Flash shooting

If you shoot a subject using a lens that is wider than 14mm (equivalent to 28mm on a 35mm

film camera), the light emitted by the flash may produce a vignette effect. Whether or not

vignetting occurs also depends on lens type and shooting conditions (such as distance to the

subject).

1 Press the # button to raise the built-in

flash.

• The built-in flash will pop up automatically and

fire in low light conditions under the following

modes.

AUTO/i/&///G/r/g

2 Press the shutter button halfway.

•The # (flash stand-by) mark lights when the

flash is ready to fire. If the mark is blinking, the

flash is charging. Wait until charging is

complete.

3 Press the shutter button all the way.

When you do not want the flash to pop up automatically:

j Set [AUTO POP UP] to [OFF]. g“AUTO POP UP” (P. 100)

To shoot without having to wait for the flash to finish charging:

j See “RLS PRIORITY S/RLS PRIORITY C” (gP. 97).

x Notes

• When [#RC MODE] is set to [ON], the built-in flash will fire only to communicate with the

external flash so it will not function as a flash. g“Shooting with the Olympus wireless RC

flash system” (P. 78)

The flash intensity can be adjusted from +3 to -3.

In some situations (e.g., when shooting small subjects, distant backgrounds, etc.), you may

get better results by adjusting the amount of light emitted by the flash (“flash intensity”). It is

useful when you intend to increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of images

to make the images more vivid.
