Vic,
I'm not sure which green light you're talking about but the flash does
indeed work in Auto, TTL modes while bounced and swiveled.

Subject: Bounce flash AF280T
Hello,
I recently bought a used Pentax AF280T, with auto and TTL features. This
flash should be capable for being used for bounce flash, isn't it?
When I use the 'test' button, I only get the green light when aiming the
flashlight directly to the subject. Even in a room with a low, white
ceiling, I couln't get the green light when aiming the flashlight to the
ceiling (completely vertical, or at an angle slightly towards the
subject). The flash was in auto-mode. I tried both green and red mode.
What does this mean? I had the impression that this flash is quite
powerful, even to today's standards? What's the use of combining swiveling
flashhead and auto/TTL measuring features if they won't work together?
Not wanting to use direct flash, I ended up opening two stops above the
flash-indicated setting, hoping this will give me acceptable exposure...
(results to be expected still).
Slightly disappointed greetings, but with remaining hope that someone of
you will let mee see the light...
Groeten,
Vic
