Q When the Olympus E-1 digital camera enters the sleep mode, the FL-36 control panel displays
turn off. Is this normal?
A Ye s, it is normal. When the E-1 enters the sleep mode, the FL-36 does as well. When the camera
wakes up, so does the FL-36.
Q Does the FL-36 also turn off when the Olympus E-1 digital camera is turned off?
A When the E-1 is turned off, the FL-36 enters the sleep mode. When the E-1 is turned on again, the
FL-36 also turns on. When you want to turn off the FL-36, turn off the FL-36 before turning off the
E-1. In addition, when connected to a camera without communication capability, the FL-36
enters the sleep mode if it is not operated for about 15 minutes.
