Some cameras support the AF measuring beam in the flash unit only with the

camera’s central AF sensor. If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then the AF

measuring beam will not be activated in the flash unit.

18 Wireless Olympus RC flash system ( )

As a slave flash unit, the flash unit is compatible with the wireless Olympus RC

flash system (RC = remote control/remote mode). The system supports the wire-

less remote control of one or several slave flash units by the camera's integrated

flash unit, which operates as a controller flash unit (remote mode). The flash light

of the controller flash unit controls the slave flash unit and does not significantly

contribute to the exposure of the shot.

The slave flash unit(s) must be able to receive the light from the controller flash

unit with the integrated sensor for the remote mode ቤ .

The slave flash mode is only supported by suitable cameras (e.g.,

Olympus E3, E420, SP570UZ) ! Please refer to the camera operating

manual for information on the camera settings for the remote mode RC.

In the remote mode, the flash range is not indicated on the flash unit!

Switching the wireless RC flash system on and off

• Set the camera to the wireless RC flash mode (see camera operating manual).

• Press the "SEL" key repeatedly until "Select" appears on the display.

̆ and DOWN ̄ keys to select the menu item "Remote". The

̆ and DOWN ̄ keys to select "Remote Slave" to activate (or

as the flash readiness display ቲ lights up when the flash is

ready.

18.1 Remote modes

The wireless Olympus RC flash system supports the remote modes TTL, automatic

A and manual M. The remote mode must be selected on the camera.

Additionally, FP high-speed synchronisation is supported in the remote modes

TTL and manual M (see camera operating manual for settings and further infor-

mation). The selected remote mode will automatically be transferred from the

controller to the slave flash unit.

In the remove modes TTL and automatic A, additional manual flash expo-

sure corrections can be set on the camera (see camera operating manual).

Remote groups

The slave flash unit can be assigned to one of three possible groups (A, B or C).

Each of these groups may consist of one or more slave flash units.

• In the remote mode, press the "Para" key repeatedly until only "GROUP" (=

remote group) and the remote group are displayed. Press (+) and (-) to per-

form the desired settings. You can select group A, B or C. The setting will take

effect immediately.

do not press „Return“ , the display will automatically switch to "SLAVE RC"

after approximately 5 seconds..

18.2 Remote channels

To prevent several remote systems in the same room from interfering with each

other, there are 4 independent remote channels (CHANNEL 1, 2, 3 or 4).

Controller and slave flash units belonging to the same remote system must all be

set to the same remote channel.
