I'm having problems setting up my Metz ring flash with my Olympus E-P5.

I find that the settings for RC flash on the camera rather opaque.

Can anyone share their settings with me, please

According to this compatibility list there should be no problems. The E-P5 supports TTL master.

If you bought the MS1 a while ago, it may be a good idea to first update it's firmware, see page 85 of the manual.

How are you trying to trigger the MS1, as slave to a primary Olympus flash, or with a cable? I use it as slave to the little FL-LM3 flash that came with the EM5.2 and Pen-F, and it just works fine.
