One can avoid this by taping over the flash-ready-contact on the camera. 
The camera will not longer fix the sync time to 1/60s, results: FP flash
still works, also below 1/60 and automaticaly calculated,
flash-ready-light will not show in the finder ;-), the normal TTL flash
will have a slightly slower sync time of 1/45s (like the OM-2, the
camera "realize", just in the moment when the shutter opens, that there
is additional flash light, but autodynamic exposure control fix that),
in case flash light was insuficent the shutter will stay open as long as
neccesary for exposure (similar to OM-2).
