For information on fl ash bracketing: g “FL BKT (FL bracketing)” (P. 58)
# Cautions
This does not work when the fl ash control mode on the electronic fl ash is set to MANUAL.
If fl ash intensity is adjusted on the electronic fl ash, it will be combined with the camera’s
fl ash intensity setting.
When [w+F] is set to [On], the fl ash intensity value will be added to the exposure
compensation value. g “Customizing camera settings” (P. 81)
Using external fl ash units designated for use with this
camera
Optional external fl ash units designated for use with this camera support a wide variety
of options for fl ash photography, including automatic fl ash control, super FP, and
wireless fl ash control (P. 93).
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 shutter speeds slower than 1/180 s and
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.
