How to Use T-Series Flashes

With a T-Series flash on the camera, the flash mode

will

automatically

set to

match

the

camera's

ex-

posure mode. To take pictures in the programmed

mode, switch the mode selector dial of the OM-PC

to PROGRAM, set the lens' aperture ring to its

minimum aperture and turn on the flash. The

camera will determine the appropriate aperture

depending on the brightness of the subject.

To take pictures in the auto mode, set the mode

selector dial to AUTO and choose your desired

aperture.

To shoot in the manual mode, switch the camera's

mode selector dial to MANUAL and set the shutter

speed dial at 1/60 sec. or slower. Select the appro-

priate aperture based on existing conditions. In

MANUAL mode, the flash will always fire at full

power output.

* When the power switch of a T-Series flash is

turned on in the programmed mode, the camera's

exposure mode will switch to the flash program

if the light intensity is below the specified level.

You will see it because the indicated shutter

speed is "8" or slower. In this case, the shutter

will trip at 1/60 sec.

* In the "OTF" auto flash mode, T-Series flashes

will fire when the shutter speed is 1/60 sec. or

slower. If you want to ensure that the flash will

fire, however, adjust the aperture so that the

shutter speed in the viewfinder becomes 1/30 sec.

or slower.
