Panasonic DMC-G2K operating instructions Adjust the flash output, Applicable modes

Advanced (Recording pictures)

•When you use certain lenses, light from the flash may be blocked or fail to cover the lens field of view, causing dark areas to appear in the resulting pictures.

•When taking a picture with the flash, we recommend removing the lens hood. In some cases it may not allow the scene to be illuminated properly.

•It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the access indication disappears.

•The Red-Eye Reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away from the camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.

•When you attach an external flash, it takes priority over the built-in flash. Refer to P177 for the external flash.
