To my understanding:
"Full auto control by OM-2" setting on a T-series flash is the same as
setting the flash to manual mode. If you choose to set the flash to the
lower GN manual setting, then you get a lower GN flash (remarkably!).
When the T-series flash is set to either manual setting or "Full auto
control by OM-2" and is used on a TTL-flash capable camera which is itself
set to Auto, the T-series flash sensor will not operate, the camera will
control the flash.
When the T-series flash is set to either manual setting or "Full auto
control by OM-2" and is used on any camera which is set to manual, then you
get a fully manual flash dump (limited according to whether you chose the
lower GN setting). The T-series flash sensor will not operate, nor will the
camera control the flash.
I have not quoted your original question to avoid confusion, and I have
ignored your question about the signalling sequence.

I believe someone told me that the "full auto control by OM2" setting is
actually just full-power flash which is quenched early by the camera. Would
I then be right in thinking that also on both "manual" settings the camera
will quench the flash early if it sees fit? And that there is thus no way of
forcing full flash power on manual with T-series on hot shoe 3/4?
(BTW, I am heading somewhere on this...)
Thanks,
Simon
