Hi Frank
I have an XA-series (all models) brochure at home (hopefully English). I
will check it tonight, and scan it and send it if you like. Otherwise just
the focus details.
A1L (lithium) battery is not (normally) user replaceable, by the way. A11
flashes are usually cheap though.

I picked up an XA3 at a yard sale for $ 5.00. Not exactly a Fang but
not bad, it had a fresh roll of film loaded with just one exposure on it
too. I put new batteries in it and cleaned the contacts between the
camera and flash and the camera came back to life. I have never used one
of these so I have a few questions about its use.
I called Olympus today to get a free manual but it seems they no
longer are giving them away. I got a recording instructing me to have my
credit card ready to pay 10.00 for each photocopy of a manual. A few
months ago they sent me an original manual for free and even paid for
priority mail, I received it in 3 days and was quite impressed with the
service. I guess that was to good to last :-(
Anyway, now for the questions....
1) There seems to be 3 zones to focus the lens, does anybody know the
distances of these zones?
2) The camera has DX coding but also has ISO settings, what am I supposed
to do, put tape on the film if I want to overide the DX?
3) I don't see any way to change the battery in the A1L flash, what is
powering this flash?
