Panasonic's interface specifications for AW-UE150/HE145 (2022), AW-UE100 (2022, producer) and AW-UE160 (2025) list a settable Camera ID command (OSJ:F4) under tracking-data output, while the AW-UE150 operating manual (2025) says the FreeD Type D1 Camera ID field 'Always stores FFh'; the vendor documents conflict on whether Camera ID is configurable. None of the UE100/UE160 documents read gives a field-by-field FreeD mapping. Curator qualifications: UE100 spec (S2) and excerpted manuals (S4, S5) not refetched. Behaviour on hardware untested; firmware versions not stated. Document reading only; no camera or tracking output tested. Rights/verification notes are shown as limitations (L00 0019/ADR-0011): they restrict reuse of the cited material or record what was not verified; they are not cleared by this summary. Limitations: Document reading only; no camera or tracking output tested. [rights_conflict_record] documented_conflict: Camera ID configurable (spec) vs always FFh (manual) Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
