To an OM-2 Owner

The OM-2 is a unique 35mm single lens reflex, utilizing the

Olympus TTL Direct (Off-the-Film) Light Measuring System

for unprecedented accuracy of automatic exposure.

In addition, it offers full manual exposure control at the

flip of a lever switch. OM-2 has set a new standard for relia-

bility and versatility in a compact SLR, to meet the demands

of the professional and amateur alike, for standard as well

as scientific and technical photography pursuits.

OM-2 is part of the total Olympus OM System, enabling you

to capture life as it happens, from photomicrography to

astrophotography, from photojournalism to portraiture.

With its many system components, the OM-2 permits an in-

finite range of photographic capabilities ... a camera that

grows as your needs expand. To get the optimum results

from your OM-2, carefully study this Owner's Manual. It

is well worth your time, and will provide a sound basis for

years of fine OM-2 photographs.

MANUAL

The selector lever on top of your camera has four

positions as follows (with click stops at

AUTO-OFF-MANUAL):

1) AUTO — Automatic exposure control; you

preset the F stop and the camera automatical-

ly sets shutter speed for proper exposure.

2) OFF — Camera turned completely off to avoid

battery drain. Always store your camera with

the selector lever in this position.

The three-position viewfinder control center

allows you to see the operating mode of your

camera without checking the position of the

selector lever.

NOTE: If you release the shutter with the selector

lever at OFF in normal lighting condition, the

built-in automatic exposure control is activated

to take a properly-exposed picture, so as not to

miss optimum exposure opportunity, at any mo-

ment. The difference between the automatic ex-

posures in the OFF position and the AUTO posi-

tion, however, is that the OFF mode exposure

stops in 1/30 sec. maximum to save battery ex-

haustion, and the AUTO viewfinder scale does

not appear.

Should you wish to select a shutter speed to meet

a specific photographic situation (e.g., stopping

fast action, eliminating camera movement or con-

After completing the multiple exposures, put

the lens cap on the lens, advance the film, and

shoot a blank frame to avoid overlapping.

Turn the rewind release lever counter-clock-

wise by about 90°.

Fold out the rewind crank and wind it in the

direction of the arrow. While rewinding, you

will feel tension on the crank. When the ten-

sion stops and the crank turns freely, the film

has been completely rewound back into the

cartridge.

NOTE: You can make as many multiple exposure

as you like by repeating the above procedure. With

each exposure on the same frame, the possibility

of slippage is increased.

Open the camera back by pulling up on the

rewind knob and remove the film cartridge.

Rotate the self-timer lever counter-clockwise

so that the shutter can be released after an

elapse of delay time between 4 sec. to 12 sec.

according to the lever setting as shown above.

You may set the self-timer lever either before

or after advancing the film.

Turn the start lever clockwise to the vertical

position to activate the self-timer lever. The

shutter will then be released after the preset

time.

To stop the self-timer during its operation, turn

the start lever counter-clockwise. If you turn the

start lever clockwise again, the self-timer can re-

sume its action.

NOTE: After setting the lever, you can release

the shutter by pressing the shutter release button.

timer lever will begin moving immediately after

advancing the film and the shutter will be releas-

ed earlier than expected. If the film has not been

advanced fully, the timer lever will stop half-way.

To re-activate the timer, move the start lever

counter-clockwise to stop the timer lever, return

the timer lever to the starting position, and ad-

vance the film. Then, turn the start lever again.

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

After compensation

Before compen-

sation

Before compen-

sation

When the most im-

portant area of the picture is much darker than

the general picture area (blue sky, snowfield,

etc.), the meter will have a tendency to read the

brightest part of the picture leaving the main sub-

ject under-exposed. Alternatively, when taking a

picture of a bright subject against a dark back-

ground the meter tends to read the darkest part

leaving the main subject over-exposed. In these

situations, proper exposure compensation helps

you take fine pictures.

NOTE: With backlighting or sidelighting it's al-

ways a good idea to use a lens hood to eliminate

unwanted glare.

