There is an English version link on the site but the English needs a bit of
translation too!
At a very quick glance here is what it does: The FP mode switch on the OM1
is selected (that is why the external connector is used,although for early
OM1's it may not be necessary to use the coax connector) and this **does**
give good enough timing that the flash starts at about the right time before
the shutter opens. (If it started too early the end of the flash would not
cover the closing of the curtain. And if too late the exposure at the start
would be partly dark) The added transistor circuit is just a polarity
inversion that steals power from the focus assist pin. Inverting the switch
polarity probably also changes the timing, you need to look at the exsisting
mechanical switch timing to figure out the effect.
