DSLR and Olympus UFL1

3 posts
  1. Hi all,

    I says in the description that Olympus UFL1 is meant for digital compacts, while UFL2 is used for both. What does that actually mean? Is it that UFL1 is unable to provide correctly functioning TTL with an Olympus DSLR? Or is it just the statement that they believe you would like a more powerful flash with a DSLR?

    Thanks!

  2. UFL-2 when using a wired cable to a DSLR housing will mimic the same operation as the Olympus land strobes. Like auto zoom of the strobe when you zoom a lens. If using fiber optic cables to fire the strobe the strobe zoom is done manually. Both strobes will work with both types of cameras but the UFL-2 is more suited to the DSLR and the UFL-1 is a smaller,less powerful and less expensive strobe more in line with what most digicam shooters would want.

  3. Thank you. So basically the aside from power and size, the main difference is the behavior when used with wired connection. When used optical cable both behave the same way, right?
