A quick reminder for everyone who uses incompatible flashes like Canon Speedlite, Nikon SB-series, etc. Although the trigger pin is the same and flash sync works, the trigger voltage may be too high for the Lumix LX3. In trigger voltage, I don't have a clue how high they are but I've read on a lot of forums who advise against this. We don't want to fry our cameras, do we?

This is one reason why I bought the Metz even though I've tested with the 580EX II. I have a feeling that it is doing something weird to my LX3. Also, although E-TTL didn't work, the auto-thyristor seems to help a bit in 'auto compensation'. But there's a catch in using it.

Thanks for your recommendation.
The original LX3 flashes are just too expensive rclxub.gif

Actually what's the purpose to have a piece of small white board on external flash? I saw many flash have that. The Metz Mecablitz 36 AF-4 is too affordable to include that? smile.gif

Bought the Metz Flash and still playing with it now.. quite nice to play the bounce flash, can easily bright up the photo but not too bright and sharp. consider bulky the flash. biggrin.gif

The original viewfinder for LX3 is priced around 600+ @ direct.panasonic.com.my
But i already bought the external flash hmm so don't know still need the viewfinder or not. What's the main advantage of own a viewfinder huh? Save battery? tongue.gif

Part of the reason i choose LX3 is because the design and LC-1 lens cap is very cool tongue.gif

"If you need pixels, you need the Canon, hands down. If you need the fast, wide, defect-free lens, you need the Panasonic. You don't need the Coolpix."

LOL~

Some how my photographer friend told me can forget about the P mode and go for Aperture priority or Shutter priority mode... Still need more exploration.

there is no manual focus lens for lx3 unfortunately, can onli use the joystick if u wana use manual focus..
btw guys, is it worth it to buy the RM199 8GB panasonic sdhc from http://direct.panasonic.com.my? can't think of anything to buy with my e-voucher...lol
I bought an extra battery with the E-voucher, only pay rm7.
Cos i scare when i go out to do photo shot low battery and couldn't buy any since it's not using AA size battery. tongue.gif
