Different external flash units cannot be used independently of the built-in flash.
• The camera flash modes do not apply to different external flash units. A third-
party external flash will fire even when the camera flash mode is set to Flash Off.
• Before using a different external flash unit, note the following points:
• Some different external flash units use high-voltage synchro terminals.
Depending on the mechanism of the flash, this type of flash unit may not
function correctly with the camera.
Contact the manufacturer of your flash for information on the synchro ter-
minal specifications.
• Some different external flash units use synchro terminals with the polari-
ty reversed. Such flash units will not fire when connected to the camera.
Contact the manufacturer of your flash for more information.
•
Check beforehand that the flash unit you are using is synchronized with the camera.
• Do not use flash units other than the FL-40 that feature additional communica-
tions functions, and do not use the accessories provided with such flash units.
Such equipment, if used, could not only fail to function normally, but may
also cause damage to the camera's circuitry.
• It is recommended that you use the Olympus FL-40 external flash with this
camera.
