External flash (optional)
Using the external flash
Various types of flash shooting are possible with the Olympus FL series
external flashes.
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 is mounted on the camera by attaching it to the hot shoe
on the top of the camera. You cannot use the built-in flash and the external
flash together.
This section explains how to use the FL-20 when attached to the hot shoe.
