The only available flash with me is the Canon 580EXii. It works.

I set the flash to Manual, External Metering; flip down the wide angle diffuser and manually transfer to ISO and f-stop setting onto the flash.
Btw, the flash also works for Olympus camera. Cheers.

Maybe Nikon flash will do fine too? Cheers.

Try the FL36 & FL50, it would give you TTL function on your D-Lux4

Yeah, good idea. Olympus and Panasonic shares the same TTL system.

I've try the D-Lux on the FL36R and have another question. How do you adjust the flash compensation?

Have you read your manual?

Thanks for the prompt. Found it. Just keep pressing the +/- button to cycle thru.

Cheers.

keep track on olympus B&S forum, FL36 offen surface for sale. It not easy to get FL36 brand new now as it has been replaced by FL36R
