Does anyone know if I can use an Olympus T32 flash gun on the hot shoe of a Fujifilm S9500? If not how can I find out?

Thanks for your reply. It's all to do with the trigger voltage being high or low. A bit of googling tells me the the T32 is around 12 volts but I dont know if thats considered to be high or low.

Found it!
There's some fairly confusing advice on there but it might just help.

Rule of thumb only, But most digital operate at 6 volts, Maybe less.

Safe option " If in doubt " don't try using it.

Or use a " Safe Sync " made by Wein, This goes between the camera & the flash, Basically soaks up any overvoltages.

That said the Wein Safe Sync is around £45 quid....For that you could buy a flash unit that will be safe to use....

Sure you could use it remotely to, But lets face it, The T32 is a fairly basic unit, No bounce, Sits close to the camera, Pin arrangement is Oly specific, I have one around here somewhere, No plans to park it on my digital cameras though....!!!

EDIT: Beaten by Mike.... But add to my comment, The T32 sits almost on top of the camera, You may have issues with the lens/body creating a shadow in the lower part of an image, Assuming it works that is..

EDIT 2: Mike is that Wein adapter the same as the safe sync, I wonder...???
