After attaching the external flash (DMW-FL220, DMW-FL360, 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.
∫ Using the dedicated flash (DMW-FL220; optional)
Attach the dedicated flash to the hot shoe and then turn on the
camera and the dedicated flash.
Select [FLASH] on the [REC] Mode menu. (P56)
Press 3/4 to select the mode and then press [MENU/SET].
• While the external flash is connected, the following icons are displayed.
∫ When using other commercially available external flashes without
communication functions with the camera (DMC-G3)
•
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.)
External Flash (optional)
: External flash Forced ON
: External flash Slow Sync.
