Overview
--------
This directory contains Panasonic PV-DC1000 and PV-DC1580 gPhoto
libraries. In Europe, these models are known as NV-DC1000 and NV-DC1580
respectively. To avoid confusion we simply write DC1000 and DC1580.
Both libraries are based on dc1000 utility, written by Fredrik Roubert
and Galen Brooks. Despite similarities in the two protocols there are
two separate libraries, for DC1000 and DC1580 models respectively.
From the source code of Michael McCormack's Nikon CoolPix 600 library
for gPhoto1 it follows that DC1580 and Nikon CP 600 use the same
protocol. As of 28-th July, there are no reports if this Nikon model
works or not with DC1580 library.
