At 1/60 or slower, the 2-curtain shutter on your OM is fully open, and that's when the flash fires. Any faster speed, and your curtains would not be open - you'd just have a slit moving across - and only a part of your frame would be exposed. On a leaf shutter camera like the 35RC, the shutter opens fully at any speed. When your flash fires at 1/250, you are getting the full effect of the flash (full flash power is achieved very fast), just as you would at 1/60. Unless you are shooting in bright conditions, the shutter setting will have no effect on the exposure, as it is only the light from the flash that is exposing your film.
