Control your GH3 from a Web Browser - Now with video !

  • Hi all, can you help me out?

    I am looking for a way to read the current aperture value of the GH5 via Wifi (browser?).

    It must be possible as the apps out there notice any changes made directly on the camera... But "/cam.cgi?mode=getinfo&type=lens" is not sufficient.

    Thank you in advance!

  • I can post a few projects that i worked on that were inspired from this initial discussion: 1) a driver for ASCOM platform that allows to integrate lumix cameras over Wifi in the astrophotography setup. This runs on windows - https://github.com/totoantibes/LumixCameraAscomDriver 2) an improvement (?!) on cloudnein PY script for home security. https://github.com/totoantibes/LumixSecurity 3) an inclusion of Lumix in libgphoto2 camlibs https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2 for those that are more unix focused.

  • Wow, i only found this great research & code after having bought a G9 and am about to sell my GH3. I used a HDMI capture box to use the GH3 as a webcam...

  • hey, anyone still interested in controlling Panasonic Lumix Cameras over Wifi? I adopted this script and made some improvements, it works with new cameras like Lumix S1, Lumix Gh5, Lumix Gh5s, and soon also Lumix S5IIX (need to handshake first i think).

    You can tweak many parameters (unfortunately not yet color temperature in Kelvin and some color shifts, this seems to be submitted through picture protocol ??!! from Lumix Sync App) and i made a multi camera control surface where you can add as many cameras a you like. Some values are same for all types of cameras, some are unique, so i tried to hard-code them depending on your camera but it´s too much work. better would be to start with a more powerful enviroment where you can parse the camera XML replys and get possible menu-entries from there. Also i want to add functions so you can set all cameras to same settings, sync recording start/stop or take fotos on all cameras at same time.

    if anyone is interested to get involved, please write below and i will start a new github repo since the old one was archived. cheers from Germany Christoph

  • Dear Christoph,

    I have a G9 with the latest firmware. Do you have a handshake for that? I'm currently building a project that needs automated picture taking, the WiFi http method here works with my GX80 but I'd like to use the higher quality G9. I only need to shoot individual images and get a response acknowledging the picture was saved.

    Thanks!!

  • Artworkfoto, I would be very interested in seeing if I can get it to work with my s5ii!
