... if I use flash, the subject will be properly
exposed, but will the background come out or will I have a nicely lit
person on a dark background...
It depends on the ambient lighting. With K64 indoors, you're probably
right. But you can easily guesstimate the effect by the indicated
shutter speed -- if it's just below 1/60, you'll get more of a "fill
flash" effect. If it's way down there, the exposure will be almost
completely from the flash, and if it's a big room, TTL will try to
turn the entire subject + Dark Void into 18 0ray, yielding the
dreaded "vampire effect."
I haven't tried this -- does the T flash TTL auto mode work properly
with OM-4(t) (or 2SP) spot metering? That might be a way to banish
the vampires. (This is just a tease for Siddiq, since I know he
doesn't have an Olympus with spot metering... :-)
