Exclusively designed for digital, the Olympus FL-50R Dedicated Flash is a powerful, intelligent flash. It is the ideal companion to the Olympus E-3 digital SLR, which features Olympus' newly-developed RC Data Transfer System that transmits data optically. This significantly reduces the power consumption of the built-in flash when being used as the system commander. A wide range of flash-related settings can be easily accessed and adjusted using the camera's LCD display. Wireless flash control is available in three groups, allowing flash mode and compensation settings to be set independently for each group, enabling ultra-precise illumination.

The high guide number of 36 meters/118 feet at 42mm (35mm equivalent of 84mm) and ISO 100 delivers power in a compact design. The FL-36R flash unit allows 1/8EV-step accuracy to satisfy the high light metering precision digital photography demands, and has a rotary flash head that can be rotated in four directions.
The Olympus FL-50 Dedicated Flash is a powerful, intelligent flash. The higher guide number of 50 meter/165 feet provides the power of a dedicated flash that the pro wants and perfect synchronization with the camera's metering and focus systems to provide accurate lighting for any situation. A full-featured powerhouse, the FL-50 allows for flash sync at shutter speeds up to 1/4000th of a second in the FP mode for fill-in light in the brightest conditions. Or TTL Flash at the E-1 flash sync speed of 1/180th second for every day shooting.
The Olympus FL-36 is a powerful, yet light and compact external flash. Designed specifically for use with digital cameras, the FL-36 rounds out the comprehensive lineup of "designed for digital" accessories for the E-System Digital SLR cameras and other prosumer models from Olympus. The FL-36 flash offers the robust and full-featured functionality of the larger FL-50 combined with cost effectiveness. The FL-36 is compact, lightweight and extremely portable, and is approximately 25% shorter and 35% lighter than the larger FL-50 flash, a significant space and weight savings.

The included FS-FC1 Macro Flash Controller facilitates macro photography using TTL Automatic Flash and is simple to mount on the E System camera. The included SR-1 Shoe Ring allows the angle of each light to be adjusted.
For soft, even close-up flashes, choose the SRF-11 Ring Flash. To allow shadow-free close-up photography, this flash unit uses a circular tube as its light source and is ideal for medical and macro photography. The ring flash head provides uniform, shadow-free illumination for macro photography, providing outstanding results in dermatology and dentistry and anywhere something needs to put on record.
