Attach the external flash to the hot shoe and then turn on the camera and the
external flash
• Refer to (→143) for changing the settings for external flashes on the camera.
• Refer to (→148) about the settings for the wireless flash.
When using other commercially available external flashes that don’t
offer direct communication with the camera (DC-FZ80)
• It is necessary to set the exposure on the external flash when it is used. When you use
an external flash in Auto Mode, use an external flash that allows you to set the aperture
value and ISO sensitivity to match the same settings on the camera.
• Set the camera to Aperture-Priority AE Mode or Manual Exposure Mode and then set
the same aperture value and ISO sensitivity on the external flash. (The proper exposure
cannot be achieved because the aperture value changes in Shutter-Priority AE Mode.
The light of the external flash cannot be properly adjusted since the aperture value
cannot be fixed in Programme AE Mode.)
●
You can set the aperture value, shutter speed and ISO sensitivity on the camera even when the
external flash is attached.
●
Some commercially available external flashes have synchro terminals with high-voltage or
reversed polarity. If such flashes are used, they could cause a malfunction or hinder normal
operation of the camera.
●
Be sure to hold both the camera and the external flash when it is attached to the camera. If you
hold only the external flash, it could become detached from the camera.
●
If you take pictures close to the subject while taking wide-angle pictures, the light of the flash is
obstructed by the lens and the bottom of the screen may be dark.
●
Refer to the operating instructions of the external flash for further details.
