All required of the T20 is a flick of the on/off switch . The
rest is taken care by the OM-2.
• The dial settings required of conventional "auto" flash
units - ASA film speed setting, aperture sett ing and " X"
setting - are not needed with the T20 .
• Unlike conventional auto flash units wh ich regulate flash
emission by an independent light sensor, the T20 utilizes
the OM-2's own built-in SBe light sensors, so that flash
acceptance angle always coincides with the picture angle of
the camera lens .
• The OM-2 shutter automatically closes at the instant the
flash exposure has been completed, eliminating camera
shake.

• By the incorporation of an incorrect flash prevention
system, the electronic flash w i ll not fire if the shutter speed
is faster than the synchronizing range.
• Special techniques such as diffused lighting is made
easily, obviating complicated compensations and guess-
work .
• Usable flash-to-subject distance range is greatly ex-
panded - from 25cm (F 16) to 16m (Fl .2) with a guide
number of 20 (ASA 100, meters) .
