Hi John, Carlos, Piers, all,
Since I asked Piers where was he reading what he quoted, I went to read my
T32 instruction manual (14EMPT32-0784-7MS).
On page 23 it says, (using smaller characters):
* The OM-4, OM-2N synchronizes with electronic flash at the shutter speed
of 1/60 or slower. Howevwr to eliminate any possibiliy of accidental dial
shifting, it is recommended you use the 1/30 setting.
(With OM-2 on Manual: 1/30 or slower)
I thank Paul who called offlist my attention to this.
This arises some questions:
1) Neither the .pdf at olympus.dementia.org/Hardware/, nor my OM-2 manual,
or the /esif/om-sif/bodygroup/om2.htm point this out ¿Is there a design
change between 2 and 2N regarding flash sync? I think not. So why this
warning?
2) It says it does sync at 1/30, but it doesn't say it will not fire at
1/60.
3) On page 31, same recommendations for OM1-N but it doesn't state the OM-1
syncs at 1/30 like the OM-2.
John, could you please read my answer to Carlos?
I need some light on this...
Fernando.
