Taking pictures with commercially available external
flashes
External flashes (commercially available) can also be used with the exclusive
FL-BK01 (optional) and FL-CB01 bracket cable (optional). For details about
how and when to use external flash, see “Usable commercially available
external flashes”. (P. 116)
1 Mount an 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.
2 Set the mode dial to M.
3 Turn on the external flash.
4 Set the flash mode on the external
flash. Also set ISO and aperture
on the external flash to match the
camera’s settings.

The camera's flash mode will have no effect on the external flash. The
external flash will fire even when the camera's flash mode is set to OFF.
●
Check the following before using a commercially available external flash:
•
Some flashes available on the market operate with a high voltage synchro
terminal. If one of these 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
terminal 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 external flash you are using is synchronized
with the camera.
●
We highly recommend that an Olympus external flash be used with this
camera.
