Q:How can I remove dust from inside the view- finder?

A:After detaching the Focusing Screen, blow away any dust with an air blower. Never wipe the screen surface with cloth or paper. (See page 28.) If this does not solve the pro- blem, send your camera to an authorized OLYMPUS Service Center.

Q:Is it normal for the microprism in the center of the viewfinder to "shimmer" and darken?

A:Yes, when a lens with a maximum aperture smaller than F5.6 is mounted on the camera. It also happens with other lenses when the

depth of field preview button is pressed.

Q:Why does the self-timer stop halfway with- out releasing the shutter?

A:The lever will stop without releasing the shut- ter if the film has not been fully advanced. Reset the self-timer and make sure the film is fully advanced. The self-timer lever moves freely because you forget to turn the start lever after you set the self-timer lever. (See page 21.)

Q:Can I operate the camera without the motor

drive socket cap in place?

A:No. Light will enter the camera body through

this hole, fogging the film. Also, dust and dirt may enter, causing a camera malfunc-

tion.

Q:Why doesn't my electronic flash unit fire when I release the shutter?

A:If the shutter speed is 1 /125 second or faster in conjunction with the electronic flash T32 or T20, the built-in incorrect flash prevention

system does not permit flashing. Confirm the shutter speed. (See page 31.)

Q:Why do I feel a small electrical shock when I touch the terminal contact of the accessory

shoe?

A:This is normal when using a side-mounting type flash. When using flash that is not con- nected to the accessory shoe, remove or cover the shoe.
