The DMW-FL28 GN 33 (ft) External Flash works perfectly with this model. It is a solid flash made by Panasonic so you know it is high quality. It has both manual and auto settings which is good for both customized shots and quick snap shots. There are other flash accessories on this page as well.

I am looking at other flashes as a review of this one was not very stellar.

I also am looking for a flash with more reach as I am taking pics at hockey arenas and some of them have rather poor lighting in the older ones.

Thank you Ben. I did resubmit my question. The DMW-FL28 does not have the reach I am looking for.
