I recommend a look at the Olympus Manual for Flashphoto Group, page 11.
It gives a brief intro to using multiple flash, and in particular with
those OM cameras capable of TTL flash metering which I think are 2n,
2SP, 3T(i), 4, 4T(i) and 40. If you have 2 T flashguns and sufficient
cables, you are most of the way there. If you have ND filters for the
T32, so much the better, but if not, you could improvise. To get your
50 0.000000ill, one answer may be to arrange things so that the light from gun
#2 represents half of the light from gun #1 - either by reducing the
light output (ND filter) or by increasing the flashgun to subject
distance. Both of these are touched on in the manual referenced
sufficient to point you in the right direction.

Subject: [OM] Using flash - HELP!
I have little to no use for flash for my normal pictures but on a postal
course I'm doing I need to take a few pictures as follows:
1...... subject lit by strong side light giving strong highlights and
deep shadows 2...... add fill flash to 50% brighten the dark areas
3...... add more flash to balance light across the highlights and
shadows 4...... as 3 but achieve a dark background
I've only ever used flash in full auto so.....
I have both a T32 and T20, a BG2 and cables to connect everything. I'll
probably use a 100/2.8. Given that we are in mid winter here I'll
probably need to use one gun on the BG2 and the other off at the side to
give the intitial side light.
Does anybody have any suggestions on this? Ideally I'd like a simple
setup to achieve all 4 pics in full auto (OM4) - maybe just moving the
side gun further / nearer the subject? I don't mind buying a bit more
kit (as if I need an excuse) if this gets toward a small work area for
closeups. I have very limited floor space to use.
To prove to my tutor that I've done this correctly I'm to use slide film
- I'd normally use negative, scan and fiddle the file with software - so
any suggestions here?
thanks
Ian
