Enjoying 3D pictures
Attaching the 3D interchangeable lens (H-FT012: optional) to the camera allows you to 
take 3D pictures for extra impact.
1Attach the 3D interchangeable lens to the camera.
2Bring the subject into the frame and record by pressing the shu tter 
button fully.
•Focusing is not required when recording 3D pictures.
•Still pictures recorded with the 3D interchangeable lens attach ed are saved in MPO 
format (3D).
•It is recommended to use a tripod or a flash to record steady p ictures.•Up to approx. 3990 3D pictures can be recorded on a 16 GB card.
(When the aspect ratio is set to [4:3], and the quality is set to [ ].)
•Read the operating instructions of the 3D interchangeable lens for details.•You cannot record 3D pictures in vertical orientation.•When a distance to the subject is 0.6 m (2.0 feet) to approximate ly 1 m (3.3 feet), horizontal 
disparity becomes too great, and you may not see the 3D effect  at the edges of the image.
Taking 3D pictures
To ensure that the 3D pictures can be safely viewed, pay attent ion to the 
following points when recording.
•
Where possible, record with the unit in a horizontal state.•The suggested minimum subject distance is 0.6 m (2.0 feet).
•Be careful not to shake the camera while in a vehicle or walking.

Optional accessories
•Some optional accessories may not be available in some countrie s.
After attaching the flash (DMW-FL200L, DMW-FL360L, DMW-FL580L: 
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.
•To change the settings for external flashes on the camera, refe r to P158 .•Refer to  P163 about the settings for the wireless flash.
External Flash (optional)
Removing the Hot Shoe Cover
The camera comes with a hot shoe cover attached to the hot shoe .
Remove the hot shoe cover by pulling it in the direction 
indicated by arrow 2
 while pressing it in the direction 
indicated by arrow  1
.
•Keep the Hot Shoe Cover out of reach of children to prevent 
swallowing.
When using other commercially available external flashes withou t 
communication functions with the camera
•
It is necessary to set the exposure on the external flash. If y ou 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.)

•When an external flash is attached, the following functions are available in addition to the 
functions available with the built-in flash.
–Burst recording (when a setting other than [SH] is selected for  [Burst Rate])–Aperture Bracket
–Focus Bracket•You can set the aperture value, the shutter speed and the ISO s ensitivity on the camera even 
when attaching the external flash.
•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.
•Do not use commercially available external flashes with high-vo ltage synchro terminals, 
reverse polarity or functions that enable them to communicate w ith the camera. Doing so may 
cause the camera to malfunction or operate incorrectly.
•When attaching the external flash, do not hold only the externa l flash because it may detach 
from the camera.
•Read the operating instructions of the external flash for detai ls.
By using the AC adaptor (optional) and DC coupler (optional), y ou 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 
(optional).
•
Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (optional).
•When using an AC adaptor (optio nal), use the AC cable supplied with the AC adaptor.•Also read the operating instructions for the AC adaptor (option al) 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 1/8t h (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 t he 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 came ra power turned on and the 
Focus Mode set to [MF].
•Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.
