Enjoying 3D pictures
Attaching the 3D interchangeable lens (H-FT012: optional) to the camera allows you to 
take 3D pictures for extra impact.
To view 3D pictures, a television that supports 3D is required.
1Attach the 3D interchangeable lens to the camera.
2Bring the subject into the frame and record by pressing the shutter 
button fully.
•Focusing is not required when recording 3D pictures.
•Still pictures recorded with the 3D interchangeable lens attached are saved in MPO 
format (3D).
•Up to approx. 490 3D pictures can be recorded on a 2 GB card.
(When the aspect ratio is set to [4:3], and the quality is set to [ ].)
•Read the operating instructions of the 3D interchangeable lens for details.
Not available in these cases:
•
You cannot record 3D pictures in vertical orientation.•When a distance to the subject is 0.6 m (2.0 feet) to approximately 1 m (3.3 feet), horizontal 
disparity becomes too great, and you may not see the 3D effect at the edges of the image.
Taking 3D pictures
To ensure that the 3D pictures can be safely viewed, pay attention to the 
following points when recording.
•
Where possible, record with the unit in a horizontal state.
•The suggested minimum subject distance is 0.6 m (2.0 feet).•Be careful not to shake the camera while in a vehicle or walking.
It is recommended to use a tripod or a flash to record steady pictures.

prevent the cable falling off.
•Remove the flash synchro socket cap by turning in the direction 
of the arrow.
•Be careful not to lose the flash synchro socket cap.•The flash synchro socket has no polarity. You can use a synchro 
cable regardless of its polarity.
•Use the flash with a synchronization voltage of 400 V or less.•Do not use the synchro cables with the length of 3 m (9.8 feet) or more. : External flash Forced ON
: External flash Slow Sync.
Π: External flash Forced OFF
•Signal-flashing with wireless flashes is also disabled.
When using other commercially available external flashes without 
communication functions with the camera (DMC-GH4)
•
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.)

•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 ca mera 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.  (P138)
•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.
•Refer to P187 about the settings for the wireless flash.•Read the operating instructions of the external flash for details.
