Official 12 Additional Scene Files For HC-X1

Download & Installation Instructions

To see what each of these might look like, and to learn what scene files are, check out our previous video explaining scene files for the Panasonic HC-X1.

As you already know, the Panasonic HC-X1 and the Panasonic AG-UX180 are basically the same camera. However, if you go to Panasonic's website and try to download the UX180 scene files and use them on the HC-X1, they will NOT work.

Luckily for you, I've fixed the files (if you have a UX180 get the files from Panasonic and follow the instructions in this video or on the blog) making simple changes to the code so that it works on this camera.

From Dropbox (click Direct Download):

Download Scene File #2 (Scene2.txt)

Download Scene File #3 (Scene3.txt)

Basically if you do this right, and always have SCENE1.TXT SCENE2.TXT and SCENE3.TXT, you will always be able to have access to all 18 at all times, despite only being allowed to store 6 at a time directly in the camera.

Let's go through step by step:
