I had the OM-77 with power grip flash or flash power grip, whatever the heck 
it was called. It took amazingly well exposed flash shots from that little pop 
up flash. They were so natural looking you almost didn't realize they were 
flash shots. 

But, with its AF lenses the camera is basically only a bulky point-and-shoot, 
with no real way to influence the exposure other than a program shift option, 
or AE lock. Interestingly, if you use a manual-focus zuiko lens, you get 
aperture-priority, but NO information in the viewfinder.  These cameras are not 
worth very much, and virtually every one has a broken battery cover door which 
you have to hold closed with tape, the covers being long gone from Olympus 
parts stocks. It was a flimsy design-flaw, those covers.
