I have this flash, and use it on my G1 and GH2. I haven't been able to trigger TTL mode in Panasonic cameras, and I was told somewhere on this forum that there is no TTL support for panasonic G cameras. Anyway, I checked the G1 menu and it isn't there.

So this flash for Panny cameras is fully useful only in Manual and S1 and S2 modes. I use it with all my strobes in a small studio set-up, so this flash is like a trigger for those strobes. I only wish this flash can fire a signal and no flash at all, so I can trigger the strobes wirelessly without introducing more light from the flash.

Eventually though, I got a used D90 and a speed light. I am heavily invested in M43 and have no plans to leave the system. But on this one matter of lighting, I think it lags behind Canikon in range, accessories, and cost (aka, 3rd party solutions).

Strangely enough, it's working like a charm on my GF1. In P mode camera chooses somewhat slow shutter (like 1/30) but this definitely confirms that flash is in TTL mode

Are you sure you've got specific 4/3 model?
