Overview

Almost all modern digital cameras (including the Panasonic GH5) allow you to customize your camera's settings and save them to a file. The advantage of doing so is that you can restore these exact settings at any point in the future. There are a number of reasons why your camera's settings may have changed on you: its internal battery died, you changed settings and can't remember which ones, the student before you changed everything and you're lost (oh no! but fear not).

What you'll need

• Computer (laptop or desktop)
• USB-A to USB-C adapter
• SD card

Copy settings from web to SD card

• Open this document on a laptop or desktop computer. You could use one of the Hamel suites if you do not have immediate access to a computer.
• Insert your SD card into the GH5 camera (slot 1).
• Power the GH5 camera on.
• Connect the GH5 camera to the computer using the USB-A to USB-C adapter.
• When prompted to select the USB Mode on the GH5 camera, highlight PC(Storage) and press the Menu/Set button. The GH5 camera will then connect the computer to the SD card within the GH5 camera.
• Open the SD card folder (LUMIX) when it appears on the Desktop.

• Download this file.
• Unzip the file and open the folder. Inside the main folder is another folder "AD_LUMIX."

• Move/copy the "AD_LUMIX" folder to the root SD card folder. If one already exists, overwrite or delete it.

• Safely eject the SD card from the computer.

• Unplug the GH5 camera from the computer.

Load settings from SD card to GH5 camera

• With the GH5 camera powered on, press the "Menu/Set" button.

• Navigate using the camera dials to the Wrench icon (without the "C" superimposed).

• Scroll down and select "Save/Restore Camera Settings."
• Select "Load".

• Select "COMMARTS"

The settings should now be set. It may return you to a black screen—to get back to main display, press "DISP" button.

The SD card must be inserted into Slot 1 in the camera, otherwise the Save/Restore Camera Setting option cannot be selected and the following message will show.

Troubleshooting/Common Problems

• I put camera settings on card, but I do not see "COMMARTS" when I go to load them onto the GH5 camera.
  It is likely that you failed to put the "AD_LUMIX" folder into the root directory of the SD card. Reconnect the GH5 camera to the computer, and click on LUMIX when it appears on the Desktop. If you do not see "AD_LUMIX" when the SD card folder pops up, you know you have failed to put the settings in the proper place.
• The text on my camera is showing up in a different language. How do I change it back to English (or my preferred language)? If the text on your camera isn't in your preferred language, you can change the language back by following certain symbols. Open the menu by pressing the menu button on the right side of the camera. Next, select the "wrench" symbol, and scroll until you see a symbol of a face and a speech bubble with three dots. Upon selecting this menu option, you will see a list of languages from which you can choose your preferred language.
