∫ Settings on the external flash
• [PRESET]
– When setting to [PRESET] and
attaching the external flash, the aperture
value and the ISO sensitivity are
respectively set to [F2.8] and [ISO100]
on the camera regardless of the
recording mode. Set the external flash to
[AUTO] and set the same value as the
settings on the camera.
– We recommend setting to [PRESET] for
normal use.
•[MANUAL]
– When setting to [MANUAL], you can set
the aperture value, the shutter speed
and the ISO sensitivity on the camera
even if the external flash is attached.
– When setting to [MANUAL], set to the
Aperture-priority AE or the Manual
exposure on the camera and then set
the same aperture value and the ISO
sensitivity on the external flash. (The
external flash cannot control the light
adequately due to the change in
aperture value on Shutter-priority AE
and Program AE.)
• Some commercial external flashes have
synchro terminals with high-voltage or
reversed polarity.
Using such external flashes may cause a
malfunction or the camera may not
operate normally.
Be sure to use Panasonic’s external flash
(DMW-FL28).
• If using other external flash units, please
make sure the flash is designed for use
with a digital camera and the trigger
voltage is based on ISO 10330 (less than
24 volts).
• The available flash range is about
32.8 feet (10 m) in DMW-FL28. (When
setting to [ISO100])
• When attaching the external flash, the
shutter speed becomes 1/60th to 1/250th
in normal mode, 1 to 1/250th in [NIGHT
PORTRAIT] in scene mode. (P58)
• External flash mode is selected when
attaching the external flash to the camera
even if the external flash is turned off.
When you are not using the external flash,
detach it or set it to Forced OFF.
• When attaching the external flash, the
built-in flash cannot be activated.
• When attaching the external flash, the
camera will become unstable.
• Detach the external flash when carrying
the camera.
• When attaching the external flash, do not
hold only the external flash because it
may detach from the camera.
• When using the external flash and setting
the white balance to [ ] (Flash), finely
adjust the white balance. (P69)
• If you take pictures close to the subject in
Wide, a vignetting effect may appear on
the bottom of the recorded picture.
• Read the operating instructions of the
external flash for details.
This mode allows you to take multiple
pictures at a time when the external flash is
attached.
• Set [EX.FLASH BURST] to [ON].
• Press the Single/Burst Mode Button to
switch the burst mode setting.
• You can take up to 3 pictures by keeping
the shutter button pressed down.
∫ Burst speed
• Depending on the external flash you use
or the recording conditions, you cannot
take pictures in this mode or the amount
of light may become insufficient for the
second or subsequent pictures.
