THE OM-10: DESIGNED TO SAVE BATTERY CONSUMPTION

Gently press the shutter release button.

<When the selector dial is turned to the "ON" position... >

Energy flows from the alkaline-manganese or silver oxide batteries and a light appears by the shutter speed scale in the viewfinder. However,

this light will go off automatically after 90 sec- onds, to prevent unnecessary battery consump- tion.

<When the activator switch is touched ... > With a light touch on the activator switch, energy will begin flowing again, and the light which had gone out after 90 seconds will turn on again.

<When the selector dial is set at the "OFF" position... >

No energy will be supplied to the camera's circuits and the light will not turn on. However, if you

forget to turn the selector dial to the "ON" posi- tion and suddenly you press the shutter release button, energy will flow only during the time the

shutter is open, and properly exposed photographs can be taken. Once the picture is taken, all cir- cuits are disconnected as a safety measure to pre- vent unnecessary battery consumption.
