What Remote Cable Release Can Be Used?
The Remote Cable Release (RM-CB2) is a convenient release cable with a pin jack terminal (2.5mm diameter) that features a bulb lock function convenient for long exposures. The connector features an L-shaped design to ensure a compact form when connected to the camera.
The RM-CB2 cable release enables you to focus and trigger your OM-D E-M1 Mark III without the vibration associated with using the shutter release button. This is especially useful for macro and microphotography, where it’s absolutely critical that the camera remains still.
Can I Use Flash in Silent (Electronic Shutter) mode?
Yes! This feature must be enabled.
Menu Settings:
MENU > Shooting Menu 2 > Anti-Shock/Silent > Silent Mode Settings > Flash Mode > Allow

What Eyecup Is Compatible?
The EP-15 is bundled with the E-M5 Mark III, E-M5 Mark II, E-M10 Mark III, and E-M10 Mark II.
The EP-16 is a large eyecup design. This accessory blocks external light making the viewfinder easier to use. By using materials with elastic properties, the eyecup fits all eyes, regardless of whether the user is wearing glasses or not. Support from both the eye area and both arms improves stability for a posture that reduces camera shake.
