Appendix
Using an Olympus FL series dedicated external flash enables you to take advantage of a wider
variety of flash shooting techniques. A dedicated external flash automatically detects the flash mode
and exposure settings of the camera, in the same way as the built-in flash. An external flash
specified for use with this camera can be attached to the hot shoe on the top of the camera or used
in combination with an FL-BK01 flash bracket (optional) and FL-CB02 bracket cable (optional).
1
Slide the hot shoe cover off in the direction of the arrow and attach
the external flash.
• For instructions on how to attach the external flash, refer to the manual provided with the
flash.
• Keep the hot shoe cover in a safe place to avoid losing it, and put it back on the camera after
removing the external flash.
2
Turn the external flash on.
• Set the flash control mode of the flash to TTL-AUTO.
• Be sure to attach the flash to the camera before turning the flash on.
3
Press 3# repeatedly to set the flash mode.
