The FL-50 Flash offers all the features a
professional wants to produce professional-caliber results.
Along with the standard bounce and swivel capability, power zoom
and a full range of TTL Automatic, Automatic and Manual flash
modes, the FL-50 offers the Super FP Mode. This allows for flash
sync at speeds up to 1/4000th second so fill-flash can be used
in the brightest of situations.
This is achieved by the flash's ability to fire before the
shutter opens and stay illuminated until after the shutter
closes. Designed specifically for digital photography, the FL-50
flash also has more even illumination with less corner fall-off
than traditional film flashes. The Guide Number is 164 feet/50
meters at ISO 100.
The FL-50 can be powered by multiple power sources, including
standard AA-type Alkaline, NiCad, Ni-MH, Lithium batteries,
LB-01 (CR-3V) batteries or be used in conjunction with the
separate HV-1 High Voltage Power Pack or Power Flash Grip for
additional power and speed capabilities.
When connected with the optional SHV-1 Flash high-voltage set,
the FL-50 will recharge between shots in just 1.5 seconds.
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 ca
mera'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.
