Panasonic is updating its Lumix Tether application for Mac to make it easier to use some models of its mirrorless Lumix cameras as a webcam — but it’ll take a bit more effort than some other solutions, at least for now, via DPReview<\/em>.<\/p>\n Like the Windows version, the current solution for macOS is pretty hacked together. Panasonic is simply taking its existing Lumix Tether software (used for tethered shooting from a computer) and offering an update that removes the GUI elements from the live preview on the software by adding a new “Live View” with a clean video feed. That live view window can then be passed to a streaming app, like Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), and only then passed through to your videoconferencing or streaming service. If that sounds confusing, check out Panasonic’s video to get a better idea of how to set things up.<\/p>\n That makes it much more finicky to set up compared to Canon, Fujifilm, or Olympus; those webcam solutions allow for directly passing a camera’s output to videoconferencing software like Zoom or Skype.<\/p>\n The Mac version of the Lumix Tether application is also compatible with the same list of Lumix cameras as the Windows one: the DC-S1H, DC-S1R, DC-S1, DC-GH5S, DC-GH5, and DC-G9 models.<\/p>\n Panasonic knows that using the Tether application isn’t great. It’s a stopgap measure while the company works on a proper “Lumix Webcam Software” application, which will offer the same full-fledged webcam support that its competitors are offering. Unfortunately, it’ll still be some time until the real webcam software is out, with Panasonic promising a release at the end of September for the Windows version and the end of October for Macs.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Chaim Gartenberg<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSee Campaign: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/7\/14\/21323917\/panasonic-lumix-mirrorless-camera-webcam-streaming-mac-software<\/a>
