FLASHPHOTO GROUP
Flash is your own private "sun" when
you take pictures at night, indoors, or
daylight fill-in. At the moment of flash,
you can even catch the movement of
subjects that your own eyes are unable
to follow.
At present the OM System Flashphoto
Group renders a choice of 3 different
flash units, including the Quick Auto
310.
The Quick Auto 310 is the heart of the
Group. Small and lightweight, it never-
theless offers high performance — a
maximum ASA 100 (in meters) guide
number 34 with an angle that virtually
covers the picture area of a 24mm super
wide-angle lens.
Beside the 3 automatic settings, 2 man-
ual settings are also available in a single
dial operation. During manual operation,
flash intensity is freely controllable for
fill-in lighting in daylight scenes, while
the use of the Remote Sensor and
Bounce Grip units allows automatic
bounce flash.
(The Quick Auto 310 is regulated by
the SBC light sensors and electronic
brain built into the OM-2 to automati-
cally control the light emission level of
the flash unit.) Except at TTL Auto
setting, it functions in the same way as
normal autoflash unit.
