Thanks for this info. So, in other words, it's no better off than the 
310 flash if used in normal auto mode on a non-TTL camera. (ie: you 
can't bounce it without a remote sensor). So, is there a remote 
sensor for the T-series flashes also, like the older 310 flash, which 
sits on the camera shoe to read the reflected light?

I always wondered why Olympus didn't just incorporate this sensor 
into the bounce grip 1/2. Sure, it would be 6-8 inches off-axis from 
the lens, but still better than direct flash.
