  1. Hi Bas,

     

    When I use the camera in AUTO mode, it always choose the 1 sec shutter speed no matter

    what I do. Also, when I look into the viewfinder, the red LED is always on beside the 1 sec

    shutter speed slide bar so I think the meter is not working properly.

     

    The battery is new so I don't think it's a battery problem. (I use a 3V Lithium batteries :

    Kodak K58L)

     

    Thx

  2. My boss just gave me an old camera that he no longer uses. It's an Olympus OM10. I play

    with it a bit and I'm already in love with it. I've the following questions about this camera:

     

    1) I don't think the build-in meter is working. It doesn't matter as I have a light meter

    myself. I googled Olympus OM10 and found that this camera only works in aperture

    priority mode. This is strange because if I flip the camera to 'Manual/adaptor' mode, I can

    use the camera in as a manuel camera. All shutter speeds sound accurate. So my question

    is can this camera be used in manual mode?

     

    2) It seems that this camera won't work without battery, is this normal?

     

    3) It comes with a 50mm f1.8 lens. Is this a good lens? Which other olympus lenses are

    good?

     

    Thanks. I really like this camera.

     

    Jeff
