FZ20/30 Natural Light Performance

How do you perform that augmented flash? That picture looks really good. Is there a setting in the camera somewhere?

This was done with an FZ 10 so here goes.
Set camera to manual mode and select an F-stop around f3.3 and a speed around 160 th. Pop up flash and toggle the right side of the rearjogbutton till you get only a lighting bolt. You should now have an M and lighting bolt in the upper left corner display. Next toggle the top of the jog button until you see flash then toggle the left side to reduce flash power. Set W/B in the menu to the w/b with lighting bolt. You may need to make adjustment to the f-stop to refine exposure. This is done with the exposure button on the camera rear and then the jog button. Have fun….LoveLife.
