    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Having them work as the flash controller is excellent as well when the little clip on flash to the em5 wont reach far enough to trigger them remotely


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The interface is pretty good as long as you dont need to reconfigure the advanced settings oftenthe shooting settings are easy enough but i normally dont use the back panel its easier to use the controls on the camera


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Adjusting settings is not very intuitive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    On the fly changes take too long and the dials and buttons are very small


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Documentation by olympus is very basic


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    What i found is that the ground connection was not adequate and was intermittent


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The ground connection between the camera and flash is provided by two contacts in the side groove of the flash which should contact bare metal spots on the inner edges of the camera hot shoe


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    On my camera the flash side contacts slid past the bare spots and were partially on the painted portion
