White balance with mixed light sources?

The background looks badly affected by the tungsten light or is it really that color?

Yep, the skin tones look okay; I presume the ceiling is white then?

As I remarked in respondoing to your other post, my GX7 works wonderfully well with the FL50, FL36R, and FL600R flashes, on camera and also, in the case of the latter two, wirelessly.

Skin tones? White balance? I've never experienced better than the Panasonic AWB. The way it handles fluoro + flash + natural light is excellent. I am on AWB with both my GX7 and G6 99% of the time.

As for the GX7's built in flash being offset. I agree, I wish it wasn't. But on the other hand, it is always there (which the extra little flash for the E-PL3 was not) for when I want it to do a bit of fill or whatever and in those circumstances the small off center factor is irrelevant. At other times a bit of softening of the light (a tissue or whatever is at hand) does wonders.
