[OM] T32 and Accidental Dial Shifting

[Joel Wilcox]

I bought a T32 some months ago as part of a package deal with the intention of selling it, but I've decided to shoot with it a bit to see if I can really part with it. It's pretty straightforward, but I am surprised by a couple statements in the manual.  One is this:

> The OM-4, OM-2N symchronizes with electronic flash at the shutter speed of 1/60 sec. or slower. However, to eliminate any possibility of accidental dial shifting, it is recommended you use the 1/30 sec. setting (p. 23).

What in blue blazes is "accidental dial shifting"? 

I also NEVER shoot at 1/30 sec flash sync unless I'm deliberately blending ambient light.  Do any of you routinely shoot at 1/30 sec?
