Flash External flash (optional) • The camera's flash mode will have no effect on the external flash. The external flash will fire even when the camera's flash mode is set Note to $ (off). • Confirm in advance that the external flash you are using is synchronized with the camera. Compatible external flashes When selecting an external flash, use products which meet the following basic conditions. (1) Some flashes available on the market operate with a high voltage synchro terminal. If one of these is used, it may damage the camera, and/or the camera may not function normally. Contact the manufacturer of the flash you are using concerning the specifications of the flash's synchro 4 terminal. (2) Some flashes available on the market have the polarity of the synchro terminal reversed. In this case, even if the flash is connected, it will not fire. Contact the manufacturer of the flash for more information. (3) Exposures when using an external flash require that adjustments be made on the external flash unit. If an external flash is used in the auto mode, match it with the F value and ISO settings on the camera. (4) Even if the auto F value and ISO of the external flash are set to the same conditions as those on the camera, depending on the photographic conditions, it is possible that the correct exposure may not be obtained anyway. In such a case, adjust the auto F value or ISO value on the external flash unit or calculate the distance in the manual mode and use it that way. (5) Use a flash whose illuminating angle covers the angle of view of the lens. However, in close-up photography with the lens on the wide setting, the bottom of the image may not expose correctly. The ideal is to have a wide angle adapter to fit on the flash and spread the illumination angle so it is wider. (6) Use a flash unit with a flash time of 1/200 sec. or less when using the flash at full strength. For devices with a long flash time, a portion of the light emitted will not contribute to the exposure. (7) If a flash unit or other accessory TTL flash that has additional communications functions other than an Olympus FL series flash is used, it may not only fail to function normally, but may also cause damage to the camera's circuitry. Do not use such a device. 72

Compatible external flashes

When selecting an external flash, use products which meet the

following basic conditions.

(1)

Some flashes available on the market operate with a high voltage synchro

terminal. If one of these is used, it may damage the camera, and/or the

camera may not function normally. Contact the manufacturer of the flash

you are using concerning the specifications of the flash’s synchro

terminal.

(2)

Some flashes available on the market have the polarity of the synchro

terminal reversed. In this case, even if the flash is connected, it will not

fire. Contact the manufacturer of the flash for more information.

(3)

Exposures when using an external flash require that adjustments be

made on the external flash unit. If an external flash is used in the auto

mode, match it with the F value and ISO settings on the camera.

(4)

Even if the auto F value and ISO of the external flash are set to the same

conditions as those on the camera, depending on the photographic

conditions, it is possible that the correct exposure may not be obtained

anyway. In such a case, adjust the auto F value or ISO value on the

external flash unit or calculate the distance in the manual mode and use

it that way.

However, in close-up photography with the lens on the wide setting, the

bottom of the image may not expose correctly. The ideal is to have a wide

angle adapter to fit on the flash and spread the illumination angle so it is

at full strength.

For devices with a long flash time, a portion of the light emitted will not

contribute to the exposure.

If a flash unit or other accessory TTL flash that has additional

communications functions other than an Olympus FL series flash is

used, it may not only fail to function normally, but may also cause

damage to the camera's circuitry. Do not use such a device.
