Review Summary

When my internal flash died on my Olympus C-7070 Widezoom, I bought this model. The other Oly models were too big and expensive for my needs. This flash works perfectly. It may not be powerful enough for some applications, but the lightweight and small size are ideal. This flash never misfires, recycles in about 1 second with cheap non-rechargeable AAs. Batteries last forever. For a low-end external flash, this unit is a top performer. I actually ended up buying the Olympus FL-36, and returned it within a week due to the extremely slow recharge time. Unless you need a super-powered bounce flash, this Fl-20 is ideal.

Had no problems with it at all. I use it mostly when the distance to subject is too great for the built-in flash.

Perfect flash for a smaller camera

• A powerful and ultra compact flash for digital cameras. Exclusively designed for use with the CAMEDIA digital cameras, this external flash unit combines power and versatile performance in a very compact, stylish form. With a high max. guide number of 65ft (20M), 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. To meet the requirements of CCDs which are more sensitive than film, this model permits flash brightness adjustment in 1/8EV increments.
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.
