Attach the supplied

• After con

rming that the built-in and remote
fl
ash units have charged, take a test shot.
Wireless
fl
ash control range
Position the wireless
fl

remote sensors facing the camera. The
following illustration shows the approximate
ranges at which the
fl
ash units can be
positioned. The actual control range varies
with local conditions.

• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote
fl
ash units.
• Remote
fl
ash units cannot be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control
fl
ashes emitted by the camera
fl
ash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the camera
fl
ash by, for example, using a diffuser).
• The upper limit of
fl
ash synchronization timing is 1/160 sec. when using the
fl
ash in RC
mode.
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 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.
• Set the Shooting mode to
M
, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than
fl
ash
synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting 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.
