Cautions

• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.
• Remote flash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization longer than

4 seconds.

• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the built-in flash

may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the built-in flash
by, for example, using a diffuser).

Other external flash units

Observe the following precautions when mounting an external flash unit not designated
for use with this camera on the camera hot shoe:

• Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 24 V to the camera hot

shoe X-contact will damage the camera.

• Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications

may damage the camera.

• Use only with the camera in shooting mode M at ISO settings other than [AUTO].
• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the flash to the ISO sensitivity

and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by
adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.

• Use a flash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually

expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.
