Optional accessories
After attaching the external flash (DMW-FL360L, DMW-FL220, DMW-FL360,

∫When using other commercially available external flashes without 
communication functions with the camera (DMC-GH3)
•
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.)
∫ Using a external flash by connecting with a flash synchro socket
•
You can use an external flash by connecting a synchro cable with a flash 
synchro socket. The socket has a lock screw to prevent the cable falling off.
•Remove the flash synchro socket cap by turning in the direction of the arrow.•Be careful not to lose the flash synchro socket cap.•The flash synchro socket has no polarity. You can use a synchro cable 
regardless of its polarity.
•Use the flash with a synchronisation voltage of 400 V or less.•Do not use the synchro cables with the length of 3 m (9.8 feet) or more.
•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 ca mera 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.  (P138)
•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 P129 about the settings for the wireless flash.•Read the operating instructions of the external flash for details.

Using a battery grip (DMW-BGGH3: optional) improves ease of operation and grip when 
held vertically. Installing a spare battery will allow you to record for a longer time.
∫ Setting a priority for the use of spare batteries
You can set which battery should be used when t he battery is inserted to both this unit and 
the battery grip.

By connecting the AC adaptor (optional), and then 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.
•When the DC coupler is being mounted, the DC coupler cover opens, so the structure ceases 
to be dust-proof and splash-proof. Be careful not to allow sand, dust and water etc. to adhere to 
or enter the structure. After use, check that there is no foreign matter attached to the coupler 
cover, and close it firmly.
•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.•Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.
