Olympus OM-2, zm2000qdk manual Shutter Speed-Preferred System

faster. Super telephoto lenses of 300mm and up — 1/500 second or faster.

If the viewfinder needle enters the red zone

Warning against over-exposure. A shutter speed

faster than 1 /1000 second is required for pro- per exposure, but the shutter will be released at 1/1000 second. Since this is beyond the range of your OM-2 and an overexposed photo- graph would result, turn the lens aperture ring to a higher F stop until the meter needle moves out of the red zone.

If the viewfinder needle enters the blue "AUTO" zone Indication for long time ex- posure. A shutter speed longer than 1 second is required for proper exposure.

Your OM-2 provides for automatic exposures from 1 second to 120 seconds (with ASA 100 at normal temperature and humidity). If you wish to close the shutter during a long time exposure under AUTO operation, turn the selector lever to the OFF position, and the shutter closes.

CAUTION: Do not advance the film while the mirror is up during an automatic exposure,

or the mirror will lock up.

The Shutter Speed-Preferred System

Should you wish to select a shutter speed to meet a specific photographic situation (e.g., stopping fast action, eliminating camera movement or con- trolling depth-of-field), you may use a shutter speed-preferred method of automatic exposure control. To use this system:

Set the selector lever to the "AUTO" position. Look through the viewfinder and turn the aperture ring until the viewfinder needlepoints at the desired shutter speed.
