Panasonic has released software that allows Windows users to live stream to several of its popular LUMIX cameras including the DC-S1H. The beta software requires Windows 10, a compatible camera, and connects to the PC using a USB cable.

Canon and Fujifilm have released similar software, and if you're a Sigma fp user, it's already built into the camera. Panasonic has adapted its LUMIX Tether software, which is designed for tethered shooting, and has added the LIVE VIEW mode. Doing so enables the camera view only so that streaming software including Zoom, Skype, and YouTube can read it. Users can choose to show or hide graphic items during USB tethering based on preference.
