Using the External Flash

If you use an external flash, the available flash range increases compared to the camera’s built in flash.

∫Using the dedicated flash (DMW-FL500; optional)

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

4 Press the shutter button halfway to set the selected flash setting.

•You can also set the selected flash setting by doing the following:

–Pressing []

–Not operating the camera for a few seconds

∫When using other commercially available external flashes without communication functions with the camera (DMC-L1)

•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 AE mode [ ] because the aperture value cannot be fixed.)
