I had a somewhat related flash question... on my OM-4T in auto with T-32
in dedicated mode I get no flash unless it finds that the exposure would
be longer than 1 second. Is this the way its supposed to work (I could
and probably will shoot with it on manual 1/60th in the future, but I'm
curious)? (1 sec is a bit long for handholding :).

Thanks for the responses. Lee's FAQ mentions this trick for the OM2N. I
certainly hope it also works for the OM4. I will try it tonight and let
the list know what I find.
