"TTL "OTF" flash exposure with T series flashes and the F280 was added on
the OM-3Ti. This works similar as the TTL flash on the OM-4Ti in Auto Mode,
with one important exception: since the OM-3Ti is mechanical, all shutter
speeds from 1 sec. to 1/60 sec. can be selected, and you can always be sure
the flash fires and is synchronized; the OM-4(Ti) automatically switches to
1/60 sec and does not fire the flash when available light allows shorter
shutter speeds. This means that with the OM-3Ti you have more control of the
flash/ambient light ratio: by selecting longer shutter speeds the influence
of ambient light is increased, by turning the exposure compensation dial the
influence of flash can be increased or diminished."
Nothing to do with the f280 alone it applies to normal t series ttl auto
flashes also.
