Flash for All-Weather Conditions
This high-performance flash features a dust-, splash-, and freezeproof (-10°C) construction in a compact and lightweight housing. When combined with the weather-sealed cameras of the OM-D series and M.Zuiko PRO lenses, users can shoot in harsh environments without concern. This high-intensity flagship flash boasts a maximum guide number of 42. The combination of the camera's built-in image processor (TruePic) with TTL synchronization technology enables optimal lighting during photo shoots. The flash is equipped with a wireless lighting mode, allowing for high-intensity multi-flash photography via wireless control up to a distance of 30m. This enables control over up to 3 flash groups and an unlimited number of flash units, allowing users to select whether a group fires, compensate flash output, and adjust various settings. An additional feature is the slave function, where the flash can be attached to a camera's hot shoe and used as the master flash while employing the commander function. The Olympus High Res. Shot, Focus Stacking, and Focus Bracketing functions are supported, enabling shorter shooting intervals. The FL-700WR also includes an LED light for movies, effective for shooting OM-D Movies in low light or backlit conditions.
