Others - 198 - 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.•Remove the hot shoe cover that is attached to the camera.

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.
- 199 - Others Note •This cannot be used simultaneously with the Optional Live Viewfinder.•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. (P106) •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. The MC protector is a transparent filter whic h 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 fr om a metal or non spherical surfaces (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 the power switch [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.•Accessories other than filters, such as conversion lenses, cannot be mounted. It may cause malfunction. (As of October 2011)•Refer to the instructions for each filter for details. Protector/Filter (optional)
