High-Powered Electronic Flash

The Olympus FL-700WR is a high-powered on-camera flash that’s right at home with their professional level mirrorless cameras. With a maximum guide number of 42m at ISO 100/m, this compact unit delivers impressive output.

Quick Recycle Time

A recycle time of just 1.5 seconds for a full powered flash means less time waiting and more time taking photos. This quick recharge time lends itself to sequential shooting modes, at up to 10fps, keeping up with the speeds of modern cameras.

Wireless Radiowave Communication

The FL-700WR comes equipped with wireless radio wave communication that can operate at a distance of up to 30m, even in challenging locations where there may be obstructions. This ensures reliable communication with the flash, even if you can’t see it.

Built-In Receiver

A built-in receiver function allows you to use the FL700WR as a flash or commander. When used as a commander, it can connect to 3 groups and an unlimited number of flash units. Operate specific groups independently by selecting which one to fire or not fire.

Multi-Flash Mode

Multi-Flash Mode supports creative shooting endeavours like long exposure or bulb shooting. This mode fires the flash multiple times to capture the movement of your subject. Flash intensity and frequency can be adjusted to perfectly match your shooting scenario.

High Res Shot Compatibility

The flash is also compatible with Olympus cameras that feature Focus Stacking, Focus Bracketing, and High Res Shot modes. This is deal for a completely streamlined workflow from the camera, to the editing desk.

TTL Mode and Super FP Flash

TTL pre-flash measures the required flash intensity based on your camera settings and Super FP allows high-speed sync that exceeds your camera’s maximum sync speed. This is ideal when working in challenging lighting conditions like shooting in bright daylight.

LED Video Light

For added convenience, the flash unit also has a built-in LED light with a 77° illumination angle a 100 lux output at 1m. This feature is great for shooting videos where constant lighting sources are big requirements.

Rugged, Weather Resistant Design

Complementing their O-MD Pro cameras, like the E-M1mkII and E-M1X, the Olympus FL-700 WR flash is built incredibly tough. It’s dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof to -10°C, giving you the ability to work outside, rain, snow, or shine.
