cristina11 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Hello I'm quite new here. I have recently bought an Olympus OM 10 that worked perfectly about halfway through the first film I have tested. Today when I tried to shoot bulb it stuck with opened aperture. Does anyone have a suggestion how can I unlock it? Thanks. Edited July 11, 2018 by cristina11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Several strategies might work: Remove the batteries and reinstall them. Another possibility would be to set the shutter to x-sync (1/60 second). If the batteries were not fresh a new set might work. The OM-10 is sensitive to insufficient battery voltage.

chuck_foreman1 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 What Mike said is right on... I brought one back from the dead .. by installing new batteries and at first it didn't respond to the new batteries, but fiddling with it a bit and then putting them back in a second time and just like Lazarus.. or Jon Snow it woke up suddenly. I noticed also that it is susceptible to poor batteries. Also I think it needs the voltage to travel through the circuits if it hasn't been used in the last years or so...ie the caps need to cycle through charge/discharge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
