Using external
fl
ash units designated for use with
this camera
Optional external
fl
ash units designated for use with this camera support a wide
variety of options for
fl
ash photography, including automatic
fl
ash control, super
FP, and wireless
fl
ash control (P. 103).
Other external
fl
ash units
Observe the following precautions when mounting an external
fl
ash unit not
designated for use with this camera on the camera hot shoe:
Using obsolete
fl
ash units that apply currents of more than about 5 V to the camera
hot shoe X-contact will damage the camera.
Connecting
fl
ash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus
speci
fi
cations may damage the camera.
Use only with the camera in shooting mode
M
at shutter speeds slower than 1/160 s
and at ISO settings other than [AUTO].
Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the
fl
ash to the ISO
sensitivity and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be
adjusted by adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.
Use a
fl
ash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is
usually expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.
