GMonitor is a simple Field Monitor application for Wifi capable Lumix cameras like the Lumix G6,7,81,85, GX8, GX80/85,GH4/5. Simply enable wifi on the camera and connect the app with camera. After connection you can view the live view fullscreen on your iPhone or iPad. Caution for GH3 users - as reported by some users there is no live view during recording on some GH3 models. This is a bug of the camera. It seems that not all GH3 models exhibit this bug. You have the option for different display modes including anamorphic desqueeze. Also it is possible to display 1:2.35 crop marks. If Peaking or Zebra is enabled on the camera you can also view it on your iPhone/iPad As the Lumix cameras only support 640*480 resolution over the Wifi connection the image is scaled on your device.
