Re: USB A connectors

@penneck 

An AI search suggests the two ports are

  • Micro-USB (USB 2.0): This is the primary port for data transfer to a computer. Crucially, this model supports USB charging, meaning you can charge the battery while it is inside the camera using a power bank or wall adapter.

  • Micro-HDMI (Type D): Used for connecting the camera to a TV or external monitor to view your photos and 4K videos. Note that it does not support clean HDMI out for advanced live streaming setups.

This agrees with the Panasonic camera I own, it's slow but the USB cable which might have been included with the camera can be used. 

or

Buy a SD card reader and use that to copy data across

Re: USB A connectors

@penneck A very brief AI search produces:

The Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ82 (or FZ80/81/83) features a Micro USB 2.0 port for data transfer/charging and a Micro HDMI (Type D) port for video output. It supports wireless photo transfer via Wi-Fi and connects to PCs as a plug-and-play USB mass storage device.

So, RTFM would be my first advice, to confirm the above. And ignore HDMI as others have also inferred.

Secondly, if correct why not just RTFM and transfer via Wi-Fi?

The camera may well have been supplied with a suitable USB cable, Micro USB to USB2, which will work fine in a laptop USB3 port (usually with a blue strip). If not, buy one, job done.