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION FOR AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT

If you wish to change the exposure setting auto-

matically selected by the camera, use the exposure

compensation dial and a compensation marker

appears in the viewfinder.

When the main subject is much darker than the

general background or when strong light strikes

the subject from behind or from the side, turn

the dial to the (+) side.

When taking a picture of a bright subject against

a dark background (spotlightng, deep shadows,

etc.), turn the compensation dial to the (—) side.

Move forward until the subject fills as much of

the viewfinder as possible, (with a zoom lens, you

may be able to do this by zooming in on the sub-

ject without chaning your positions). After

noting the shutter speed indicated by the meter

needle, return to your original position, recompose

the picture, and turn the compensation dial until

the shutter speed needle indicates the speed ob-

tained from your close-up meter reading.

Turn the camera to the subject so that the subject

fills most of the viewfinder, or move the camera

toward the subject. After reading the shutter

speed, return to the original position and rotate

the compensation dial until the meter needle

points at the read-out speed in the finder.

DEPTH OF FIELD

(e.g. from F2.8 to F16) or getting farther away

from your subject this depth of field can be in-

at the points opposite the engraved "16" on both

sides of the reference dot, you will find that the

depth of field is from 1.9m (6ft.) to 7m (23ft.).

When you wish to see which objects fall within

the acceptable zone of sharpness (depth of field),

press the preview button on your lens. The dia-

phragm of the lens will stop down to the preset

F stop enabling you to see the depth of field in

the viewfinder.

CAUTION: If you jerk the preview button while

depressing the shutter release button halfway

down the shutter might be released.

INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY

CAMERA BACK REPLACEMENT

The OLYMPUS OM System Lenses are provided

with an infrared index mark engraved in red on

the depth of field scale.

The camera back of the OM-2 is fully interchanbe-

able with the Recordata Back 2, 3 and 250 Film

Back 1. To remove the camera back, push down

on the release pin as shown. Do not remove the

back unless necessary.

The Recordata Back 2, 3 registers data such as

date, number, alphabetical code, etc. directly on

the picture.

When shooting with infrared film, focus normally

on your subject without the red filter on and read

the subject distance on the distance scales. Then,

turn the focusing ring to the right until the dis-

tance reading is opposite the infrared index mark.

Your lens will then be in focus for average in-

frared photography. Shoot with the red filter on.

In theabove picture, the red index is setat infinity.

CAUTION: Due to special light gathering require-

ments of infrared films, it is recommended that

you follow the film manufacturer's recommenda-

tions regarding exposure.

The 250 Film Back 1 is designed for winder or

motor drive shooting; it accepts a bulk loaded

magazine of 250 frames.

INTERCHANGEABLE FOCUSING SCREENS

The OM System interchangeable focusing screens

provide you with the ultimate in focusing versa-

tility. Optional screens are available to suit virtual-

ly every picture-taking situation. The focusing

screens come with a special tool. To remove the

focusing screen:

a) Detach the camera lens from the camera body.

b) Use the special tool provided to push up on

the release catch underneath the top ledge of

the mirror box (see the photo above). This

allows the screen and screen frame to drop

down.

CAUTION: Although the above procedure can be

done with fingers, it is recommended that you

CARE AND STORAGE

General

ceed 50°C (122°F). When you use the camera

in temperatures under —20°C (—4°F), it may

sometimes fail to operate properly. To avoid

this, warm the camera before use. Protect against

excess moisture by using packs of silica gel or

other desiccant in the storage area.

After use near the ocean, wipe the camera sur-

faces clean with a soft cloth; never leave salt

on the camera. (Salt may be airborne near the

ocean and collect on the camera even though it

has not been in direct contact with water.)

Avoid excessive tightening when mounting on

a tripod.

Dust and moisture are harmful agents affecting

your camera. Remove the camera from the case

and store it in a dry, well-ventilated place mak-

ing sure the shutter and self-timer are free from

tension. Do not store the camera near moth balls

or similar volatile chemical materials to avoid

the possibility of damage to metal surfaces.

