| With the release of firmware version 3.1 for the Olympus SP-560 UZ, wireless flash control has been added to the capabilities of this high-performance 18x ultra-zoom camera. Representing a considerable advance in illumination options, this update enables easy remote control over the optional Olympus FL-36R and FL-50R flash units, which were especially conceived for release with the Olympus E-3 D-SLR flagship, remotely. Four channels are available for wireless control over the external units to ensure dedicated flash management in all situations. During operation, the SP-560 UZ’s internal flash operates as the controller only and has no influence over exposure.
The firmware update is now available for immediate download at no charge. To download and install this firmware update, simply open the Olympus Master software, connect the camera via USB to the computer and log onto the internet. Choose the Update Camera function from the Online Service menu in the Olympus Master software and the update will commence immediately. |
