Can this be used with Lumix electronic viewfinder AND external flash via the PC connection?

To be safe you would have to ask the manufacturer of the specific product, but that said, I can tell you that I am using a "safe" adapter between the hot shoe of my Lumix DMC FZ230 and a very old flash unit that is supposed to be too "hot" with no ill effect.

I am using the safe sync adaptor with a Lumix DMC-FZ200 and Vivitar 285 flash that has been repaired using a metal replacement foot. Since the Vivitar flash is a big, heavy unit, the safe sync adaptor seems a bit weak with the flash directly attached. So I am using a flash bracket and a PC cable between the PC connection on the sync adaptor and the PC connection on the Vivitar foot. It triggers the flash well and provides much more light than the flash in the camera. So far I am pleased with the sync adaptor.

No I don't think you can do that. The hot shoe just gives you a simple contact to fire the flash. If you mount an electronic viewfinder on top of it, I am pretty sure it won't have all the contact points needed for the viewfinder. You could mount another flash on top of the hot shoe adaptor, though. But almost certainly not the electronic viewfinder.

It's made for an external flash only. I'm sure you could probably rig it to your camera.

I have used it with the NEEWER CN-160 160PCS LED Dimmable Ultra High Power Panel Digital Camera / Camcorder Video Light and the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash with no problems. With the video light I extended it to its max height and it was very stable. It is a very bright light, best used indirectly off the ceiling.

To my knowledge, no. The camera will automatically use the external one instead.

I don't think so, it's a radio trigger only, your flash is an infrared rcvr only. You can use the ST-E2 transmitter, which is an IR transmitter

I should work fine if you use the SD card after creating you're slideshow on computer making it an executable file.. I played a movie using mine in this way. The clarity isn't the best..and keep in mind this little devices bulbs runs hot. I couldn't initialize the USB input to function with my PC however.

I used it to take photos for E-Bay but only under controlled light conditions. Using normal ambient indoor lighting did not work well for me and the flash created shadows. Ultimately got rid of this camera so don't know if an external flash can be attached - sorry.

It will allow you to do that, but I was very disappointed with it and send it back. Kept disconneting itself. I just bought a cable on a usb to go from camera to computer and it takes no time at all! You will not be happy with this device.

It attaches to the front of the camera lens, so I'm not sure how you would do that. Technically it might be possible, just as with any other external flash, but I didn't try to do anything like that. Since I have a 50D, it would not work with my camera so there was no experimentation.

Leica offers an optical viewfinder that sits in the flash hot-shoe. I bought it. It is expensive, but it is of limited utility when the lens zooms in. I have never heard of any electronic viewfinder for this camera. Even so, this is a nice handy and versatile camera.

This camera has a hot shoe which will accept any type of flash. I tried it with a really old Vivitar flash, and it worked. You must however remember a few things: 1. The flash will not work in "silent" mode (it is in the booklet) 2. Usually, the external flash must be enabled from camera menu 3. The hotshoe has more than the standard connecting contact; the other contact points make use of extra electronics in the Fuji flash, possibly to control flash intensity (for fill-up), and maybe for extra flashes used for red eye reduction (as the built-in does)

This device is merely an adapter in order to have a PC connection on Canon cameras that do not have the PC connector built in. In my opinion, if you have an expensive camera body - let's say $2,500 - it is just not worth risking damaging it by using a flash unit that is more than 30 years old. I have thrown out my 283's even though they have served me well for a long time. They are not worth the risk to our camera bodies, in my opinion.

Can't answer since I used it with a Panasonic Lumix camera a couple of years ago.

Flash for the camera, yes. Adobe flash, it can be side loaded and works just fine

NO! Don't buy it! We bought it for a LUMIX because it claimed to be compatible and IT ISN'T.

If you have a lens that has a front screw mount which matches one of this flash's adaptors (and there are a bunch of them) this will work. As I have repeatedly answered over and over again, to one form of question or another, this unit can simply be turned "on", even if you don't have a flash hot shoe, for the duration of you picture taking session. In fact, since this is NOT an auto, through-the-lens, flash, this method of just turning it on and leaving it on is a good one, because then you can let a light meter (built-in or otherwise) do all the work.

There is no connecting element that allows connection from camera to the adaptor ...but the external lens fits to its mount.... it's an total waste product
