Hi.
Understand that for Oly c-7xx series, the camera will fire two flash, (one pre-flash and one for the actual picture taking). May be should check on this.

yeah about the pre flash i cant see the link ... anyway i read the manuel of my mezt-32 ... it says i have to buy an accessory called the meca 11 to fit to the slave flash so as to prevent delay ...
anyway is it possible to use cables to connect to slave flash to the camera instead?... eg one flash on the hot shoe the other connected by hot shoe ...

You need to use two external flash?

I have a Metz 44 MZ2 with adapter (I think its SA 3202 or something like that)
It can be switched to slave mode which then can be used as a slave flash together with the built-in flash. Works well with my C-750.
