I have no experience with flash on this camera but you may wish to check that silent mode is disabled.

If the flash is attatched and switched to ON (with the switch on the flash body) all flash options are available.

 

But there are some camera recording modes - see p. 178 - where the flash will be deactivated.

I had the same problem and turning off "Silent Mode" resolved it.

Flash won't work in silent mode..

My friends, just reset the camera settings and the flash works again. Some adjustments cause the flash to stop working. I think this is something that the manufacturer did wrong.

In the following cases, the flash mode is fixed to [Forced Flash Off].
• When recording videos
• When recording 4K pictures
• When recording with the Post Focus function
• When using [Panorama Shot]
• When using the electronic shutter function
• When an image effect in [Filter Effect] of [Filter Settings] is set
• When [Silent Mode] is set to [ON]
• When [HDR] is set to [ON]

Hi I’m still having the same problem. I have connected the external flash but the option is still greyed out. I don’t know what to do?

Is it a flash that is suitable for Panasonic - that is the flash protocol for this camera? Otherwise it will only operate on Manual or the flash internal A setting.
