Sorry. I should have been clearer. the F280 is a special case. For T series flashes and all non Oly flashes, the synch is as I said. The problem with fast synch speeds with the F280 is that the width of the shutter opening gets so narrow that not much of the light gets to the film as the slit flies by, and the effective GN/flash power drops. I thought Titoy didn't have a 'T' series camera and thus no F280.

The OM-4T manual (and I would presume, the manuals for the 4Ti and the 3T)
says that the F280 set to Super FP mode works at shutter speeds ABOVE 1/60
second.

As on page 62-63:

"4. Set the mode switch to SUPER FP.
5. Set the camera mode to AUTO.
6. Select an aperture that results in a shutter speed faster than 1/60 sec."

I thought the whole reason for the F280 flash with the T series cameras was
to do just that... sync at >1/60th. Is that not what this is saying?
