    Your English isn't so bad :)

    For external wireless flash you'll have to buy an Olympus hot shoe flash. The pop-up flash on your SP-565 can then be used to trigger the hot shoe flash. Check page 80 in your camera manual for more information on how it works :)

    That's not Wireless Flash. They said work with all camera.

    Wireless flash could be triggered by radio or optically. Optical wireless flash simply responds to your camera's built-in flash. When your 565's pop-up flash fires it will trigger the other flash. The Phoenix flash will work like that. However, Phoenix's quality isn't very good and the flash control will be very basic. I believe an Olympus flash will offer some power control from your camera and the build and electronics quality will be very good. The Phoenix flash will probably work ok. But I wouldn't count on it to be as consistent or for it to last as long as something made by Olympus.
