: If I set the power output of the Vivitar will the flash output of the F280,
: whether in super FP  mode or in normal OTF mode, take care of itself by
: reference to the output of the Vivitar and the strength of the surrounding
: ambient light?

You can't use Super FP Mode because the Vivitar won't be synchronized. OTF flash
by itself can take daylight into account, but not the sudden burst of an
auxiliary non-dedicated flash when its output might cause overexposure. The only
reliable method to do is set both flashes to manual mode and do GN calculations
or use a flash exposure meter. Too bad the F280 doesn't have Normal Auto
computer flash; that would have been an option too.
