External flash shooting

Using a dedicated external flash

Using an Olympus FL series dedicated external flash enables you to take advantage of a wider

variety of flash shooting techniques. A dedicated external flash automatically detects the flash mode

and exposure settings of the camera, in the same way as the built-in flash. An external flash

specified for use with this camera can be attached to the hot shoe on the top of the camera or used

in combination with an FL-BK01 flash bracket (optional) and FL-CB02 bracket cable (optional).

Slide the hot shoe cover off in the direction of the arrow and attach

the external flash.

• For instructions on how to attach the external flash, refer to the manual provided with the

flash.

• Keep the hot shoe cover in a safe place to avoid losing it, and put it back on the camera after

removing the external flash.

Turn the external flash on.

• Set the flash control mode of the flash to TTL-AUTO.

• Be sure to attach the flash to the camera before turning the flash on.

Press 3# repeatedly to set the flash mode.
