    After attaching the flash (DMW-FL360L, 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-FL360L: optional)

    direction indicated by arrow  2
     while pressing it in 
    the direction indicated by arrow  1
    .
    •When the hot shoe is not in use, make sure to attach the hot shoe 
    cover.

    •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.  (P137)
    •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 P224 about the settings for the wireless flash.
    •Read the operating instructions of the external flash for details.
    When using other commercially available external flashes without 
    communication functions with the camera (DMC-GX7)
    •
    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.)

    If you use the shutter remote control (DMW-RSL1: optional), you can avoid jitter (camera 
    shake) when using a tripod and you can k eep the shutter pressed fully when taking 
    pictures with [B] (Bulb) or Burst Mode. The  shutter remote control works similar to the 
    shutter button on the camera.
    •
    Always use a genuine Panasonic shutter remote control (DMW-RSL1: optional).
    •Record with Creative Video Mode  (P125) when using for motion picture recording. Motion 
    picture recording can be started/stopped with the shutter remote control.
    •Read the operating instructions of the shutter remote control for details.
    Not available in these cases:
    •
    You cannot use the shutter remote control for the following operation.
    –Sleep Mode cancellation
    By connecting the AC adaptor (optional), and t hen 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.
    •
    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.
    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 surfaces (flat 
    non-metallic surfaces, water vapour or invisible  particles in the air), making it possible to 
    take a picture with enhanced contrast.
    •
    Do not attach multiple filters at the same time.
    •You can attach the lens cap or the lens hood when the filter is attached.•If you have difficulty attaching or removing the PL filter on the interchangeable lens (H-H020A), 
    we recommend that you attach or remove the filter with the camera power turned on and the 
    Focus Mode set to [MF].
    •Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.
