Questions & Answers

BETH A : Can you use this flash with the GX1 panasonic?JOHN M : Yes, absolutely.ADAM D : I'm not 100% sure. I don't own any Panasonic cameras it was a gift and it works well with an older Panasonic model. It is listed as an available accessory. Maybe the folks at Adorama can tell you better.DAVID R : The DMW-FL360 works quite well with the GX1. I have the 14-42 "pancake" lens on my GX1, and the flash zooms to match the zoom level of the lens, just like my high-end Nikon DSLR flash does. The only possible drawbacks I can see are that it only uses 2 AA batteries, as opposed to 4 batteries on most flashes I have used. And the flash blocks the connection for the optional Live Viewfinder (DMW-LVF2), so you can't use that and the flash at the same time. While using the flash, you have to use the normal LCD on the back of the camera for framing/reviewing the picture, changing settings, etc.Glen H : Yes, this flash will work with the Panasonic DMC-GX1.

Big improvement over the pop up flash.

I bought this flash because when taking pictures of my son indoors the pictures would come out blurry from his movement with my GH1 using the 14-140 kit lense. Taking pictures with the built in flash resulted in slow focus and the result many times was washed out because of being too close to the subject. When using DMW-FL360 flash the camera seems to focus much quicker and changing the intestity as well as being able to bounce the flash off the ceiling allows me to get closer with better results. The only down side I would say is the reacharge time and how quick the batteries are drained. However I am using alkaline batteries and I'm told if I use NiMH batteries those problems would be reduced.

Powerful and versatile unit.

Much more powerful than the inbuilt flash. Adjusts itself automatically with the lens settings as well as when used as a bounce flash. The built-in wide angle attachment actually works. The digital screen is useful and shows all the flash's settings. Slow initial charge up, but OK after that.

Not such a hot flash unit

We have used this flash for Wedding Photography, and find it to be inconsistent, sometimes it will not flash at all in low light.

Mounting the Panasonic DMW-FL360 TTL external flash unit onto the camera's hotshoe gives you precise TTL light control of the high-powered flash, and lets youuse the versatile functions of the flash.

Linked with the camera's light-metering functions, the DMW-FL360 uses a TTL light adjustment system to measure the light that actually strikes the Live MOS sensor, then adjusts the flash intensity accordingly. The result is flash photoswith outstanding exposure.

The FL360 has a guide number of 36 (ISO 100/m). The angle zoom function covers a lens range of 24-85mm (35mm camera equivalent). Using the built-in wide panel further extends coverage to a view angle of 18mm. The firing angle can also be automatically changed to create a bounce lighting effect.
