richard_de_garis Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Does anyone have any experience using the Panasonic DMC FZ-10 camera with a canon 550EX flash? I realise that if it is electrically compatible it will likely operate in a manual capacity only - that's okay. I just happen to have this flash, I'm planning on buying the Panasonic and I'm hoping I don't have to buy another external flash as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfrey Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I have a Canon 420EX. It mounts and fires with the FZ10, syncs up fine, but only fires at a full, unmetered output. Without a way to turn down the output, the only way I can use it is to fit a heavy ND filter and use a flash meter to obtain a guide number for use. If the 550EX allows you to set a low power, manual output and you have a flash meter, you could likely use it. The Sunpak 383 is a lot more flexible and a lot easier to use with the FZ10 because it contains its own metering and control circuitry.

bill_tuthill Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 If you buy the Panasonic DMW-FL28 speedlight for about $150, do you get real TTL? The digicam review sites seem rather naive about flash systems; I can't find an answer. The FL28 lacks rotating head, and does not look like a great value for the money.
