Panasonic Image App user reviews :

Remote shooting and display picture on my S4 I love the remote shooting feature and able to display picture inside my memory card. I would like to if it can playback the video on the smartphone, and allow to transfer more than 10 pictures at a time to my smartphone

Great concept I would give 5 stars nut the images sharing settings don’t work too allow sharing directly to Gmail. Any fixes available?

Dis app ointing expected to be able to view images / video on my TV through HDMI and being able to use my smartphone as a remote to scroll through the pictures / navigate to video’s. But when wifi is enabled the HDMI is disabled.

Pretty lousy Continuously looses wifi connection to the camera. Control doesn’t really work. Very basic, could use more features. But first: improve quality!

Useful app but a couple of annoyances App is pretty good but I have found that it isn’t possible to do a bulb exposure through it. Also there is a bug with the GPS integration. When I quit the app the phone keeps updating the gps location at the intervals set in the app. This causes the phone battery to run down quickly, especially if the update interval is set to 5 seconds. I have to reboot my phone to stop it.
