SLOW2/2nd Curtain makes the flash fire just before the shutter closes to create trails of light behind moving light sources.

Adjust flash output

The flash output can be adjusted if you find that your subject appears overexposed or underexposed. Press the OK button and select a flash intensity control item using the rear dial. Then select a flash compensation value using the front dial and press the OK button.

External flash

You can also attach an external flash to the E-M10 Mark II via the built-in flash hot shoe.
Slide off the protective cover.

Slide the flash unit all the way into the hot shoe to ensure it is securely attached to your camera.

Press the UNLOCK button on the flash to unlock it and then remove the flash unit by sliding it back and out from the camera.

Congratulations! You’ve finished chapter 5!
