Selecting the flash (QFLASH)

Basic shooting functions

2 Turn on the external flash.

• Set the mode dial to TTL-AUTO.

• Be sure to attach the flash to the camera before turning the flash on.

3 Press the # button repeatedly to set the flash mode.

g“Flash shooting” (P. 43)

Provided that the flash can be connected to the hot shoe, a commercially available

external flash may be used. For details on compatible commercially available

external flashes, refer to P. 167. The amount of light emitted cannot be adjusted on

commercially available external flashes except Olympus FL series.

1 Attach the external flash to the

hot shoe and connect it to the

camera.

• For instructions on how to attach the

flash, refer to the manual for the external

flash.

2 Adjust the shutter speed and

aperture.

g“Changing the aperture value and

shutter speed for shooting pictures” (P. 56)

• Remember that a slow shutter speed

can produce blurred images. For the

best results, we recommend that you set

the shutter speed from 1/200 to 1/300

seconds.

Note

• If close-up pictures are overexposed, try using the built-in flash by itself.

• When the built-in flash and the external flash are used together, the built-in

flash is used as the compensating light source. If the amount of light from the

external flash is insufficient (beyond its working range), the resulting pictures

may be underexposed.
