First, make sure the small contacts on the camera shoe are clean. Dirty
contacts can cause no vf led and no ttl flash.

Subject: [OM] Help! is my T32 broken.
| I need the help of the OM gurus!
|
| I just got an Ebay T32 flash in the mail, and I am trying to check it out.
|
| What I find is that when the flash is mounted (OM4, OM4T), that there
| are no viewfinder indications (flash ready, etc) that indicate that
| the camera knows that a flash is present.
|
| The camera responds (with different shutter speeds) to the light output
| of the flash, but for example if I cover the flash tube, (blocking the
| light output) the exposure is very long, but there is no "under"
indication
| in the viewfinder.
|
| The Auto Check light on the flash does not go on.
|
| I have the flash with the calculator panel reversed ("full-automatic
control
| by OM-2"), I have apparently the same behaviour on both my OM4 and my
| OM4T, and I have tried using the TTL auto cord as well as the flash shoe,
| without apparent change in result.
|
| I am using rechargeable alkaline batteries; I have also tried another set
| of batteries. Both seem to work the flash just fine, but no difference
w.r.t.
| the viewfinder indications.
|
| I have read the e-SIF manuals (thank you Hans van Veluwen!), and I think I
| am doing things right, but I may be having some finger-trouble, and I
don't
| want to bother the vendor until I am sure there is a problem.
|
| Can someone please offer a simple step-by step procedure for mounting
| setting and operating the T32, with the expected camera indications?
| I would appreciate it very much.
