Ring Flash Unit
FS-RF11
This ring flash head offers shadowless,
homogeneous illumination for macro photography, such as capturing
jewellery,
documentation in dentistry and other recording work. The Ring Flash
Unit FS-RF11
may be attached to the ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-54mm and 50-200mm lenses using
their
bayonet mounts or to the ZUIKO DIGITAL 50mm macro lens with the Flash
Adapter
Ring FS-FR1. TTL auto flash macro shooting is easily conducted with the

Ring Flash Set
FS-SRF11
Comprising the Ring Flash Unit FS-RF11
and Macro Flash Controller FS-FC1, this set also comes with an
attractive,
high-quality case to carry and protect all the

Twin Flash Unit
TF-22
This flash unit combines two separate
flash heads which can be positioned in any desired direction or angle
with the
bundled Shoe Ring SR-1. In addition, the flash heads may be fired
simultaneously
or singly. It is also possible to adjust the balance of flash output
between the
heads up to a ratio of 8:1 for either head. With 19 adjustment levels
between
these points, this affords a great deal of control while still
maintaining
perfect overall exposure. The result is enormous versatility in
lighting
effects, such as achieving an even illumination for copying documents
or
purposely creating shadow effects. TTL auto macro shooting may be
carried out
with the Macro Flash Controller FS-FC1. The unit can be attached to the
ZUIKO
DIGITAL 14-54mm and 50-200mm lenses using the bayonet for the lens hood
or

Ring

the Flash
High Voltage Set FS-SHV-1.
