Exclusively designed for use with the Olympus digital cameras that are equipped with a hot shoe or flash-sync connection, this external flash unit combines power and versatile performance in a very compact, stylish form. With a high max. guide number of 20, the FL-20 ensures effective illumination while the manual, normal auto and auto TTL control modes allow the user the choice between full creativity or worry-free automatic operation.
The FL-20 flash is a small and light-weight external flash that can be placed directly on the hot shoe of your camera, or used via cable with the FL-BK01 bracket. When used with the FL-BK01, the TTL-TTL Cable (FL-CB01) is required for cameras with a TTL connector. Cameras with a hotshoe will require the Hot Shoe Cable (FL-CB02).

Comments about FL-20 Flash for Olympus Digital Cameras:
I purchased the FL-20 to use as an external flash for the E-P2.
Pros: Lower price compared to the FL-14; Weight, size, and color complement the E-P2 finish; Position of flash helps to avoid redeye; the case that comes with it helps one keep track of the camera's accessory port cover.
Cons: Not really powerful enough for standard DSLR
