FLASH PHOTO GROUP
Flash is your own private "sun" when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors for day- light fill-in. At the moment of flash, you can even catch the movement of subjects that your own eyes are unable to follow.
At present the OM System Flashphoto Group ren- ders choice of 5 different flash units, including the Electronic Flash T32 and T20. TheT32 offers high performance — a maximum ASA 100 guide
number of 32 (in meters) or 104 (in feet) with an
angle that virtually covers the picture area of a 24mm super-wide angle lens, and is provided with
abuilt-in bounce mechanism. The T20 is extreme- ly compact and features a maximum ASA 100 guide number of 20 (in meters) or 66 (in feet) with an angle that covers the picture area of a 35mm wide angle lens. The T32 (or T20), when used with the OM-2, is an OTF (off-the-film) ful- ly automatic electronic flash unit. Even the dial settings (auto/manual switching, aperture setting and ASA film speed setting) required of conven- tional "auto" flash units are unnecessary. By re- versing the back plate of the flash unit, it can be used as a normal auto/manual flash unit for use with the OM-1, permitting 3 aperture values of F4, F5.6 and F8 (with T20, two apertures of F4 and F8) at ASA 100 for normal auto flash as well as two manual settings — GN16 (on T32 only) and GN32 (GN 20 with T20).
