Hi Steve:
Based on lots of olden day experience with an OM-2 and a Quick Flash 310, I
believe you could get by with flashing at auto if the shutter speed stayed
below 1/40th, or so. The reason for not stating 1/60th is the discrepancy
between the exposure time indicated in the viewfinder and the actual exposure
time. They aren't necessarily one and the same. The 1/40th guideline gives
you a margin of error. At above 1/60th, the flash won't fire because it
senses that the sync limit is exceeded.
I just picked up two like new looking Olympus shoe cords (TTL Auto Cord) for
the 310 flash and OM-2. If you or anyone is interested, I'll sell these for
$20 apiece, plus postage. They are coiled and extend to around 4.5 feet. I
loved mine for bounce flash and holding it extended to reduce red eye and give
better shadowing. Sentimental value probably got me to overpay on these, so
consider them a bargain.
