As long as the hotshoe has the power pin on it, it'll work. The bounce/swivel flash that came with my EM5 II worked fine with my LX100 and I'm pretty sure I confirmed that RC commander mode worked as well. It did require a minor bit of surgery on the flash's foot (had to cut off a ridge of plastic IIRC).

The Flash on the EM1.2 is the same as the EM5.2.

I did noticed the stupid plastic ridge on that flash. Any idea why it is there? Did you see any problems with the flash on the EM5.2 in that context after removing the ridge?

No problems but I tried to be more careful when using it on the EM5 2.  IIRC by removing the ridge, it might be possible to push the flash too far forward (ie: past the point where the locking pin can engage the hole in the hotshoe).  Weird, though, since the hotshoe and contacts should be standardized to the micro four thirds design.
