Using the external flash
Various types of flash shooting are possible with the Olympus FL series
external flashes.
The external flash can be used either by itself or together with the built-in
flash.
If the external flash is used, flash mode and exposure compensation will be
detected automatically by the camera, allowing the built-in flash and external
flash to function together.
The external flash can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the hot
shoe on the top of the camera, or by using the exclusive FL-BK01 flash
bracket (optional) and FL-CB02 bracket cable (optional).
This chapter explains how to use the FL-20 when attached to the hot shoe.
