Red eye reduction lamp function
With the Olympus Four Thirds System digital SLR camera, the illuminators function as red-eye
reduction lamps that light up for about 1 second to minimize red eyes caused by flash emission.
• It takes about 1 second from the time the illuminators light until the camera’s shutter releases.
Hold the camera firmly during this period to prevent image blur.
• The red eye reduction effect may become less obvious when the subject does not look at the
flash directly from the front, the subject does not look at the pre-flash, the subject is located at a
distance or due to individual properties of the subject.
<Selecting the control mode>
1. Press the Shutter button of the camera gently to start com-
munication of shooting information including ISO speed,
lens iris and shutter speed between the camera and Macro
Flash System.
•The selected flash control mode is shown on the control
panel.
• The mode is switched every time the MODE button is
pressed.
