FZ30 Alternate flash

[jefflang007]

Hi. I dont want to spend the megga $$ to get a Panasonic FZ30 flash.

i have been told that other flashes will only work on manual and will be out of Sync.. Is this so.

I found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140015809892 and was told it would be fine and work with not error.

Can any one offer help with this. Is is possible to use other flashes?

I have a sunpak 383 that works great with my panny ... as for TTL im not entirely sure, but i dont think the camera uses a TTL flash

All flashes are manual with the FZ30 and that includes the Panasonic model.

The FZ30 is not TTL , so the flash you linked to will work the same as any other.

The Main question with that flash is, the guide # is marked as 105, if that is so its almost as powerful as the Sunpack 383.....But is that number accurate.....You could ask the seller and see what he says.

Most any Flash with trigger voltagge under 24 volt will work.

As the flashes work manually you need some adjustments on the flash itself to help control the intensity and that flash appears to include those options.

Its not my money but if I could not get the Sunpak 383 or the
Vivitar 285HV, I would try that one.
