Hi Chuck,
Thanks for your comments and sorry to be delayed with my answer. The reason
why I ordered the flash is because I started taking pictures in USA and I
need it for yesterday. Finally I had to use the mini flash that came with
the camera and I used it in combination with ISO 1600 and the results were
spectacular! Wow this camera rocks! I bought two more BLN-1 batteries
because I thought I would have problems using the flash with E-M5 battery
and I never had to replace it! I shot 605 pictures using the flash in
nearly 80% of them! I spent four hours in this Sweet16 party and everything
resulted to be great! I simply love this camera, it´s my OM4T. Most of the
pictures were taken indoors but the ones I took outdoors using the M.ZUIKO
45mm f1.8 were amazing!. The girl´s mom told me to go to another party next
weekend :)
I received a reply from Olympus and the flash seems to be defective.
Thanks again for sharing with me all your ideas.
Take care,
David
