Olympus zm2000qdk, OM-2 manual Setting the Selector Lever Viewfinder

SETTING THE SELECTOR LEVER VIEWFINDER

The selector lever on top of your camera has four

positions as follows (with click stops at

AUTO-OFF-MANUAL):

1)AUTO — Automatic exposure control; you preset the F stop and the camera automatical- ly sets shutter speed for proper exposure.

2)OFF — Camera turned completely off to avoid battery drain. Always store your camera with the selector lever in this position.

3)MANUAL — Zero-method exposure operation; set shutter speed and F stop for proper ex- posure (see page 17).

4)CHECK•RESET — Battery test position simul- taneously with release of mirror lock-up.

AUTO OFF MANUAL

The three-position viewfinder control center

allows you to see the operating mode of your

camera without checking the position of the

selector lever.

NOTE: If you release the shutter with the selector lever at OFF in normal lighting condition, the built-in automatic exposure control is activated to take a properly-exposed picture, so as not to miss optimum exposure opportunity, at any mo-

ment. The difference between the automatic ex-

posures in the OFF position and the AUTO posi-

tion, however, is that the OFF mode exposure

stops in 1/30 sec. maximum to save battery ex- haustion, and the AUTO viewfinder scale does not appear.
