F280: only full manual

The Olympus F280's trigger voltage is a safe 3 Volts, but despite that it would not be my first choice for use with a modern digital camera.

It is designed to be fully controlled by an OM film camera. It has no provisions for manually controlling the power. If it is triggered by anything other than a classic OM camera, it can only do full power. It doesn't have the old-style thyristor auto mode.
