Conventional OM Lenses
The OM-88 accepts not only Olympus AF Lenses but also most of the conventional OM
Lenses, including such special lenses as fisheye, super telephoto, macro, and teleconverter
lenses. If you use a conventional OM Lens on the OM-88 , it will automatically select the
aperture-priority auto exposure mode. If you choose your desired aperture on the aperture
ring of the lens, the OM-88 will automatically set a shutter speed which provides correct
exposure according to the brightness of the subject. And, if you use a Manual Adapter 2, (1)
you can take pictures in the manual exposure mode, so you can choose your desired shutter
speed. (2) The aperture which is set on the lens will always prevail and the setting on the
adapter will be ignored. (3) The camera will take pictures in the aperture-priority auto
exposure mode, even if the mode dial is set at "P" (programmed exposure).
With an OM Lens on the camera, you will not see the display in the viewfinder and the
power focus system will not operate.
When using a T-series flash or F280 and OM Lens:
If you do not use a Manual Adapter 2, the flash will fire in the "OTF" auto mode when the
shutter speed is 1/60 sec. or slower, regardless of the position of the mode dial. However,
you cannot see in the viewfinder that the flash will fire.
(The same applies when you use a Manual Adapter 2 and operate in the "A" or "P" mode.)
Taking flash pictures in the"M"mode in combination with the Manual Adapter 2:
In this case, the flash will fire in the manual mode with its full capacity. Set the shutter speed
dial at "X". Flash will not fire with a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. or faster. Calculate the
proper aperture from the flash guide number and subject distance and set it on the lens.
Using a flash unit other than T-series flashes and F280 and an OM Lens
in combination:
Use the Manual Adapter 2 and set the mode dial at "M". Set the shutter speed dial at "X".
Set the aperture on the lens according to the aperture mode on the flash.
