OM System FL-700WR Electronic Flash

Introduction

Sleek yet powerful, Olympus FL-700WR Electronic Flash is a wireless TTL-enabled strobe characterized by its weather-sealed design and 2.4 GHz radio control capabilities. The flash features a guide number of 137.8′ at ISO 100, is fully compatible with the Olympus TTL system, and can function as a radio commander or receiver for wireless remote flash setups. Additionally, hybrid stills/video shooters can benefit from this flash as well thanks to a built-in LED video light for constant illumination.

The flash head’s design permits up to 90 upward tilt and 180 rotation in both directions for full bounce flash control. The flash’s design offers seamless operation via rear dials and an LCD screen, and it conveniently accepts four AA batteries as its power source. Additionally, matching Olympus OM-D-series cameras, the body is splash, dust, and freeze-resistant for working in trying conditions.
