nization won't be achieved even if the flash fires.
Select 1/60-sec. or slower shutter speed.
Q: Why did the viewfinder displays disappear
suddenly?
A: Due to its power-saving design, the OM-3Ti turns off
the displays when no operation occurs for more than
60 seconds. To resume the display, press the shutter
release halfway, press the battery check button fully,
or operate the clear lever.
Q: The tip of the shutter speed display bar blinks
frequently during light metering.
A: This occurs mostly in the case of metering under a
fluorescent lamp. Though the fluorescent lamp
appears to the human eye as it were lighting
continuously, it is in fact blinking repeatedly at a
frequency of 50 — 60 cycles a second. Each particle
of the shutter speed bar display represents 1/3 EV.
Therefore, if the luminosity is unstanble or in the case
of a luminance mediated between the bar tip and the
adjacent particle, the bar tip will blink.
In actual exposure determinations, however,
variations of light are averaged, causing no problem.
Q: After operating the highlight (or shadow) button, I
have pressed the spot button by error.
A: If the new spot exceeds the highest value (or falls
below the lowest value) that was already input after
the highlight (or shadow) button has been operated,
exposure is changed according to that value. At this
time, the bar display shows the calculation result after
showing the highest (or lowest) value again. If the
calculated result is over the display's highest value, or
under its lowest value, the bar display won't change.
Q: When I used the highlight (shadow) button, the
picture did not come out with the desired colors.
A: Colors on negative film may sometimes be corrected
automatically in the printing process.
