VIERA Link (HDMI) (HDAVI Control™)
What is VIERA Link (HDMI)?
 ●
VIERA Link is a function that automatically links this camera to VIERA Link-
compatible devices by connecting HDMI mini cables (optional) for enabling easy 
operation with the VIERA remote control. (Some operations are not available.)
 ●
VIERA Link (HDMI) is an exclusive Panasonic function added to the industry-
standard HDMI control functions known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics 
Control). Operation is not guaranteed when connecting with non-Panasonic HDMI 
CEC-compatible devices. Refer to your product manual to verify compatibility with 
VIERA Link (HDMI).
 ●
This camera supports VIERA Link (HDMI) Version 5. This is the latest Panasonic 
standard that also supports previous Panasonic VIERA Link devices. (As of 
November 2011)
 ●
Always use a genuine Panasonic HDMI mini cable (optional).
 ●
Cables that do not comply with HDMI standards will not work.
 ●
If you are unsure whether or not the TV you are using is compatible with VIERA Link, 
read the operating instructions for the TV.
 ●
If the [VIERA Link] setting on the camera is [ON], operations via the camera buttons will 
be limited.
 ●
Ensure that the television you are connecting to has been set up to enable VIERA Link 
(HDMI) (consult your television operating instructions for details).
