ª About PRESET/MANUAL on the
external flash
• When setting to [PRESET] and
attaching the external flash, the
aperture value and the ISO sensitivity
are respectively set to [F2.8] and
[ISO100] on the camera regardless of
the recording mode. Set the external
flash to [AUTO] and set the same
value as the settings on the camera.
• We recommend setting to [PRESET]
for normal use.
• When setting to [MANUAL], you can
set the aperture value, the shutter
speed and the ISO sensitivity on the
camera even if the external flash is
attached.
• When setting to [MANUAL], set to the
Aperture-priority AE or the manual
exposure on the camera and then set
the same aperture value and the ISO
sensitivity on the external flash. (The
external flash cannot control the light
adequately due to the change in
aperture value on Shutter-priority AE
and Programme AE.)
¬ Suggestions/Tips ¬
• Some commercial external flashes
have synchro terminals with
high-voltage or reversed polarity.
Using such external flashes may
cause a malfunction or the camera
may not operate normally.
Be sure to use Panasonic's external
flash (DMW-FL28).
• If using other external flash units,
please make sure the flash is
designed for use with a digital camera
and the trigger voltage is based on
ISO 10330 (less than 24 volts).
• The available flash range is 10 m in
DMW-FL28. (When setting to ISO100)
Recording pictures (advanced)
• When attaching the external flash, the
shutter speed becomes 1/60th to
1/250th in normal mode, 1 to 1/250th
in Night portrait mode [
• External flash mode is selected when
attaching the external flash to the
camera even if the external flash is
turned off. When you are not using the
external flash, detach it or set it to
Forced OFF.
• When attaching the external flash, the
built-in flash cannot be activated.
• When attaching the external flash, the
camera becomes unstable to be put.
• Detach the external flash when
carrying the camera.
• When attaching the external flash, do
not hold only the external flash
because it may drop off the camera.
• When using the external flash and
setting the white balance to [
(Flash), finely adjust the white
balance. (P70)
