<<Is it possible to do fill flash in the auto mode with the T-20 on an
OM2n? Can it be done with the compensation dial? Or am I dreaming?
Thanks, John Gaasland.>>


Try this. It is imperfect, but sometimes it is just what I need.

Set camera on auto or manual   -  Shutter speed at 1/60 or slower  -  set
the aperture to properly expose the film  -  Set the flash to auto / non
TL  -  Use the auto setting on the flash that is 2 stops wider than the
actual aperture used.

This should expose the film properly and add 2 stops less in fill.
You will have to play with it and it will not always work well.

Any debate on this out there?  Fire away, maybe I will learn something.
