I've some 7dayshop Fuji Pro 400H I want to use in my C3 over Christmas when family visit and some of the shots will be indoors so I will need a flash. I've read up on X sync flashes so understand how they work and the C3 manual states it will sync at all speeds when set to X.
To use an electronic flash I'm assuming I need a shoe adapter with PC cable. I think I've got one, if not I can buy another for a few pounds.
These are the only electronic flashes I own:

The £2 Fotomatic works fine and has a handy test button which fires the flash. The Olympus T20 is showing charged but even after an online manual read I can't get it to fire - does the flash need, in manual mode setting, a camera attached to it make the flash fire?
Obviously the Olympus seems better quality but would either of these be suitable for the C3? If not are there any other suggestions or recommendations for a cheap- ish (£20 or under) flash I could buy?
