With a digital slr camera, can you use a flash that you used on a 35mm slr camera?


I have a Olympus E500 dslr but I am not sure if you use just a standard flash?

old flashes used a different trigger voltage which may affect the circuitry on a digital camera. you have to check your flash model and see what the output is.

even if it was compatible, i would go for a model that has a TTL mode dedicated to your E550. otherwise you have to have the camera and flash on manual which takes more time getting the exposure correct

Some you can, some you cant. The Voltage can sometimes harm a digital camera. This site may be helpful if you can find the flash you have.

*hey did that guy bellow just rip off my internet source? haha

Check the trigger voltage of the flash. It was usually much higher on the older 35mm film cameras so it could "fry" the electronics of your digital camera.

IMO you should buy the flash unit made for your camera.

It's best to use a flash made for digital cameras.

The flash unit uses a reading taken off whatever is recording the image.

The reading off a piece of film will be different from one off a digital sensor.

So go for a digital flash.
