Description:
Among the four standard Olympus flash units, the T20, T32, bracket T45 and the new F280, the T20 is the most compact and lightweight among the pack. Despite its smaller size, it possesses all the good basic features of any Olympus dedicated flash. It will works as its bigger brother, the T32 - perhaps may be minus some features and less powerful as compared.
With OM bodies such as OM2 , OM2SP, OM4, OM3Ti, OM4Ti and OM-40, the T20 will provide three modes of flash control in either TTL auto flash, Normal AUTO and manual flash control, whereas the OM1, OM3 and OM-10 the T20 only provide Auto flash and Manual flash mode.
In terms of flexibility, T20 can be attached to the camera with the TTL Auto Connector T20, or to the TTL Auto Cord socket, for bounce flash or indirect off-camera flash (can used with the OM Power Bounce Grip 2). With all those OM TTL auto flash capable bodies mentioned earlier, with the exception of few earlier ones, it will switch to the sync speed automatically and intelligently sensing if the shutter speed set in the AUTO mode is higher than the permissible sync speed, the T20 will not triggered. Further, it also provides a viewfinder flash ready light and correct flash exposure indicator which began with earlier OM1n OM2n (With Shoe 4) or later models.
