You have discovered the magic of photography and love to capture every memorable moment? Capturing the unexpected requires a good camera and the proper accessories. An external flash is indispensable, because as every amateur photographer can attest, you can never have enough light.
The digital METZ flash is designed for Olympus/Panasonic/Leica mirror cameras. It features an integrated LED light, which can be helpful when you need to light up your videos. The flash is very easy to use and has a solid metal base that attaches to the camera via a lock system. Modern external flashes support TTL (Through The Lens) and connect to camera with the so-called "hot shoe" socket with several points of contact, through which the flash communicates with the camera.
The flash allows you to download the latest firmware through its USB slot, which is located next to the battery. The device fully supports all the advanced features typical for professional cameras by the leading manufacturers. It also features a horizontally rotatable and vertically tiltable reflector, flip-out reflector card, and an integrated wide-angle diffuser that open up incredible possibilities for lighting-related work. Other special features include first and second shutter curtain synchronisation. The flash is powered by four AA batteries, not included. What is included, however, are detailed instructions that will teach you how to get the most out of your flash.
