[OM] QA310 Flash Compatibility Questions

Hi all,

I've recently acquired a QA310 flash, TTL auto cord and the bounce grip and 
want to be sure I understand the various possibilities with the bodies I 
own.  I've never really used flash that much but want to venture into 
something different.  Feel free to correct my assumptions or make suggestions.

With the OM-1 I will need to acquire a Shoe 1.  To use the bounce grip I 
will need to acquire the remote sensor so as to allow me to use ordinary 
auto flash in either f 4, 5.6, 8 or manual mode.  TTL auto is not possible.

With the OM-1N and shoe 4 can I successfully use the QA310 on the shoe or, 
with remote sensor, on the bounce grip for ordinary auto flash in either f 
4, 5.6, 8 or manual mode?  As I see it, TTL auto is not possible with the 
QA310.  Anyone have experience with this setup?

With the OM-2, shoe 2, QA310, auto cord and bounce grip I think I'm set for 
all options:  TTL flash, ordinary auto flash at the three f stops or manual.

Also, I've noticed that the auto check light doesn't flicker after 
firing.  Is this very critical or can I get by OK by insuring I stay with 
the recommended settings?  Can the light be easily fixed to flicker?

Thanks,

Gary
