Flash technology for the ultimate<br />
in flexibility and convenience.<br />
Olympus’ new RC Data Transfer System<br />
enables wireless communication between<br />
the camera and special external flash units<br />
such as the new FL-50R and FL-36R.<br />
No separate commander unit is required<br />
because all functions are triggered and<br />
controlled directly from the E-3’s integrat -<br />
ed flash. Depending on what lighting setup<br />
you require, up to three separate flash<br />
groups can be controlled directly from the<br />
camera at one time. Settings and adjustments<br />
can be controlled from the Super<br />
Control Panel on the LCD. Now it’s simple<br />
and convenient to experiment with various<br />
lighting options without having to worry<br />
about cable clutter.<br />

Wireless TTL FL-50R flash unit.<br />
The FL-50R electronic flash unit was specially developed<br />
for use in digital photography and utilises RC Data Transfer<br />
Technology. Boasting multiple adjustment modes, highspeed<br />
synchronisation and a large selection of accessories,<br />
this flash unit is the ideal complement to the Olympus E-3.<br />
It has a very powerful GN50 at a focal length of 42mm<br />
(equivalent to 85mm on a 35mm camera; ISO 100), and<br />
GN28 at a focal length of 12mm (equivalent to 24mm on<br />
a 35mm camera; ISO 100).<br />
• The reflector can be tilted and<br />
swivelled.<br />
• The Olympus E-3 enables flash<br />
synchronisation at all shutter<br />
speeds – 1/8000 th sec. in FP mode.<br />
• Flash coverage is automatically<br />
adjusted in several steps to corre-<br />
spond to the focal length of the<br />
lens when zooming.<br />
• In addition to manual settings,<br />
fast recycle intervals of as little<br />
as 1.3 seconds are possible (in<br />
combination with an external<br />
power source).<br />
• The FLBA-1 bounce adapter can<br />
be mounted on the flash head to<br />
diffuse shadows, while the FLRA-1<br />
reflector adapter softens the effects<br />
of bounce lighting. The FL-50R comes<br />
with both items, as well as the FLST-1<br />
flash stand.<br />
