Dear All,
        Hello, I'm Gareth. I'm just new to this mailing list but I've
owned an OM-1n and OM-10 for several years now and love them both! I
just bought a T32 flash today for 39 pounds. The only problem is there
are no instructions with it so I really don't know how to use it. I have
several Olympus OM books at home but home is 280 miles away so I can't
consult them!

I'm using the T32 on my OM-1n with the No.4 hot shoe. I know I've got to
set the aperture and flash manually and use a 1/60 or 1/30 exposure, and
I know that the red LED in the viewfinder flashes when the exposure was
correct. The only problem is that it doesn't matter what exposure or
aperture I have set, the LED flashes after a photograph is taken
regardless and seems to indicate a "correct" exposure at all times. I
assume that I am doing something wrong here but I don't know what. I
have tried the "Manual" setting with the guide no. of 32 but I'm still
having no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction and give me 
some directions, I'd be most grateful. I'm using ISO 200 film by the
way. Thanks very much in advance.

Best Wishes,
Gareth.
