Product Description:
The FL-50R is an external flash unit that allows wireless flash settings to be controlled from the camera body. Wireless flash transmission channel settings enable selection of flash/no flash for groups of multiple flash units. In addition it allows TTL auto, auto, and manual modes to be set; offers a bounce and swivel head; and flash coverage is automatically adjusted in several steps to correspond to the image area when zooming. The FL-50 provides GN28 at a 12mm focal length (equivalent to 24mm on a 35mm camera; ISO 100) and GN50 at 42mm focal length (equivalent to 85mm on a 35mm camera; ISO 100). Along with the standard bounce and swivel capability, power zoom and a full range of TTL Automatic, Automatic and Manual flash modes, the FL-50R offers the Super FP Mode enabling flash sync at speeds up to 1/4000th second so fill-flash can be used in the brightest of situations. This is achieved by the flash's ability to fire before the shutter opens and stay illuminated until after the shutter closes. Designed specifically for digital photography, the FL-50R flash also has more even illumination with less corner fall-off than traditional film flashes.
Four remote control communication channels can be set by the user to avoid interference with other peripherals in the vicinity. Photographers also have the option to control wireless transmission distance by choosing between three signal strengths - for a range of up to 33 feet.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - So much better the the fl-36
I've owned the OLY FL-36 for over a year now. I've been happy with it, but the refresh rate was not good at all, especially when the batteries started running low. I recently broke down and bought the FL-50r and I couldn't be happier with it. The refresh is so much faster. I've played around with the fact it will fire when it sees another flash go off, which I think is a neat function. I have an E-510, so it doesn't have the ability to fire it wirelessly, but I'll upgrade to the E-30, E-3 or ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My first flash and probably my last
What can I say, this flash is awesome!!! I am not a professional photographer but was getting tired of constantly being one of many parents running back and forth from the stage to take pictures at my childrens events. The built in flashes really don't provide enough for more than maybe 10 feet away. Even on the SP-570 I own. Adding this flash was one of the best investments I've made when it comes to camera equipment. Now I can take pictures from 40 to 50 feet away and the end result is a beautiful ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'm using it with E-510 & Canon G9
This flash is a great choice for indoor photography and also nice for macro. In the past I used the built-in flash which is making dark shadow behind any object. But using the 50R with the diffuser or reflector is really awesome. No more shadow, balanced lighting and clearer photo. For me, the max ISO I used was 200.

I tested it with my Canon G9 and it works just fine using the manual setting.

For the price, It's great and better choice than the FL-50. I can't use the wireless ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - very good
I use the flash with my Olympus E3 and it is very fast to recycle. It is ready when I'm and the build quality is great.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Olympus FL-50 Flash Review
There is an old saying in photography, which goes something like this: "What really determines the quality of a photo is the lighting and not so much the camera that you are using" I find this to be emphatically true. So to have good lighting I needed a powerful flash. The Olympus FL-50 is one of the most awesome pieces of equipment you could ever add to your photographic arsenal. I have been use the FL-50 since way before I even upgraded to using the Evolt SLRs to take photos. I used my Olympus FL-50 originally ... Read More