When storing the camera for a long period of

time, remove the battery. Wipe battery surfaces

with a dry cotton cloth before re-inserting into

the camera.

Avoid dropping or hitting the camera.

Never store the camera where temperatures ex-

radios, TV sets, or magnets.

Have all repairs performed by an authorized

OLYMPUS Service Center. You may send it

through the store where you bought your cam-

era or directly to an Olympus Service Center.

Avoid touching the surfaces of the lens. Clean

only with anair blower, antistaticbrush, orwipe

it lightly with a camel hair brush or lens tissue.

In EXTREME cases, use a clean, soft cotton

cloth moistened with denatured alcohol. NEV-

ER rub the lens surfaces with your finger, cloth-

ing, or other abrasive material.

If dust or fingerprints collect on the mirror,

focusing screen, or prism, take the camera to an

authorized OLYMPUS Service Center. It needs

professional attention.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q: My camera is loaded with film. Why doesn't

the rewind knob rotate when I advance the

film?

A: The film leader may not be inserted in the

film take-up spool and the film is not ad-

vancing. (See page 9.)

Q: Why can't I advance the film?

A: The shutter may be cocked and ready to fire.

Try pressing the shutter release button. (See

page 10.)

A: The mirror is locked up because the batteries

are depleted or the film was advanced in the

middle of an automatic exposure. Press the

selector lever to the "CHECK•RESET"posi-

tion to unlock the mirror. (See page 8.) Two

batteries should be replaced as a pair if they

aredepleted.

Q: Why won't the rewind crank turn when I try

to rewind the film?

A: The rewind release lever may not be rotated

in the arrow direction until it aligns with the

"OM-2" marking. (See page 20.)

Q: Why can't I set the ASA film speed I need?

A: At the most, 3 stops can be advanced in a

single stroke of the dial. If you require more

stops, lift up and rotate the outer collar of

the dial until it stops; then release the collar

and reverse the collar and dial together until

the white line is aligned with the black index

on the pentaprism. Repeat this procedure

until you reach the ASA speed you need.

(See page 11.)

Or, the film may be fully exposed. Check the

exposure counter. If you feel tension on the

film advance lever, DO NOT FORCE IT. Re-

wind the film. (See page 20.) Or the self-

timer lever is not securely in its upright posi-

tion, reset and release the self-timer. (See

page 21.)

Q: Why won't the shutter release button move

when I press it?

A: The film advance lever may not have been

fully advanced. (See page 9.)

Q: I can't advance the film nor release the shut-

ter, and the viewfinder is totally dark. Why?

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Q: Can I set the shutter speed ring to any posi-

tion to take pictures on AUTO mode?

Q: What batteries should I use?

A: Use two 1.5V silver oxide batteries SR44

(Eveready EPX-76 or equivalents). Never

use 1.3V mercury batteries (though they

are the same size). (See page 7.)

Any position except "B".

Q: Why is the automatic exposure shutter speed

much longer than indicated by the meter in

the viewfinder?

Q: Why doesn't the battery chamber cap fit?

If you also own an OM-1, you may have the

caps mixed up. Although they look alike,

the OM-2 cap has "2" engraved inside.

A: If film is not loaded, the shutter speed is

much longer than that indicated. If it is

necessary to obtain a correct reading with-

out actually taking a picture, insert a waste,

undeveloped film or the paper you find be-

hind the camera back at the purchase of your

OM-2, into the film position in the camera.

Q: Can I use the exposure compensation dial

when the selector lever is set at the "MAN-

UAL" position?

Q: When should I check the batteries?

A: (1) When new batteries are inserted. (2)

After the camera hasn't been used for a long

time. (3) Before beginning a prolonged

period of use.

Q: Can film be properly exposed when the selec-

tor lever is in the "OFF" position?

A: The OM-2 is designed to always expose the

film 1/30 second or faster (ASA 100) with

the selector lever at the OFF position. If the

shutter is unintentionally released in darker

condition on "OFF" mode, the exposure

automatically stops in approx. 1/30 second

(ASA 100) to save unnecessary battery ex-

haustion.

