3Disconnect the USB connection 
cable after printing.
∫Setting the date printing with the 
DPOF print in advance
We recommend setting DPOF date printing 
with [DPOF PRINT] (P112) in advance 
when the printer supports it. If you select 
[DPOF PICTURE], printing starts and the 
recording date is printed.
∫Layout printing
 When printing a picture several times 
on 1 sheet of paper
For example, if you want to print a picture 
4 times on 1 sheet of paper, set 
[PAGE LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set 
[NUM. OF PRINTS] to 4.
 When printing different pictures on 
1 sheet of paper (only in DPOF 
printing)
For example, if you want to print 
4 different pictures on 1 sheet of paper, 
set [PAGE LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set 
[COUNT] in [DPOF PRINT] (P112) to 1 for 
each of the 4 pictures.
 Do not disconnect the USB connection 
cable when the cable disconnection 
warning icon [ ] is displayed. 
(Depending on the printer, the icon may 
not be displayed.)
 If the remaining battery power becomes 
low while the camera and the printer are 
connected, the status indicator blinks and 
the alarm beeps. If this happens during 
printing, press [MENU/SET] and stop 
printing at once. If not printing, disconnect 
the USB connection cable.
 The camera is receiving an error message 
from the printer when the [¥] indication 
lights orange during printing. After 
finishing printing, make sure there are no 
problems with the printer. If the total number of DPOF prints or the 
number of DPOF pictures printed is high, 
pictures may be printed several times. The 
remaining number of prints indicated may 
differ from the number set. This is not a 
malfunction.
 With date printing, the setting on the 
printer may take priority over the setting 
on the camera. Check the date print 
setting on the printer also.
 If the printer does not support RAW 
printing, the JPEG picture recorded 
simultaneously is printed. If no JPEG 
picture was recorded simultaneously, 
printing may not be possible.

∫Playing back pictures using the Video 
cable (supplied)
 Set the [TV ASPECT]. (P31)
 Turn the camera and the TV off.
1Connect the video cable A to the 
[V. OUT] socket on the camera.
Connect the video cable with the [ ] 
mark facing the [2] mark on the 
[DIGITAL] socket.
Hold the video cable at B and insert 
straight in or take straight out.
2Connect the video cable to the 
video input socket on the TV.
1 Yellow: to the video input socket
3Turn the TV on and select external 
input.
4Turn the camera on and then 
press [ ].
 Do not use any other Video cables except 
the supplied one.
 Press [ ] to display pictures on the TV. 
You can display pictures on the TV only 
when they are being displayed on the LCD 
monitor.
 The top and bottom or left and right of the 
picture may be cut off slightly when it is 
displayed due to the characteristics of the 
TV.
 Depending on the screen mode setting of 
the TV when you connect the camera to a 
wide-screen TV or a high-definition TV, 
the picture may be stretched horizontally 
or vertically and the top and bottom or left 
and right of the picture may be cut off 
when it is displayed. In this case, change 
the screen mode setting.
 Read the operating instructions for the TV.
 When you play back a picture vertically, it 
may be blurry.
You can view pictures on TVs in other 
countries (regions) which use the NTSC 
or PAL system when you set 
[VIDEO OUT] in the [SETUP] menu.
Even if you set [VIDEO OUT] to [PAL], the 
output signal will still be NTSC in the 
recording mode.
∫Playing back pictures on a TV with an 
SD Card slot
Still pictures recorded on an SD Card or an 
SDHC Memory Card can be played back 
on a TV with an SD Memory Card slot.

Using the External 
Flash
If you use an external flash, the available 
flash range increases compared to the 
camera’s built in flash.
∫Using the dedicated flash 
(DMW-FL500; optional)
1Attach the dedicated flash to the 
hot shoe A and then turn on the 
camera and the dedicated flash.
Be sure to firmly secure to the 
dedicated flash with the lock ring B.
2Press [MENU/SET] to display the 
menu.
3Press 3/4/2/1 to select 
[FLASH] in the [REC] menu [ ] 
and then press 1.
4Press 3/4 to select the mode 
and then press [MENU/SET].
5Press [MENU/SET] to close the 
menu.
You can also press the shutter button 
halfway to close the menu.
∫When using other commercially 
available external flashes without 
communication functions with the 
camera (DMC-L10)
 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.)
 You can also use [FUNC] to set. (P91)
 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 external 
flashes may cause a malfunction or the 
camera may not operate normally. Be sure 
to use Panasonic’s external flash 
(DMW-FL500).

 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.
 When attaching the external flash, the 
built-in flash cannot be activated.
 Do not open the built-in flash when an 
external flash is attached.
 When attaching the external flash, the 
camera will become unstable.
 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 [ ] (Flash) finely 
adjust the white balance depending on the 
picture quality. (P77)
 If you take pictures close to the subject in 
Wide, the vignetting effect may appear on 
the bottom of the recorded picture.
 Read the operating instructions of the 
external flash for details.Using the MC 
Protector/PL Filter
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. Also, the PL filter 
reduces diffused light reflection so you can 
take pictures with increased contrast.
1Detach the lens cap.
2Attach the MC protector A or the 
PL filter B.
 You cannot attach the MC protector and 
the PL filter at the same time.
 If the MC protector/PL filter are tightened 
too much, you may not be able to remove 
them. Do not tighten them too much.
