When using other commercially available external flashes that don’t
offer direct communication with the camera (DMC-LX100)
• 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] 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] Mode. The
light of the external flash cannot be properly adjusted since the aperture value cannot
be fixed in [Program 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.
●
If you use commercially available external flashes (with communication functions) other than the
ones compatible with this unit, 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.
●
When the external flash is attached, the camera will become unstable, and therefore we
recommend using a tripod to take pictures.
●
Detach the external flash when you carry 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 the White Balance is set to [ ] when the external flash is used, perform fine adjustment of the
White Balance if the recording results are not satisfactory. (→105)
●
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 (→184) about the settings for the wireless flash.
●
Refer to the operating instructions of the external flash for further details.
Using the AC adaptor (optional) and DC coupler (optional)
instead of the battery
By using the AC adaptor (optional) and DC coupler (optional), you can record and play
back without worrying about the remaining battery charge.
The optional DC coupler can only be used with the designated Panasonic AC adaptor.
●
Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (optional).
●
Also read the AC adaptor and DC coupler operating instructions.
