If Paul Schings was right in 1998
(http://lists.tako.de/html/Olympus-OM/1998-09/msg01624.html) then I
think I am right that the 3Ti manual is wrong, and that there is no
confirmation of correct Super FP exposure with the 3Ti (i.e. neither the
flash nor the camera can measure it so neither actually knows).
