Olympus OM 10 - Manual (Page 46)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q : I can neither release the shutter even by press-
ing the shutter release button, nor advance
the film. Why?
A : Because no batteries are loaded. Load fresh
batteries.
Q : Why is the field of view dark and the image
obscure?
A : Because the batteries are exhausted. Replace

Q : Why can't I move the film advance lever?

Q : Why doesn't the rewind knob rotate when I

A : Set the rewind release lever once more in
the direction of the arrow, and the problem
will be solved.

ADAPTER position. Then, take the follow-
