Since I had not solved the problem I will put again the question.
Returned from my 4 weeks trip to Norway (with stops in south Sweden and
Germany), I am in the phase of developping the slides.
Seeing the result of a shot with flash, one question arise that I cannot
answer.
Scenario: one day I was shoting with flash (T32), and after the shot the
camera (OM-4) was dead: no lcd in viewfinder and pressing the shutter
button did not illuminate the lcd. After powering off the flash, switching
the camera to manual and then back to auto the camera was finally ok. The
batteries were weak, but I did not realize immediately that because after
the bad flash shot, leaving the flash and without changing the batteries,
the camera worked good, with perfect exposures.
Off course when I checked the batteries, a non continuos "beep" came from
the camera, so I changed the batteries and after the camera worked ok also
with flash.
What I cannot explain is: the reading without flash was around 1/15, so I
tought that for this particular shot I could have or a correct slide (in
the case that all was good) or at least a 2 stop under exposed slide. But
this slide came out full black (no exposure at all)!
What could happened? The camera was on auto and also the flash was on auto
(TTL auto). Is this a normal behaviour?
Does the camera need more power when using the flash or there is some
electronic problem with my camera?
