The high-powered FL-50 electronic flash has been developed especially for use with digital cameras. Various adjustment modes, high speed synchronisation and a large range of accessories make the FL-50 a creative working tool for the Olympus E-1 user.
The FL-50 provides GN28 at a 12mm focal length (equivalent to 24mm on a 35mm camera; ISO 100) and GN50 at 42mm focal length (equivalent to 85mm on a 35mm camera; ISO 100).
Features:
- TTL auto, auto, and manual modes can be set.
- Bounce and swivel head.
- The usual synchronisation speed is 1/180 sec. However, the FL-50 includes a newly-developed Super FP mode. Unlike conventional flash systems that close the aperture down to provide synchronisation at faster shutter speeds, the Super FP activates the flash from the moment the shutter opens until it is fully closed so the fill-flash can be used in the brightest situations and stop action at the highest speeds. Synchronisation across the entire shutter speed range is possible – even up to 1/4000 sec. with the Olympus E-1.
- Flash coverage is automatically adjusted in several steps to correspond to the image area when zooming. A built-in diffuser can be used to obtain wide-angle coverage at an 8mm focal length (equivalent to 16mm on a 35mm camera).
- The flash features an AF lamp to extend the reach of the camera’s AF system from 7m to 10m.
- With the Olympus E-1 digital SLR, you can control the flash intensity 1/3EV steps, as well as take advantage of features such as red-eye reduction, slow synchronisation and second curtain synchronisation.
- Besides AA alkaline batteries, the LB-01 lithium battery pack, the fast-charging SHV-1 high-voltage set, or the FP-1 flash power grip can be used to power the FL-50.
