Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II Flash Replacement

はじめに

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II flash replacement will depend on what component of the flash is broken. A soldering iron is required to repair the flash circuitry in every case. If wiring is broken at a point inside the main body of the camera, the camera body's circuitry must be exposed (see Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II Motherboard guide).

If the issue is in the flash LED then only the silver flash casing needs to be removed. A multimeter is recommended for identification of the area in need of replacement.
