Remember the Essentials
Batteries are required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase batteries for this item.
The Olympus FL-14 Flash is a basic but efficient TTL unit for use on the E-P1 Pen or any other Olympus digital camera with TTL capacity. Short and wide with a black and silver color to match the E-P1's aesthetics, the FL-14 provides excellent efficiency with just 2 small "AAA" batteries. With straight-forward controls and TTL flash exposure when mounted on the E-P1 or other Olympus digitals, the FL-14 won't intimidate the casual user while still providing perfectly-exposed images with 14mm and longer lenses.
- Styling & Shape Perfectly Fitted to the E-P1 Pen Camera
- The FL-14's short height and silver-and-black color scheme's an ideal match to the tiny E-P1 Pen camera.
- 3 Selectable Flash Modes
- Mount the FL-14 directly on the E-P1 (or other Olympus TTL-enabled digital cameras) for perfect TTL exposure, or use "Auto" thyristor-enabled autoexposure and "Manual" full-power flash if preferred.
- Thrifty on Power
- The FL-14 makes 80 full-power flashes with two tiny "AAA" batteries, and 130 flashes with most NiMH units. In TTL mode at moderate 200-400 ISO settings you will get even more flashes on a single set of "AAA" batteries.
- Simple Fixed Coverage
- The FL-14's a no-fuss device; it has a fixed 70 x 55° illumination beam that will fully illuminate the field of view of a 14mm lens on the E-P1 camera.

Fits in the hotshoe. Good closure. Pen cameras are pretty good in low light, but sometimes even a small flash makes the difference.

Comments about FL-14 Shoe Mount Flash f/ EP-1 Pen (& Other Olympus Digital Cameras):
A well-built, compact flash that 'talks' to the camera. Small enough to carry around with no problems but enough power to do the job. The only down side is having to put it on and take it off when needed. I use this for get-togethers and family photos.

Comments about FL-14 Shoe Mount Flash f/ EP-1 Pen (& Other Olympus Digital Cameras):
Fast and easy to use - great to add the flash to the EP-1 and it works absolutely fine in a pocket or in my bag when not needed. I've found it to be a little overwhelming when on auto at less than a metre or two; the flash is happiest a little further away.
Pros
- Easy to use
- Good Results for Fill In
- Style Matches Camera
Cons
- Can overpower subject
- On-Camera Limitations
Best Uses
- Fill Flash
Comments about FL-14 Shoe Mount Flash f/ EP-1 Pen (& Other Olympus Digital Cameras):
I purchased this to go with my E-P1, knowing that it lacks a built in flash. The flash is easy to use and produces decent results for an on-camera flash. Its limitations are the same as for built-in flashes, particularly on small cameras (red eye, over exposure, etc.). If you need fill in flash, this is a must and with some adjustments on the camera, the flash gets the job done.
Pros
- Easy to use
- Lightweight
- Match E-P1 PEN
- Small
Cons
- Guide no could be higher
Best Uses
- Fill Flash
- Personal use
- Portrait
Comments about FL-14 Shoe Mount Flash f/ EP-1 Pen (& Other Olympus Digital Cameras):
I use the FL-14 flash primarily as a fill flash. It´s small and easy to use. Much better than any internal flash, but not as good as a "regular" external flash.
