On the other hand, it’s an ambiguous title in the Main Photography discussion forum. Is there a flash photography forum? He might have better luck there. Or at least specify that it’s a flash question in the title.

Yup...typical here..but, Gene, as usual, is always helpful.

NISSIN to the rescue! This is a link to the Nissin Digital website. It is an excellant resource where you can type in the canera model and Nissin flash model and research comparability. There is also a dialogue box where you can type in a specific question.

There are many "third party" and aftermarket brands of flash gear, some are of lesser quality, however, the Nissen line seems nice and well serviced as to customer information.

I'm sure you can now find out if and how to integrate these speedlights with you cameras.

In a multiple flas setup, you can trigger any speedlight with a simple photoelectric cell but you will need to set the output manually. Hopefully, that website will yield an instruction manual for you Nissin model.

I have been using and servicing electronic flas gear since 1958. I will be pleased to answer any questions or direct you to the pertinent resource.

Looks like you scored some nice lights thrown in to your purchase. Use them in good health. Stay home...stay safe!

That entire set up is junk.....package it up and send to me at......ok, I joke. I am an Oly shooter and covet the OMD EM1 mii camera. Well done. The Oly flash is a small, yet well regarded OEM flash. I think it can do off camera remote with the smaller Oly flash that comes with Oly cameras that acts as a trigger. Suggest you look at Robin Wongs web site on how he uses remote for macro. The flashpoint stuff is Adorama’s version of Godox made flashes. If I am correct, it is a very cool system, in that you can put a trigger on hotshoe, control numerous off camera flashes, etc. All for not a lot of money. That will be my next purchase. I’m not aware about the other lights.

Welcome to the Oly. I do 4/3 world. It’s a lot of fun. You have an excellent camera.

I learned a LONG Time ago, the only DUMB question, is the one never asked.

I have an EM1 and Godox flashes and transmitter. I believe Godox is the same as Flashpoint. Your Flashpoint transmitter will fire the Flashpoint flashes in all modes including ttl as long as the transmitter is for Olympus/Panasonic. It will not directly fire the Olympus flash. However, with the addition of trigger set (trans and receiver) with the transmitter mounted to the Flashpoint transmitter, you can also fire the Olympus flash in manual mode. Any one shot trigger like Paul C Buff or pocket wizzard will do.

I am not sure of the flash unit model number, but there is a small flash unit that comes with new and refurbished EM1 MK II bodies. It can be used as a trigger to fire off camera flashes in TTL (Through the Lens) mode. There also ways to set up the remote flashes in channels so that you can set each remote flash to use different light output amounts.

Check for You Tube videos on using off camera flash setups.

Also, there are also other flash trigger devices, some related to light and some are radio triggers.

Good luck....keep what you have and explore using flash in your images, BUT also remember you can use the camera without using any flash units.

FOLLOW UP.

I looked up the TRIGGER VOLTAGES for the speedlights you specified. I don't have, on file, the trigger voltage for the Nissin unit you have listed. When you check in with Nissin, make certain that the trigger voltage is safe for your camera. Most modern units in recent production have low enough trigger voltages but I noticed on my list that some of the earlier Nissin model hand alarmingly high trigger voltages which would require a Safe-Synch adapter if the were connected directly to the camera via the hot shoe. Check to see what the trigger voltage limits are for your cameras and make sure any flash conforms to those specifications.

I have no technical literature on the MCO320 unit. All I found online is a few advertisements form Amazon mentioning that they are compatible with Nikon cameras.

As Gene, as alluded to- just about any Speedlight, will synchronize with any camera- the flash will fire and synch within the specified shutter speed limitations, however, unless the Speedlight is dedicated to the specific camera's TTL exposure meter system the auto-exposure feature will not work and the exposure will need to be set manually as per the guide number or a flash meter reading.

Again- make sure the TRIGGER VOLTAGE is safe for your camera. This can be critical with unknown makes and models. If the trigger voltage exceeds the limitations of the camera, serious damage to the camera's electronic circuitry can occur. This, of course, applies only if the flash is conned directly to the camera.

If you have a multimeter or a DC voltmeter, you can read the trigger voltage by placing the meter probes across the synch contacts on the foot of the speedlight or the synch socket on modes that have an H or PC terminal.

I hope this helps!

There is no specific "Fash" section on UHH as yet. Unfortunately, many of the specialized volunteer-managed sections are underused and have very little traffic. I know because I manga and co-mage three of them. Perhaps the is not all that much interest in advanced portraiture, commercial photography, and wedding photography, however, we do address some flash issues in those sections. I would be please to manage a FLASH section if the was enough interest.

It seems that most of the questions that arise, about flash, on the main section are about speedlights with automatic exposure feature and on-camera usage. The is so much more- actual multiple lighting setups, the usage of studio flash gear, mono-lights, high powered power-pack units, bounce techniques, dozes of kids of modifiers, unseen secondary light, reflector design, ECPS/BCPS, the inverse square principle, modification and repair of older units, battery maintenance and issues. flash duration issues, and much much more.

If this is enough interest, I could approach the admin for yet another section.

The one big advantage of the sections I manage and co-manage is SNARK is strictly prohibited and immediately deleted without notice, argument, or protracted expansion of nasty or inane comments which only attracts more distraction from an OP's subject or question. Maybe that's why we don't get too many participants- perhaps folks like ongoing rude behavior, sarcasm and kinda hazing of new members(?). Look what happened in this thread. The OP mentioned that he would accept even "snarky" comments and mostly the entire thread shifted to a conversation about "SNARK"! Dictionary meaning of "snark": an attitude or expression of mocking irreverence and sarcasm.

Experiment with them. It’s the best way to learn. Now that you’re in quarantine you will have plenty of time to practice

Nissin i40 is a VERY nice flash and nor cheap at all. Treasure it. Use it. You will love it.

Does trigger voltage matter if the flash is on your hot shoe and used on manual?
