I believe it will use the built-in photo-eye.

Personally, I find that I get pretty decent and reliable results when
I put the OM4T in auto, but adjust the aperture to get an indicated
shutter speed (in auto mode) of 1/30 to 1/15. No slower than 1/8 and
no faster than 1/30. With the OTF-TTL, the camera will do a remarkable
job of properly exposing the subject without turning the background
too dark and also by keeping the exposure close, the flash recycle
times are kept shorter.

Another factor, related to this, which Dr. Flash has spouted off about
numerous times is that the T32 at full-power rarely gives you
full-power. It's much better if you can keep it within the 1/16 to 1/2
power range.
