Review on 📸 Bower SFD728O Dedicated AF TTL Flash for Olympus and Panasonic E-620, E-520, E-PL5, E-PM2, Panasonic DMC-G5, G6, G10, GH2, GF6, GX1 and Similar DSLRs – Black by Charles Mathews

This is a mishmash with my Panasonic GF2. With the camera in Intelligent Auto ("iA") mode, it performs quite well in both direct and reflected light, which arguably justifies the bargain price. But when the camera is in almost every other mode, including program and normal auto, it tends to overexpose most shots. I can't find any in-camera flash control menus other than the usual on/off/red-eye options. Also, the GF2 doesn't appear to have focus-assist (the camera's built-in focus-assist lamp still does all the work in low light). Other than that, it's a decent basic flash with a single on/off switch, the head tilts and rotates easily, and is fairly light for its size (good for a camera as small as the GF2). It is quiet, turns on and charges quickly enough thanks to high-quality nickel-metal hydride batteries. It has sufficient light output for most situations. It may work better with other Panasonic and Olympus models, but GF2 compatibility is limited to just one mode.
