SETTING THE ASA FILM SPEED DIAL
THE METERING SYSTEM
Setting the correct ASA film speed on
the camera is one of the most impor-
tant factors in determining exposure.
In order to obtain properly exposed
pictures, the correct ASA film speed
must be set on the ASA film speed
dial. To set the dial:
1) Pull the film advance lever slightly
away from the camera body.
2) Press the film speed dial release
button and turn the film speed dial
until the ASA rating for the film being
used is opposite the black line engraved
on the outer ring of the shutter release
button.
3) Release the button making sure
that
the dial is securely in place and
does not move.
The OLYMPUS OM-1 incorporates a
built-in, wide-open exposure metering
system which uses two highly sensitive
CdS cells with one postioned on each
side of the eyepiece. These cells meas-
ure the actual amount of light entering
the lens, placing the greatest emphasis
at the center of the picture area.
Measurements are taken with the lens
diaphragm at maximum aperture (wide
open) allowing you to take full advan-
tage of a brighter viewfinder when
focusing and composing your picture.
The OM-1 metering system operates as
above with all OM System camera
lenses (except a few special lenses)
regardless of the focal length, filters,
etc.
