Taking Pictures At Close Range - Panasonic DMW-FL360 Operating Instructions Manual

≥
We recommend taking a test
photo to decide the proper
exposure. Check the exposure
using the histogram function on
your digital camera. For further
details, refer to the operating
instructions of your digital camera.
≥
When the [TEST/CHARGE] button
is pressed, the [AUTO CHECK]
lamp lights, and whether or not the
firing is appropriate can be
verified. (This is possible only
when [AUTO] is established as the
flash mode.)
≥
If the surface (such as the ceiling
or walls) off which the light from
the flash is to be reflected is
coloured, this may affect the photo
images. Choose a surface which is
white or off-white as the reflecting
surface.
Taking pictures at close
range
≥
When the camera to subject
distance is 0.5 m to 1 m, the light
emitted from the flash will be
skewed. For this reason, while
holding down the bounce unlock
button, point the flash head
downward (7 degrees), and then
take the picture.
Point the flash head down
as far as it will go
(7 degrees downward).
≥
[ ] appears on the display
panel.
≥
Vignetting may be caused by the
light from the flash when the lens
has a long overall length or a
large diameter. Take a test photo
first, and then take the picture.
≥
Use the flash in this way only for
close-up photos. If you keep the
flash head pointed down during
regular photo taking, the light
emitted from the flash at the top of
the screen will be insufficient.
