Hi Jamie, this is a copy of a posting to a similar question a few weeks
past.
To get good, consistent results the "flash filled" photos, shot on a "sunny"
day, should be taken with the camera set to manual and likewise the T32.
Using ISO 100 film. With the OM2n camera set to manual and 60th second
shutter speed. Using whatever Zuiko you like. Try to stand between 7 to
10 feet from the subject and meter the shot in the normal way (as long as
the subject does not completely fill the frame) and set the aperture to the
requested setting. It usually comes out at f8 or f11. Set the T32 to
manual and 1/2 power and take the photo. If you are closer than 5 feet just
place a piece of tissue over the flash face or cover 1/2 of it with your
fingers, likewise if you are further away than 10 feet (say 15 to 20) set
the T32 to full power and take the photo.
This is very un-scientific but it does work. Reason is that the ambient
light is so much stronger than the T32. Some of the results will be duds
but that is always the case.
Hope this helps.
Michael
