Ideal for wedding, event, and portrait photographers, it delivers exceptionally soft light quality and consistent output via its high-capacity lithium-ion battery.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the V1O, slide the hot shoe mount firmly into your Olympus or Panasonic camera's accessory shoe and lock it in place. The V1O is designed for TTL (Through-The-Lens) communication, so verify your camera settings are set to TTL mode for automated exposure. Always charge the 2600mAh lithium-ion battery fully before long shoots using the provided charger. Keep the flash head clean and avoid touching the Fresnel lens with bare fingers, as oils can affect light quality. When packing, retract the head to the neutral position to prevent damage to the swivel mechanism. Always carry the flash in a padded camera bag when traveling to protect the internal electronic components from vibration and impact.
