Slide the fl ash switch to raise the built-in fl ash.
• After confi 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 ash units with their
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.

Cautions
• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote fl ash units.
• Remote fl ash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization longer than 4
seconds.
• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control fl ashes emitted by the built-in fl ash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the built-in fl ash
by, for example, using a diffuser).
• The upper limit of fl ash synchronization timing is 1/180 sec. when using the fl ash in
remote control mode.
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 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 specifi cations
may damage the camera.
• Use only with the camera in shooting mode
M
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.
