Flash shooting
Optional electronic flashes
In addition to this camera’s built-in flash capabilities, you can take advantage of a
variety of flash shooting techniques to suit different shooting conditions with the
flash units specified for use with this camera — the Olympus FL-50, FL-36, and
FL-20 electronic flashes.
These flashes communicate with the camera to make available various flash
modes, such as auto-flash, red-eye reduction flash, slow synchronization, and
controlled light emission. The flash can be mounted on the camera by attaching it
to the camera’s hot shoe.
