Note:
• If you are using another brand of extension flash, it cannot be used without the
main flash.
• The camera’s flash mode has no effect on the extension flash. It will fire even
when the camera’s flash mode is set to Off.
• Before using another brand of flash unit, take care concerning the following
points.
• Some flashes available on the market operate with a high voltage synchro
terminal. If such a flash unit is used, it may not function normally. Contact the
manufacturer of the flash you are using concerning the specifications of the
flash’s synchro terminal.
• Some flashes available on the market have the polarity of the synchro
terminals reversed. In this case, even if the flash is connected, it will not fire.
Contact the manufacturer of the flash for more information.
• Confirm in advance that the flash unit you are using is synchronized with the
camera.
• If a flash unit or other accessory with additional communications functions is
used, it may not only fail to function normally, but may also cause damage to
the camera’s circuitry. Do not use such a device.
• It is recommended that the Olympus FL-40 extension flash be used with this
camera.
