Cautions
This setting has no effect when the
fl

MANUAL.
Changes to
fl
ash intensity made with the external
fl

“Customizing camera settings” (P. 81)
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. 93).
Other external
fl
ash units
Note the following when using a third-party
fl
ash unit mounted on the camera hot shoe:
Using obsolete
fl
ash units that apply currents of more than about 24 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.
