No, Metz flashes don´t suport Super FP mode, they have strobo and remote
wireless TTL flash function.
I just wanted to express, that an Metz 40-2 MZ is more usefull for an
OM-1 or OM-3 owner, because of the many apertures the flash suports in
"Normal-Auto" mode, than an F280.

An Super FP flash is made of many small continusly folowing flashes, so
many, that the impression of an continus flash is created for the film
and moving shutter curtain.
