1. Flash setup
  With a F280 on the hotshoe of OM2S and 2 T32s connected
to the TTL socket via the TTL Multiconnector – result – 
only the F280 fires,both the T32s do not (speed below 1/60)
  With a T32 on the hotshoe of OM2S and 2 T32s connected 
to the TTL socket via the TTL Multiconnector – result – 
all 3 flash fires.
Why is it so since the OM2S has 3 contact points 
on the hotshoe? Even if the F280 has 5 contact points 
only three are active. I have not tried it with an OM4Ti.

2.Mirror reset
  I had an OM2S before where should I trip the shutter 
with the battery dead or not installed, the mirror 
will lock up.
  Installing new batteries and doing a battery check 
will not reset the mirror. I have to remove the bottom plate 
and trigger the reset lever before the mirror springs back.
  However, my current OM2s is different. 
Should the mirror lock up due to dead batteries, 
all I need do is to install new batteries and the 
battery check action will reset the mirror.
Bear in mind that both models are the older 
‘green’ flash indicator series.
Are there really 3 different OM2s series model?
Could anyone venture an explanation?
My thanks in advance, Amiruddin.
