Hands-free Selfies with your Lumix Camera
Create selfies and self-portraits using this fun and easy method with your Lumix camera. Totally hands-free!
If you can’t see this video, watch it on YouTube
If you have a Lumix camera, you can use the Lumix Sync App or the Panasonic Image App as a remote shutter release. But using my selfie method will give you hands free shooting, which is much better especially if you’re holding pets, children or other items in your shots.
