331 Others Optional accessories 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) 1Attach the dedicated flash to the hot shoe and then turn on the camera and the dedicated flash. 2Select the menu. 3Press 3/4 to select [Flash Mode] and then press [MENU/SET].4Press 3/4 to select an item and then press [MENU/SET]. •While the external flash is connected, the following icons are displayed. External Flash (optional) Removing the Hot Shoe Cover The camera comes with a hot shoe cover attached to the hot shoe.

[MENU] >[Rec] >[Flash] : External flash Forced ON : External flash Slow Sync. Œ : External flash Forced OFF • Signal-flashing with wireless flashes is also disabled.
332 Others •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.)
333 Others 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.
