10. SYSTEM The OLYMPUS OM 1 incorporates a built in wide open exposure metering system which uses two highly sensitive CdS cells with one postioned on each side of the eyepiece These cells meas ure the actual amount of light entering the lens placing the greatest emphasis at the center of the picture area Measurements are taken with the lens diaphragm at maximum aperture wide open allowing you to take full advan tage of a brighter viewfinder when focusing and composing your picture The OM 1 metering system operates as above with all OM System camera lenses except a few special lenses regardless of the focal length filters etc SETTING THE EXPOSURE B Activating the Meter The OLYMPUS OM 1 metering system is directly coupled to the shutter speed ring aperture ring and ASA film speed dial To activate the meter move the meter switch lever at the top of the camera to the ON position To prolong battery life it s a good idea to return the lever to the OFF position when the cam era is not in use Preselecting the Shutter Speed Should you wish to select a shutter speed to meet a specific photographic situation for example to stop fast action eliminate camera shake etc 1 Turn the shutter speed ring until the desired speed is opposite the red reference dot on the camera lens 2 Look through the viewfinder and turn the aperture ring until the needle lines up in the center of the index For
