Camera/Flash compatibility


I have just purchased an Olympus C-5050 digital I wish to use with my Promaster FTD 5200 external flash. For those familiar with the camera, the Olympus C-5050 has a hot shoe.

The camera instruction manual suggests that if the flash operates with a "high voltage syncro terminal" the camera may not work correctly or the camera may be damaged. I'm reluctant to try out the combination until I'm confident my camera will not be damaged.

I have no idea what a high voltage syncro terminal is or whether my flash has one.

Does anyone know if I have a bad combination camera/flash setup?

Thanks,

Ron McIntire
