The ONLY way to get exact exposure with flash is by using the manual
guide numbers. However, if you are looking for acceptable results with
any of the AUTO flash techniques, the best thing to do is to select an
aperture that is just below your sync speed. On an OM-4 this means
having the ability to select 1/3 stop below 1/60. although the meter in
the camera may not be perfectly accurate as to the indications of the
AUTO function (that is, whether or not the flash will fire as it may
have enough ambient light) I have never had a problem.
OK, so I'd simply set the F280 to Auto, and adjust the aperture on the OM-4
until the shutter speed is right below 1/60? But that checks the ambient
light right? I bet I am confused again. I mean if I can set the shutter
speed to right below 1/60 w/ the ambient light, I will probably not use the
flash anyway :-)
