Super FP flash

Super FP flash is available with the FL-50. Super FP flash timing is longer than
standard flash timing. This means that pictures can be taken at a higher speed than is
possible with normal flashes.
Flash shooting with the aperture open such as
in portrait shooting is also possible with Super
FP flash. For details, refer to the FL-50 manual.

In some situations (e.g., when shooting small subjects, distant backgrounds, etc.), you
may get better results by adjusting light emission. It is useful when you intend to
increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of images to make the
images more vivid.
