∫ When using other commercially available external flashes without 
communication functions with the camera (DMC-G1)

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.)
Note
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 camera may enter the external flash mode when the 
external flash is attached. When you are not using the external flash, detach it.

Using the Protector/Filter (optional)
The MC protector (DMW-LMC52; optional) 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 (DMW-LND52; optional) reduces the amount of light to approximately 1/8th 
(equal to adjusting the aperture value 3 incre ments) without affecting the color balance.
PL filter (DMW-LPL52; optional) 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.
Attach the filter.
A MC protector
B ND filter
C PL filter
Note
Do not attach multiple f ilters at the same time.If the filter is tightened too much, you may not be able to remove it. Do not tighten it too much.If the filter is dropped, it may be destroyed. Be careful not to drop it when attaching it to the 
camera.
Be careful not to get a fingerprint, dirt, etc., on the filter when it is attached, otherwise the focus 
may be adjusted to the lens, resulting in the subject being out of focus.
You can attach the lens cap or the lens hood when the filter is attached.Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.MCu“Multi-coated”
NDu“Neutral Density”It is recommended to use the MC protector (DMW-LMC52; optional), the ND filter 
(DMW-LND52; optional), or the PL filter (DMW-LPL52; optional) with the lens included in 
DMC-G1K.
