Olympus FD-1

20 - 300mm, 80.6 x 60.7 x 19.8 mm, 20 g Flash Diffuser, FD-1 is a system accessory that uses a circular distributed reflective surface to illuminate the subject evenly in close-up shooting where it is difficult for the light from the built-in flash to surround the subject. It widens the possibilities of Microscope mode, a feature of the Stylus TG-4 Tough. The momentary light of the flash enables firm control of subject shake, which can easily occur during macro shooting in dimly lit locations. A light output switching lever is provided at the top of the FD-1 to enable dimming in approximately 1.4 steps with respect to the standard level, for greater lighting control. Making the difference in exposure level between the background and subject illuminated with the flash, it is possible to darken the background and make the subject stand out better. Furthermore, shooting with low ISO sensitivity enables high-quality images with reduced noise. It is easy to achieve creative SLR-comparable macro shooting of insects, plants and other nature photography and tabletop photography.

The FD-1 can be mounted to the body with the Silicone Jacket, CSCH-122 attached to prevent damage to the body during outdoor photography.
