question

Can this stream live to facebook?
Asked by: Anonymous
The VIXIA can upload to it's video wirelessly to social networks. However, it can only do this with recorded video and not in real time. The Panasonic HC-V770K Full HD Camcorder B&H # PAHCV770 can live stream in real time. Performance depends on the internet connection; there may be latency of a few seconds.
