This is the first Olympus flash system ever to feature a built-in LED especially designed for difficult illumination, whatever still or movie situation. For still photographers, the FL-600R is also equipped with wireless functionality, enabling up to four channels and groups at long range in Commander Mode, for remarkably versatile illumination of whatever the scene you are shooting. And there’s even more versatility thanks to an adjustable bounce angle of up to 90 degrees and side-to-side rotation up to 180 degrees, plus a diffuser plate for smoother lighting. To top it off, an integrated control dial and arrow key make all menu operations very user-friendly indeed.
Product Features:
HIGH INTENSITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE
The high-intensity FL-900R boasts a guide number of 58 meters (at ISO 100) and covers a wide range of focal lengths with an electronic zoom head. A built-in wide panel enables you to use wider focal length lenses and have perfect coverage, and a catchlight panel illuminates your portrait subjects' eyes effortlessly.
DUST AND SPLASHPROOF CONSTRUCTION
The FL-900R boasts dust and splashproof construction that perfectly complements weatherproof OM-D camera bodies and all M.Zuiko PRO lenses, enabling you to illuminate your subject in the harshest of weather. Dark and stormy conditions are no match for your complete OM-D system.
MULTIPLE FLASHES, NO WIRES
With Olympus' RC (remote control) system, you have access to a variety of wireless flash options. Use the FL-900R as a master flash to trigger additional RC compatible flash units, as a slave in one of four independently controlled groups, or as a commander flash using the included IR filter. Four available channels mean the RC Mode is resistant to interference from other photographers, so you can comfortably shoot events when other photographers are nearby.
BUILT-IN LED VIDEO LIGHT
The built-in 1.5w LED light in the FL-900R is a useful tool as both a continuous source for video shooting and as a focus assist light when shooting stills. One-touch on/off control lets you quickly access 100 Lux power (at 1m) when you find yourself in a low-light situation.
ADVANCED FEATURES WITH OM-D E-M1 MARK II
When paired with the OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera body, the FL-900R becomes a sequential shooting powerhouse. The flash fires continuously at 10 frames per second for 100 shots at 1/128 power or 30 times at 1/32 power! State-of-the-art charging circuitry enables the FL-900R to recycle in just 2.5 seconds when shooting sequentially, so you're assured of getting the shot. An improved FP mode with expanded range lets you shoot beyond E-M1 Mark II's sync speed without the worry of overexposure. The new Multi Mode allows you to capture movement in your photos, by firing the flash multiple times during one exposure, further enhancing your creative control.
