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).

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.

When you do not want the flash to pop up automatically:
j Set [AUTO POP UP] to [OFF]. g“AUTO POP UP” (P. 101)

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. 79)
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.
