∫ Settings on the extra flash
• [PRESET]
–When setting to [PRESET] and
attaching the extra flash, the aperture
value and the ISO sensitivity are
respectively set to [F4] and [ISO100] on
the camera regardless of the recording
mode. Set the extra 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 extra 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 extra flash. (The extra
flash cannot control the light adequately
due to the change in aperture value on
Shutter-priority AE and Program AE.)
• Some commercial extra flashes have
synchro terminals with high-voltage or
reversed polarity.
Using such extra flashes may cause a
malfunction or the camera may not
operate normally.
Be sure to use Panasonic’s extra flash
(DMW-FL28).
• If using other extra 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 10 m
(32.8 feet) in DMW-FL28. (When setting
to [ISO100])
• When attaching the extra flash, the shutter
speed becomes 1/30th to 1/250th in
normal mode, 1 to 1/250th in [NIGHT
PORTRAIT] (P74) in scene mode.
• Even if the extra flash is turned off, the
camera may enter flash mode when the
extra flash is attached. When you are
not using the extra flash, detach it or
set it to Forced OFF.
• When attaching the extra flash, the built-in
flash cannot be activated.
• Do not open the built-in flash when an
extra flash is attached.
• When attaching the extra flash, the
camera will become unstable.
• Detach the extra flash when carrying the
camera.
• When attaching the extra flash, do not
hold only the extra flash because it may
detach from the camera.
• If you use the extra flash when the white
balance is set to [ (Flash)] finely adjust
the white balance depending on the
picture quality. (P82)
• 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
extra flash for details.
