: No, no.. I don't mean the extra contact on the hot shoe. There is a
: sensor facing to the film plane in the body of the camera. Since it is
: not an auto exposure camera, it must be the TTL sensor, right?

TTL yes, flash no. This is the sensor that's used for the normal light meter and
the spot meter. Light passes through the semi-transparent main mirror, is
reflected by a secundary mirror behind it and is measured by the cells in the
bottom of the mirror housing. Anyway, the OM-3 does _not_ have TTL flash, the
OM-3Ti does.
