Adjust the settings for each group in the LV super control panel.

Flash intensity value

Group

• Select the fl ash control 

mode and adjust the fl ash 
intensity separately for 
each group. For MANUAL, 
select the fl ash intensity.

Normal fl ash/Super FP fl ash

• Switch between normal 

fl ash and Super FP fl ash.

Communication light level

• Set the communication 

light level to [HI], [MID], 
or [LO].

Channel

• Set the communication 

channel to the same 
channel used on the fl ash.

Adjust settings for the camera 
fl ash unit.

Attach the supplied fl ash unit and turn on the camera.

• After confi rming that the built-in and remote fl ash units have charged, take a test shot.



Position the wireless fl ash units with their 
remote sensors facing the camera. The 
following illustration shows the approximate 
ranges at which the fl ash units can be 
positioned. The actual control range varies 
with local conditions.

•  We recommend using a single group of up to three remote fl ash units.
• Remote fl ash units cannot be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock 

exposures longer than 4 seconds.

•  If the subject is too close to the camera, the control fl ashes emitted by the camera fl ash 

may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the camera 
fl ash by, for example, using a diffuser).

•  The upper limit of fl ash synchronization timing is 1/250 sec. when using the fl ash in RC 

mode.

Note the following when using a third-party fl ash unit mounted on the camera hot shoe:

• Using obsolete fl ash units that apply currents of more than about 250 V to the X-contact 

will damage the camera.

• Connecting fl ash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifi cations 

may damage the camera.

•  Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than fl ash 

synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting other than [AUTO]. 

•  Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the fl ash to the ISO sensitivity 

and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by 
adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.

• Use a fl ash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually 

expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.