A: Yes. If the exposure compensation dial is

set for an intentional over- or under-ex-

posure, that over- or under-exposure will be

achieved when the shutter speed/F stop

combination centers the meter needle be-

tween the over- and under-exposure index

marks in the viewfinder. (See page 24.)

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Q: How can I remove dust from inside the view-

finder?

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

A: After detaching the Focusing Screen, blow

away any dust with an air blower. Never

wipe the screen surface with cloth or paper.

camera malfunc-

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?

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: 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.

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

Light Sensor Position

In the automatic mode, the OM-2 measures the

subject brightness very differently from any other

automatic camera — faster and with much more

accuracy. With the OM-2, light entering the lens

is measured directly at the film plane by the sen-

sors at the precise moment the film is being ex-

posed. When sufficient light has reached the film,

the electronic brain senses the information and

instantly closes the shutter.

OM SYSTEM

The OM System is comprehensively arrayed to

meet an ever-expanding universe of photographic

conditions for any subjects from the stars to micro-

organisms.

A full-scale system camera is distinguishable by

some of the prerequisite characteristics as broad-

ly mentioned below:

• Interchangeability of focusing screens.

• Adaptability to high speed motor drive pho-

tography.

• A wide range of high quality system compo-

nents, including interchangeable lenses.

• Compatibility of the camera body with an

electronic flash unit allowing high technic

flash photography with extreme ease and

accuracy.

• Tough and reliable shutter, viewfinder, etc.

that withstand harsh handling without fail-

ing.

When these exacting conditions have been satis-

fied, an OM-2 is born as a true system camerathat

controls anentire SLR comprehensivesystem. The

OM-2 is backed up with over 300 components

systematically organized under eight groups — In-

terchangeable Lens, Finder, Flash, Motor Drive,

Phototechnical, Macrophoto, Photomicro and

ZUIKO INTERCHANGEABLE LENS GROUP

One of many advantages of the single lens reflex

camera is the large variety of interchangeable lens-

es available. The Zuiko Interchangeable Lens

Group (designed and manufactured by Olympus)

comprises 33 lenses. Zuiko lenses have always en-

joyed a high reputation in photographic circles —

the most modern design technology and employ-

ment of newly developed optical glass have made

possible a new series of innovative, high perform-

ance lenses. These lenses have a host of special

features including new construction that compen-

sates for close focus aberrations, increased aper-

ture ratio in the wide angle lenses, and reduction

in telephoto lens size and weight. The OM Sys-

tem adopts 49mm filters for most lenses from

21mm to 200mm. As part of the OM System

design all the lenses now offer higher perform-

ance in small configurations. Olympus has pro-

duced lenses for microscopes for decades and

the new Zuiko lenses benefit from this scientific

experience. See the "OM System Zuiko Inter-

changeable Lenses" manual for further in-

formation.

Filters are essential to the effec-

tive rendition of photographic

subjects. In controlling contrast

and eliminating unwanted haze

in black and white photography,

the use of the correct filter often

means the difference between a

good photograph and a great one.

In color, where the balancing of

the light with the film emulsion

is absolutely necessary for cor-

rect color, conversion and light

balancing filters are the only ef-

fective way of achieving the de-

sired results.

Lens hoods protect against ex-

traneous light striking the lens

and causing unwanted glare.

Hoods for standard lenses are

cover types and can be reversed

to provide easy storage even

when the camera is in the case.

FINDER GROUP

The viewfinder is one of the most important fea-

tures of a single lens reflex camera. Since every

photographic subject is turned into a visual image

by means of the finder, a finder that is dark or

difficult to look through is an obstacle to good

photography. However enriched an SLR camera

is with a wide range of interchangeable lenses, the

SLR cannot be expected to fulfill its essential func-

tion without the provision for changing of focus-

ing screens. The OM-2 is provided with a view-

finder that offers a far brighter, large image than

previous 35mm SLR cameras. The Finder Group

supplements this basic advantage with a compre-

hensive set of 14 focusing screens for a wide varie-

ty of applications from photomicrography to as-

trophotography. Unless the most suitable focusing

screen for a given photographic purpose is avail-

able, the potentialities of a system camera cannot

be utilized. For fast, accurate focusing, the OM

System Finder Group offers the unique Vari-

magni Finder with a magnification selector, the

Eyecup

that accepts a variety of Dioptric

Correction Lenses, Eyecoupler, etc.

up photography, use the matte area and in macrophotography greater

than life size, use the double cross hairs the same way as with the 1 -1 2.

