Me thinks you are doomed to disappointment. The OM2n instructions for
using FP bulbs are exceedingly terse. There is no specific instruction
to switch to manual mode (as there is for non-TTL electronic flash) but
step #3 says: "Select the proper shutter speed from the table below..."
(with no indication why you should select any particular one of the
approved speeds). Then step #4 says: "Determine the correct f stop for
flash exposure by using the calculator dial, exposure chart or guide
number forumla....".
It seems that you are clearly intended to be in manual mode.
But it will certainly be interesting to see what happens. :-)
