Olympus OM-2 - Manual (Page 47)

Q: How can I remove dust from inside the view-
finder?
A: After detaching the Focusing Screen, blow
away any dust with an air blower. Never
wipe the screen surface with cloth or paper.
(See page 28.) If this does not solve the pro-
blem, send your camera to an authorized
OLYMPUS Service Center.
Q: Is it normal for the microprism in the center
of the viewfinder to "shimmer" and darken?
A: Yes, when a lens with a maximum aperture
smaller than F5.6 is mounted on the camera.
It also happens with other lenses when the
depth of field preview button is pressed.
Q: Why does the self-timer stop halfway with-
out releasing the shutter?
A: The lever will stop without releasing the shut-
ter if the film has not been fully advanced.
Reset the self-timer and make sure the film
is fully advanced. The self-timer lever moves
freely because you forget to turn the start
lever after you set the self-timer lever. (See
page 21.)
Q: Can I operate the camera without the motor
drive socket cap in place?
A: No. Light will enter the camera body through
this hole, fogging the film. Also, dust and
dirt may enter, causing a camera malfunc-
tion.
Q: Why doesn't my electronic flash unit fire
when I release the shutter?
A: If the shutter speed is 1 /125 second or faster
in conjunction with the electronic flash T32
or T20, the built-in incorrect flash prevention
system does not permit flashing. Confirm
the shutter speed. (See page 31.)
Q: Why do I feel a small electrical shock when
I touch the terminal contact of the accessory
shoe?
A: This is normal when using a side-mounting
type flash. When using flash that is not con-
nected to the accessory shoe, remove or
cover the shoe.
