External Flash (optional)

After attaching the external flash (DMW-FL220, DMW-FL360, DMW-FL360L, DMW- FL500: optional), the effective range will be increased when compared to the camera’s built in flash.

Preparations: Turn off the camera and close the built-in flash.

Attach the dedicated flash to the hot shoe and then turn on the camera and the dedicated flash

••Be sure to firmly secure to the dedicated flash with the lock ring.

Select [Flash] on the [Rec] menu (→57)

Press to select the mode and then press [MENU/SET] Press [MENU/SET] to close the menu

••While the external flash is connected, the following icons are displayed.

AUTO

AUTO/Red-Eye Reduction

Forced flash on

Slow sync./Red-Eye Reduction

Forced flash off

■■When using other commercially available external flashes without communication functions with the camera

••It is necessary to set the exposure on the external flash. If you want to use the external flash in Auto Mode, use an external flash that allows you to set the aperture value and the ISO sensitivity to match the settings on the camera.

••Set to Aperture-Priority AE Mode or Manual Exposure Mode on the camera and then set the same aperture value and ISO sensitivity on the external flash. (The exposure cannot be compensated adequately due to the change on the aperture value in Shutter-Priority AE Mode and the external flash cannot control the light adequately in Program AE Mode because the aperture value cannot be fixed.)
