I have just recieved a cosmetically very nice T32 from someone on ebay. Unfortunately there is a problem. There is or should be a spring loaded lever on the back of the flash that pushes the rear control panel to the right when the control panel is released. The buisness end of this lever has been broken off and consequently the panel has to be removed entirely manually. That in itself is not a problem but my concern is that this lever may also trip a micro switch etc inside the body of the flash.
Does anyone know if this lever does trip a micro switch etc inside the body of the flash?

No, I don't believe so. The switch is the slide across the bottom of the panel... you will notice that if you have this set to one of the AUTO settings, when you remove the panel and put it back in blank-side-out for "TTL" operation, it pushes the slide all the way to the left - back to the full-power MANUAL setting. There is no difference between MANUAL and TTL AUTO on the T32 flash, so I just leave the panel in place and set it to MANUAL when i want to use it in TTL mode.

Ta, I also found this http://olympus.dementia.org/Hardware/PDFs/T-32.pdf
which seems to show it as a simple mechanical device, section c1 or 1c. |
