Selectable live stream methods

Wireless live streaming / USB-tethering (RTMP/RTMPS)

Easy wireless live streaming (RTMP/RTMPS protocol) by simply setting it up with the LUMIX Sync app (Android/iOS). Firmware version 1.1 adds the USB tethering function, which allows you to connect the camera to your smartphone via USB cable for live streaming. This makes it easier to ensure stable communication speed even in environments with a lot of radio interference and will enable streaming in 4K 30p/25p.

･Live streaming to the platforms that comply with RTMP/RTMPS is basically possible (Compatibility with all the platforms is not guaranteed.) There may be the cases where the live streaming is not possible when the service of the platform changes. For more information, please refer to the terms and conditions of the platform.
･Since the transmission speed of live streaming varies depending on the Internet environment, smartphone performance, etc., we recommend that you conduct a transmission test in advance.
･Android and Google Play are trademarks or registered trademarks of Google Inc.
･IOS is a trademark or registered trademark of Cisco in the U.S. and other countries and is used under license.

Wireless live streaming / USB-tethering (RTMP/RTMPS)

Wired live streaming (RTP/RTSP)

With Firmware version 1.1, IP streaming via wired LAN connection can be selected, increasing the convenience in indoor environments where highly stable communication is possible. By connecting the camera to a PC with a wired LAN cable, it is possible to control multiple cameras or stream high quality video and audio up to 4K 60p/50p. H.264 and H.265 codecs can be selected.

*A commercially available USB ethernet adaptor is required to convert the DC-GH5M2's USB Type C terminal to a LAN terminal. Compatibilities of USB ethernet adapter: https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/ethernet_adp/index.html

Operating Instructions

Note

(*1) About motion picture recording
- Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or higher when recording motion pictures in [MP4(under 28Mbps)].
- Use a card with SD Speed Class with "UHS-I / UHS-II UHS Speed Class 3 (U3)" when recording motion pictures with [MP4] in [4K] or [MOV].
(SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.)
- Video Speed Class 60 or higher is required for ALL-Intra 400Mbps recording. Use of SD Memory Card with Video Speed Class 60 or higher is recommended for C4K/4K ALL-Intra video recording.
- MP4 motion pictures with [MP4] in [4K]:
- When using an SDHC memory card: You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4 GB, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.
- When using an SDXC memory card: You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 96 GB or 3 hours 4 minutes in length, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.
- MP4 motion pictures with [MP4] in [FHD]:
- You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4 GB or 30 minutes in length, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.
- 4:2:2 10-bit recording is a recording mode for film production and the video needs to be processed on PC.
The original video cannot be played on standard TV, Blu-ray Disc™ recorder and Blu-ray Disc™ player.
It may cause problems such as freezing when played on these devices.
- When the ambient temperature is high or continuous recording is performed, the camera may stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.

(*2) For [C4K/60p] [C4K/50p] [4K/60p] [4K/50p] video output, use an HDMI2.0 cable that has the HDMI logo on it, and that is described as"4K compatible".

(*3) The camera may stop recording when used in lower or higher than recommended operating temperature: -10 to 40 degrees.

(*4) Firmware must be updated to version 1.1.
