hello mu-43 people! g'day!
i just saw an old flash in my room lying around. and got this brilliant idea since the ep-1 doesnt have a built in fash, i might aswell use this flash on my ep-1. its an "achiever flash" uses (2) two double As (AA). when i put my eneloops in it, it almost quite instantly goes into ready mode (thats when the orange ready lamp turns on) it works when the test button is pressed. but when i mounted it on my ep-1. it whouldnt fire. it has only one contact, so i know that its not a dedicated one. secondly, im in manual mode on my ep-1 (and tried also with other programs) and turned the flash into almost every setting possible (slow sync, second curtain, red-eye etc)
still... it wont fire?
should i do something like a mod to make this work? ive heard some of the colorsplash flash you have to invert the wiring inside the flash to make it work on a digital camera
thanks in advanced for your help, i got excited with this flash since i dont get to use a flash on my ep-1 yet
(i got 3 580exIIs and dont even try on using it on my ep-1) haha
