Is flash power (not exposure) adjustable?

You can't adjust flash power, Paul. The camera is amazing though. I have enjoyed using it as both a companion to my DSLR and in place of the DSLR when I don't want to lug around a lot of equipment.

Hi Paul - The Olympus Stylus 50 iHS flash power (brightness) is not adjustable. With the spring-loaded flash in the popped-up position (via a mechanical slide switch), the user has three flash options: "on" for fill flash - flashes each time a photo is taken; "off" - never flashes; "automatic" - flashes when lighting conditions are poor. I guess flash intensity could be decreased by fastening a small piece of translucent material in front of the tiny flash (e.g., waxed paper). - Art

As far as I know, it is not. Have you looked at the Olympus web site? You might also want to Google Olympus 50 HS flash power to see if you get anything. I hope this helps.

Yes it does have an ON flash setting. When in "AUTO" mode though, which will automatically choose settings according to conditions, you can only cycle between auto and off flash. If you turn this mode off and choose the settings yourself, then you can choose among auto, on, or off flash settings

Yes. With my nikon in commander mode you can adjust the power in the camera menu for both, manual and TTL

If it can, I have not found that setting yet. I recommend the Cannon Rebel Xti. I use it at work and it is amazing. I set it on action mode and you can snap away, just hold the button! And it has settings to change the aperture for different lighting.

Possibly, the flash speed is adjustable. however you may need 2 or 3 for the proper effect.

Yes, of course. However, for flash exposure compensation, bracketing, and manual mode can not be controlled via camera setting. Those need to be done directly on the flash. Please also check the links below. Hope my two pennies would be useful. http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/dslr/data/2010-/2012_eos_kiss_x6i.html?lang=us&categ=crn&page=2010-&p=2 http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/flashes/speedlite_550ex

Hi, The flash can be turned off in some settings (ie Intelligent Auto), but not in others (ie Background Defocus).

There isn't one as far as I know. I think you have two choices - 1) use ETTL, or 2) guess the power in manual and review the histogram. I must say that I'm disappointed that they haven't published a fix for the manual / pre-flash problem, and I'm currently considering going back to PW because of this. However, if you want ETTL, they are great.

The power varies depending on the flash output for example if you have the flash at full power the modeling light will also be at full power if the flash is half power so will be the modeling light

Wish I could answer but I only use it on the camera and don't have another flash.

as far as i'm conserned, it goes only to automatic mode. it decides by itself when to use it. although, it can be switched off. i usualy don't use flash.

don't use flash if I can help it, I like available light when I can. Olympus lights are a little high.

Sure, and you can customize it for the intensity of the flash light you want.Basically, its built for the manual mode shooting

There is no adjustments - I suggest that you put up lights near the cameras then they work perfect. You must have light to aid the cameras. They don't tell you that when you purchase the equipment however my installer gave me the heads up.

No. There is a small button next to the flash. Push this button when you want to use the flash.

For what it's worth - and I apologize if I'm stating the obvious - check if your flash is on Manual set to full strength. Use your camera to check the settings and adjust the flash settings way down and way up, using the exact same exposure, and see if there's a difference

Change the metering mode from the default of 'Multi' to either 'Center' or 'Spot.' This way the flash exposure is set for the subject you point at, rather than for the whole scene. With the default metering mode of 'Multi', the camera tries to get the unimportant background to be well-lit in addition to the subject, which produces too much light on the subject. Using 'Center' or 'Spot' will cause the flash to put out just the right amount of light for what you point the camera at. This also works well for closeup shots with the flash taken in macro mode!
