Dustproof, splashproof, freezeproof to -10?

The FL-700WR features dustproof, splashproof, freezeproof performance to -10?. When paired with the excellent reliability of the OM-D E-M1X, E-M1 Mark II, or E-M5 Mark II, the system can handle any scenario.

High-speed recycle time

The FL-700WR features a short charging time of approximately 1.5 seconds^[1] even at full output, resulting in a short wait time and easier shooting. At 1/16 output when using 10 fps tracking sequential shooting, the flash can fire^[2] for more than 50 frames.

*2. Only when using AA nickel metal hydride batteries (Ni-MH), and E-M1X, E-M1 Mark II mechanical shutter

Supports up to 3 groups, unlimited multi-flash shooting

Multi-flash unit photography is possible with up to three flash groups. An unlimited number of flash units can be connected.

When used as a commander, the flash can scan to detect unused channels.

Easily adjust the output with a single hand

When used as a receiver, the flash is equipped with X-RCV (individual settings) for adjusting the sync mode and flash output settings on the flash. The dial can be operated with a single hand. This design feature makes it easy to operate even during handheld off-camera flash photography.

Scan to detect unused channels

Compact, lightweight flash that is dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof down to -10?

The FL-900R is compact and lightweight, making it highly portable. Additionally, since it is dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof down to -10? like the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, E-M1, or E-M5 Mark II, using this flash with any of those cameras lets you shoot in a variety of severe environments.

Various shooting functions

High Res Shot, Focus Stacking, and Focus Bracketing

This flash can be used with High Res Shot included on models such as the E-M1 Mark II. Focus Stacking and Focus Bracketing can also be used.

* Manual flash only
* The flash is not available when using Handheld High Res Shot on the E-M1X.

This flash supports multi-firing for expressing subject motion by firing the flash multiple times during long exposures or bulb shooting.

* Supported cameras: E-M1X, E-M1 Mark II, E-M10 Mark III, and Olympus PEN E-PL9 (as of January 2019)
* Caution: successive use of the flash on human subjects may affect their health.

Advanced basic function

Super FP flash

This sync mode enables flash photography even when using a high-speed shutter that exceeds the synchronisation speed of the camera. This feature can be used to open the aperture for defocusing the foreground or background even when using fill-in flash in bright outdoor conditions.

First curtain and second curtain sync

In addition to the normal first curtain sync, second curtain sync is supported for firing the flash right before the shutter closes. Using slow sync makes it possible to express a natural dynamism for moving subjects.

TTL flash

This sync mode lets the camera automatically control the flash output using the brightness of light passing through the lens. When switching to manual mode after firing the flash once using TTL flash, it is possible to retain the TTL flash output^[1].
