In 'Normal" mode, it should do OTF flash on an OM-2(n) set to "Auto", but if the shutter speed is over 1/60, it won't fire. Since the TTL-OTF metering on an OM-2 is separate from the viewfinder display, it could say 1/60 in the viewfinder and still not flash. This is true of the 'T' series flashes also.

In 'Manual" Mode, it should fire on an OM-2 set to "manual".

It it doesn't work like that, there is either a fault in the flash or the camera. If you haven't used the '2' with flash for a while, try cleaning the shoe contacts. If you have one, try a 'T' series flash on the camera. In Auto, it should act exactly like the F280 set to 'Normal".

How do you set the 280F flash on an OM2n?
I tried it today in all settings but can't get it to fire.
