Optional accessories
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)
1Attach the dedicated flash to the hot shoe and then turn on the camera 
and the dedicated flash.
2Select [Flash] on the [Rec] menu.  (P64)
3Touch the item.
•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-G5)
•
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.

Others
Note
•You can set the aperture value, the shutter speed and the ISO sensitivity on the camera even when 
attaching the external flash.
•Some commercial external flashes have synchro terminals with high-voltage or reversed polarity. 
Using such extra flashes may cause a malfunction or the camera may not operate normally.
•If you use commercially available external flashes with communication functions other than the 
dedicated one, they may not operate normally or they may be damaged. Do not use them.
•Even if the external flash is turned off, the camera may enter the external flash mode when the 
external flash is attached. When you are not using the external flash, detach it.
•Do not open the built-in flash when an external flash is attached.•The camera will become unstable when attaching the external flash, it is recommended to use a 
tripod when taking picture.
•Detach the external flash when carrying the camera.•When attaching the external flash, do not hold only the external flash because it may detach from 
the camera.
•If you use the external flash when the White Balance is set to [ ] finely adjust the White Balance 
depending on the picture quality. (P109)
•If you record at close range with a wide angle, light from the flash may be blocked by the lens, 
darkening the lower part of the screen.
•Read the operating instructions of the external flash for details.
You can easily widen the range of expression of the unit by installing a compatible lens.
•
We recommend that you use a conversion lens that is compatible with this unit. Use of a 
non-compatible conversion lens or adaptor may result in breakage or damage to the lens.
•For details, refer to the operating instructions of the relevant conversion lenses.
Conversion lens (optional)
Wide conversion lens: Wide-angle effect allows a wider field of view.
Tele conversion lens: Telescopic effect allows a higher level of magnification.
Macro conversion lens: Allows higher level of magnification of small subjects.
Fish eye conversion lens: Enables recordin g of image with stretched perspective.

The MC protector is a transparent filter which affects neither the colors nor the amount of light, 
so it can always be used to protect the camera’s lens.
The ND filter reduces the amount of light to approximately 1/8th (equal to adjusting the aperture 
value 3 increments) without affecting the color balance.
PL filter will suppress the reflected light from a metal or non spherical surf aces (flat non-metallic 
surfaces, water vapour or invisible particles in the air), making it possible to take a picture with 
enhanced contrast.
Note
•
When using the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042), turn this unit off and ensure the lens barrel is 
retracted before attaching or removing a filter.
•Do not attach multiple filters at the same time.•You can attach the lens cap or the lens hood when the filter is attached.•Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.
If you use the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1: opti onal), you can avoid jitter (camera shake) when 
using a tripod and you can keep the shutter pressed  fully when taking pictures with [B] (Bulb) or 
Burst Mode. The remote shutter works similar to the shutter button on the camera.
Note
•
Always use a genuine Panasonic remote shutter (DMW-RSL1: optional).•You cannot operate the camera with the remote shutter in the following cases.
–When the Sleep Mode is canceled–When starting/ending the recording of motion pictures•Read the operating instructions of the remote shutter for details.
By connecting the AC adaptor (optional), and then plugging them into an electrical socket, you 
can connect this unit to a PC or printer and use without worrying about the capacity of the 
battery. To use the AC adaptor, a DC coupler (optional) is required.
Note
•
Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (optional).•When using an AC adaptor, use the AC  cable supplied with the AC adaptor.
•Also read the operating instructions for the AC adaptor and DC coupler.
