External Flash (Optional); Using The External Flash - Olympus CAMEDIA C-5000 Zoom Reference Manual

External flash (optional)

Using the external flash

Various types of flash shooting are possible with Olympus FL series external
flashes. The external flash can be used either by itself or together with the
built-in flash.
If an external flash is used, the flash mode and exposure compensation will
be detected automatically by the camera like the built-in flash. Using the two
flashes together allows for more sophisticated lighting, such as catch lighting
using the built-in flash.
The FL-40 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).
Below is a description of how to mount the FL-20 flash on the hot shoe.
