Panasonic DMW-FL360 in the test

The Panasonic DMW-FL360 achieves exactly the same guide number of 36 in the name range – with only two AA energy encoders a good performance. However, after 5 to 6 flashes at full power, it takes up to 12 seconds (depending on the type of battery) to reach the readiness for lightning.

In the case of smoothly operating TTL flashes is not fired as a rule but with full power, which is why in practice practical work is possible. However, the second set of batteries should always be there.

Test results


The Panasonic DMW-FL360 has a hakeliges battery compartment, a small display and a lot of adjustment possibilities, for example manual aperture and sensitivity adjustment or the flashing according to preset guide number. The short-time synchronization for flashing at shorter shutter speeds than the synchronization time of the camera is also possible. This, however, sucks the batteries really fast.


Amazing for a flash of a company that has only Micro Four Thirds cameras on offer: The focal ranges can be converted to 35 mm data. Background may be that the flash also works on Olympus cams - Olympus has cameras with 35mm sensor.


The color temperature of the Panasonic DMW-FL360 is quite neutral at full power with 5400 Kelvin, but increases with decreasing power towards blue. The power control is not quite exact but stable. The burn time is 1/1200 second.


The Panasonic DMW-FL360 is small and light, but neither strong nor for this performance class especially fast. A master or slave function does not exist. The device is only suitable for single-flash tasks in the amateur area and is priced at 220 euros.
