Default Panasonic SD Card Structure
Where Panasonic puts your raw files vs proxies and metadata:
LUMIX_SD/
└── DCIM/
└── 100_PANA/
├── P1000101.MOV # 6K Open Gate 3:2 V-Log
├── P1000102.MP4 # 4K 60p 10-bit
└── P1000103.RW2 # Lumix RAW StillWhy Panasonic SD cards create post-production chaos
- 6K Open Gate 3:2 aspect ratio: Non-standard sensor readout requires organizing anamorphic and vertical crop takes.
- Direct USB-SSD recording: External SSD dumps can mix operating system cache files with raw video takes.
- Real-time LUT baked-in clips intermixed with flat V-Log footage.
