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, hood and shooting conditions (such as distance
to the subject).

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. 80)
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.
