Using External Flash; Using The Fl-40 External Flash - Olympus Camedia C-3040Zoom Instructions Manual

Using external flash

Using the optional FL-40 external flash enables you to take a wide variety of
shots using flash.
You can either use the external flash by itself, or use it in conjunction with the
camera's built-in flash.
To mount the FL-40 external flash on your Camedia, you should always use
the optional dedicated flash bracket FL-BK01 and bracket cable FL-CB01. If
you use any other method to mount the FL-40 external flash, you will not be
able to access the dedicated functions offered by the FL-40 external flash.

Using the FL-40 external flash

When you use the FL-40 external flash, it automatically detects the camera's
flash mode and exposure settings and can be controlled by the camera in the
same way as the built-in flash.
Using the built-in and external flash units together allows you to use more
sophisticated lighting effects, such as using the external flash for bounce
lighting and the built-in flash for catch lighting. The default setting is for the
external flash and built-in flash to work together.
