: the OM-2S can select any available aperture. I *think* with program flash it
: stops down 3 stops. So if you are using an f4 zoom it will stop down to f11.
: In auto mode, what you set for an aperture is what you get. The T20 isn't
: powerful enough to reach 10 ft at f22 with ISO 100 film. Open up to f8 and
: you should get about the same results as T20 auto mode at f8.

Aye three stops from wide open it is, unless of course the aperture is set wide
open or closed only one or two stops. So Program Mode on the OM-2Sp or OM-40 is
*not* the best selection for flash photography. At a shooting distance of 10 
feet,
btw, you must open to F5.6 using 100 ASA film with the T20. Btw2, when you set 
the
camera to manual and the flash to 'full control by OM-2', the flash really
operates manual and you'll never see any flash ok led.
