About this product

Product Information

When taking pictures in a darker environment, the flash is a critical component of the camera. While many cameras have built-in flashes, an external unit can take the performance of your camera to the next level of functionality. The Olympus FL-36R is a shoe mount flash that is specially designed to be compatible with Olympus digital SLR cameras. One of its most convenient features is the ease of connection. No cables are required, which simplifies and speeds up the process. The metal brackets that support the shoe mount also provide the electrical connection needed to work the flash through the camera. The Olympus flash is powerful enough to improve the quality of pictures taken even in less-than-perfect light conditions.External flashes, especially when focusing at low light levels, can sometimes be difficult to use in conjunction with internal built-in units due to their white light. But rather than taking up to 5 attempts to get your picture focused, the FL 36R gets your photo focused rapidly. This is done by providing a red flash that is closer to the center of the color spectrum, thus balancing the picture out. No strobe assistance is required, so those in the picture won't be blinded by the strobe lights afterward.Take advantage of the swiveling and tilting flash head of the Olympus FL 36R Shoe Mount. When you need a warmer, softer, and cleaner look, the FL-36R head can make the lights bounce off of the walls and ceilings. The vertical rotation angle is up to +90 / -1.5, with the horizontal rotation angle capable of rotating up to +180 / -90. Between this feature and the unit being mounted over the lens, the problem of red-eye is virtually eliminated.With 3 times the power of standard built-in units, these accessories for the serious photographer will easily fill a large room with lighting, focusing the entire picture. With the Super FPP mode, the FL36R can synchronize with the camera even at extremely high shutter speeds. This feature is ideal for those that enjoy taking action shots or of objects that move fast, such as animals. You can also create fun effects for your pictures by using the manual mode and having the flash be triggered by the built-in standard mounts of the camera. This allows for multiple lights and sources.With dimensions of 7.2 inches by 3.9 inches by 2.9 inches, this shoe mount from Olympus is compact in size. Additionally, weighing less than 1 pound, it won't weigh you or your camera down. This accessory is sturdy, allowing it to hold up even with the intense use of an active photographer’s life. Keep the power going and minimize downtime, as it only requires 2 AA alkaline batteries or a CR-V3 lithium battery pack. Those using the battery pack have the option to recharge the batteries, providing versatility and flexibility.The wireless accessory is suitable for professional use and it is compatible with professional digital cameras and rapid shooting. This means that up to three different lighting source groups can be controlled directly through the camera and without requiring an additional control.

Solid flash, I recommend.
Great flash, the perfect size for my Olympus em10 camera, and works great with the Olympus remote control function. TTL metering works perfect.

A well suited flash for the E volt series 4/3 product line.
This flash works well with the E-620 and E-500 bodies I have. The flash recycles quickly. I like that it has remote capability and is triggered by the E-620. It only has two AA batteries so keep some spares on hand if using it frequently. The flash is light and easy to carry in my kit bag.

Great flash
Great flash for the money and it communicates with my Panasonic lumix Lx5. You need special cable for off camera flash but it is easy to find. Alot less than the pana/lumix flash.

It works, but
It's functional but the power switch is finicky and so is the hot shoe lock knob. Removing the flash from my Olympus is often an adventure. On the camera, the flash works despite its "limitations." But, if I purchase a flash again, I will buy new.

Great Little Flash
Nice compact flash. Only uses two AA batteries, making it even lighter and more compact, but it is a little slow to recycle, as a result. Overall, I really like it.

Wasn't too sure about buying used
The used Olympus FL-36R electronic flash for my Olympus E-510 is great! I didn't buy one several years ago because new it was out of my price range. Great buy.
