RECORDING—using the flash (Cont.)

Using an external flash

The FL-40 external flash (optional) can be used when taking flash pictures,
either by itself or together with the main flash. To connect the FL-40 to the
camera, the exclusive FL-BK01 flash bracket (optional) and FL-CB01 bracket
cable (optional) are required. Without these options, the FL-40 will not
perform differently from non-Olympus external flashes.

Taking pictures using both the main flash and the FL-40 external flash

If the FL-40 is used, flash mode and exposure compensation will be detected
automatically by the camera, allowing the main flash and external flash to
function together.
Using the two flashes together allows for more sophisticated lighting, such as
catch lighting.

Mount the FL-40 external flash on
the flash bracket, then fasten it to
the camera’s tripod socket and
connect the flash bracket and the
camera’s 5-pin external flash
socket using the bracket cable.

Please refer to each separate
instruction manual for the external
flash, flash bracket, and flash
cable.

The 5-pin external flash socket
cover on the camera is threaded.
Unscrew and remove it before
connecting the bracket cable.
