OM1 Specifications

[narsuitus]

Can anyone give me a website that contains the specifications for the Olympus OM-1 or OM-1n camera? If not, can anyone at least tell me what type of light meter is in the camera. Is it a spot, averaging, center-weighted, or matrix?

The OM-1(n) is a centre weighted meter. Matrix wasn't around then!

John:

The metering system is center weighted match needle.

It is ashamed that not too long ago you could download the manual.

Good Luck

The manual is on the Esif page.

Try this link. Go allll the way to the bottom of the page (past Koko the gorilla, who's taking your picture!) and there will be a link "manual".

http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/Oly_OM_1.pdf is a free download of the OM1 manual from Olympus America. There is also a manual for OM1.OM1n but there is a charge for this
