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 signifi-
cantly 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
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!
