re going to connect to the pc we’re going
to go direct and we’re going to use a manual connection now it’s now creating a hotspot
from the camera which the pc can recognize so what we need to do now is go back to the
pc and enter that information onto the screen so open up your network properties of your
windows 10 pc and you can now see that the fz1000 has now appeared on there so we just
need to click that and click connect now we need to add that security key so i’m
just going to enter the security key from the camera and then click on next
now the camera will try to connect to that you can see that it’s looking for a manual input so select menu set and this is the computer
we’re going to connect to so it’s going to be g h and now change over to numerical input gh1 and then set one of the things you might happen is that
your network discovery is turned off and mine is actually turned off at the moment so turn on
file sharing and connect to a private network so now under gh1 if i double click that you
should see the camera import and a shared drive so back on the camera you now see
that it’s looking for a username and the user that we created was lumix so
again we just need to change over to lower case so l u and i and set and now we go to
the password field and again to lowercase and we just did password with pwd so p w d and then set and then press next and now you
can see the folder that we had created on our laptop called camera imports so we’re going
to select that folder now it’s asking me to select the images for sending over to the
camera and you can actually change the size of the file that you’re going to send
across either send it in the original size uh jpeg or raw whichever you’ve shot and
you can actually delete any location data if you wanted to if you wanted to change that
you press your display button and it says do you want to set the original size or change it
and then you can see the options you’ve got for creating the size and aspect ratio of the file
that you want to send so in this case i’m going to send the original file over to my pc and it
will be in jpeg uh if i had so jpeg and raw then it would you could select the jpeg plus raw or
the raw file so i’m just going to select the jpeg press enter now i go over to set and now lastly do i want to send a signal
single file or multiple select so i’m going to select multiple files here then you can
use your cursor to select the file you want press menu set to lock that one in place then
menu set let’s just do one more menu set and then you can use the display button or the okay to send it across so if you had a touch
screen you could touch the display okay or use the display button i’m going
to tell you it’s going to take three minutes to transfer those files so across
to yes press enter and connections failed so we’ve got some facility here we haven’t set
up just going to recheck the properties on the file so sharing the file is is set to share
lumix has got read and write properties i’ll just click share for that done
and if we go to advanced sharing share this folder set and permissions we need to change
uh to full control and apply okay so now we should be able to access that file again so if you’re okay multiset
let’s just select a couple here now then display okay two minutes and now it’s
transferring those files across so it was a case of we again hadn’t set the right permissions for
that particular folder now you’ll notice on the pc if we just quickly go back over to the pc under
camera imports if we double click that you can see that it has now created a folder with today’s
date so this is under desktop of course and if we double click that we’ll see the two files that
we just transferred over there if i double click that it will open that file for us that was
a file that i sent across and the other one was the outside shot with the gopro now
we can actually save that destination of the camera so if we exit from that now
and then can register that as our current destination so we register it to the favorites
press ok it puts you in the network name so we’ve got gh1 as the network and i’m gonna add
here uh file transfer so i’m just gonna put um f t as file transfer and set that and that’s now
been registered to favorites now i’m going to uh terminate the connection i’m now going to
set up a second destination on the camera which will allow us to transfer files as
have been captured in the camera to our pc so back to the camera wi-fi wi-fi function and new connection send images while recording to pc again direct
manual connection now if we just go to the pc obviously as we come off the network
the pc is actually trying to acquire uh internet connection so we’ll go
back to our fz 1002 and click connect it’s now connected so if we go
back to the camera it’s again now asking us for a manual input so menu
set again we’re going to go to gh1 so g now if you’re doing this with the
touchpad on the camera it’s much easier i’m to do it by the keyboard to enable
us to capture the output over hdmi gh1 set and again it’s looking for our
username so again it was going to be lumix so i want to go to lowercase okay so lumix and then set and then it
wants a password which was lowercase again and we want p w d so that is the password for the user lumix set and then press next and you can see we’ve got
the selected folder again which is camera imports menu set image send again so again you can select whether
you’re going to use the original size or a scaled down size and they will be captured as the camera
takes a picture so we just need to go over to set the camera is now extended if i take off my
lens cap because i wanted a black background the pictures that i take now
with the cameras if i just shoot over in the studio here i capture that image and again you might briefly notice there is a r appears
on the screen when it’s sending that image over if we have a look at the pc
in our camera imports folder you can see those files that i’ve just sent
from the camera if you notice there were um i just hover the mouse over
the file you can see they are five megabyte files they were sending across quite
quickly so it is an instantaneous capture almost so those are the files that we
captured directly from the camera now we know that that’s working if we go back to
the camera and select the wi-fi function again and we want to select a destination now
from history and so from the history the last one on the stack will be
the connection we made to our pc use the right-hand arrow key or tap the i menu
on the screen to register to favorite and again it’s brought up the pc name or the connection
name and i’m going to add in there um direct capture so i’ll use dc direct capture and set so now that’s been registered to the favorite
so when i want to use the camera again i just go into wi-fi wi-fi function and select
a destination from favorite so there i’ve got direct file transfer and
direct capture so if i want to go direct file transfer now and just
select that the camera will connect go over to your laptop to make
sure that you’ve enabled it in the network connectivity there’s the fz1000
popped up again so it will connect over to the camera so it’s now asking us to select the files that
we want and again a multiple select i’ll select to three four five five files then press the display
key it’s gonna take four minutes proceed yes and you can see the speeder which is
travel transferring those files across to the camera and it says transfer complete so again exit from that file if i wanted to capture images again then a destination from
history or destination from favorite rather and i want to do the direct capture
again it will connect to the camera so it’s setting up the username and
password to access the network shared folder and it’s now asking me to set that the camera
will extend so i can actually take the pictures and if i look at a few shots around
the studio the three four five six so it should have now sent those six files
across the network so if we go back to the pc we can see the folders have just gone across and if i just check on the back
of the camera the last file try and find the file name before the uh
yeah one one three four six nine two so nine the last five was four six nine two and if we look
at the camera here it’s four six nine two so that was the last file so we know this has been working
correct you can see that was quite an involved process with the earlier versions of windows
such as xp it was much easier to file share and set permissions than it has been with windows
10 and 11 because microsoft are driving you to create a microsoft account rather than a local
account but if you’ve set up your local account you can actually do that yourself so you can see
it’s quite an involved process to set up the file transfer system from your camera to your pc if
you are just transferring files it’s quicker to take out the sd card and insert that into your
pc and copy the files across the only advantages in the file transfer where you are capturing the
files from the buffer and sending them over wifi before they go to the sd card so that’s the only
benefit as i can see for this particular operation
