I've been trying to use a flash with the M240 for fill in and slow sync, etc. As it happens I have the FL 600 R flash (along with my EM-1, lenses, etc.). Anyway, for some reason I could not get the flash to fire at all, and finally somehow I got it to fire but it's so dim or maybe firing at the wrong time that the photos are totally dark...Anyway, with some trepidation I've attempted to use other old flash units I have but have not had success with them either. Perhaps I'm missing some crucial settings to the camera or who knows what. I would dearly love to get some guidance and help so I can use the flash with the M240. I am a great fan of using natural light or ambient light but to get good results in challenging light situations, I think the flash is the way to go.BTW, I just ordered a Photix Ares transmitter and receiver to use the flash off camera. However, I'm thinking that until I can get success with the flash on the shoe of the M240, I'm not likely to have success with any additional accessories.Thanks very much for any input you can provide.</blockquote>
