Flipping the panel over sets the flash to full manual dump. There is to
OTF control by the camera though. In some situations with print film you
might get a usable negative, but exposure is not being controlled by the
camera.

Subject: Re: [OM] OM-10 Flash Question
| Not completely true. I had an OM-10 and used a T-20 on it for about 20
| years. With a T-20 or T-32, flip the calculator panel over and use the
| flash in "Normal Auto" mode. This uses the sensor built into the flash
(in
| the middle of the Olympus "O").

| Tom is correct that it's not TTL, but it works nearly as well. BTW the
| second, smaller contact is for the "flash ready" signal and a T-series (or
| compatible) flash will light up the flash ready LED in the viewfinder when
| it's fully charged.