The meter needle indicates proper exposures, but depending on the

conditions of the specimen, the reading must be compensated for.

1-11

Cross hairs-matte

type

(for close-up &

The transparent screen offers the photographer focusing with an un-

usually bright finder image. To focus, first correct your diopter

using a dioptric correction lens or Varimag ni Finder so that each

line of the double cross hairs can be seen clearly and separately.

Then bring the specimen into focus. The meter needle indicates

proper exposures, but depending on the specimen's conditions, the

reading must be compensated for.

FLASH PHOTO GROUP

Flash is your own private "sun" when you take

pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors for day-

light fill-in. At the moment of flash, you can even

catch the movement of subjects that your own

eyes are unable to follow.

At present the OM System Flashphoto Group ren-

ders choice of 5 different flash units, including

the Electronic Flash T32 and T20. TheT32 offers

high performance — a maximum ASA 100 guide

number of 32 (in meters) or 104 (in feet) with an

angle that virtually covers the picture area of a

24mm super-wide angle lens, and is provided with

a built-in bounce mechanism. The T20 is extreme-

ly compact and features a maximum ASA 100

guide number of 20 (in meters) or 66 (in feet)

with an angle that covers the picture area of a

35mm wide angle lens. The T32 (or T20), when

used with the OM-2, is an OTF (off-the-film) ful-

ly automatic electronic flash unit. Even the dial

settings (auto/manual switching, aperture setting

and ASA film speed setting) required of conven-

tional "auto" flash units are unnecessary. By re-

versing the back plate of the flash unit, it can be

used as a normal auto/manual flash unit for use

with the OM-1, permitting 3 aperture values of

F4, F5.6 and F8 (with T20, two apertures of F4

and F8) at ASA 100 for normal auto flash as well

as two manual settings — GN16 (on T32 only)

and GN32 (GN 20with T20).

FLASH PHOTO GROUP UNITS

TTL Centralized Control Flash by T32 (T20)/

OM-2 Combination

The T32 (T20) utilizes the OM-2's own built-in

SBC light sensors. The sensors read the build-up

of light from the T32 (T20) which passes through

the taking lens to reach the film surface, letting

the electronic brain of the camera cut off the

flash emission when the correct exposure has been

made.

On conventional auto flash units, the auto sensor

is built into the flash unit. The sensor regulates

flash emission independently of the camera. While

normal auto flash units can also give a correct ex-

posure, they are far less versatile and convenient

in use. Their drawbacks include:

The need to set film speed and lens aperture

on both the camera and the flash unit, which leads

to exposure errors caused by mistaken film speed

and/or aperturealignment. With the T32 (T20)/

OM-2 combination, once these values have been

set on the camera there is no need to reset them

on the flash unit.

Restrictions on the f-number that can be used.

With the T32 (T20)/OM-2, f-number can be

selected freely because the light is measured

through the camera lens.

Restricted close-up range and incompatibility

with extension tubes, etc. With the T32 (T20)/

can be made easily. As the exposure is calculated

unit are entirely unrestricted.

MOTOR DRIVE GROUP

The attraction of the motor drive is its ability to

capture fleeting phenomena which exceed the

capabilities of human response. Tailored perfect-

ly to match the OM camera body, each unit of

the Motor Drive Group has been reduced in size

to enhance its maneuverability and ease of opera-

tion.

The basic motor drive package (Motor Drive 1 +

M. 18V Control Grip 1,or Motor Drive 1 + M. 15V

Ni-Cd Control Pack 1) features an amazingly

compact and lightweight design, permitting hand-

held photography even with a 300mm telephoto

lens, for shooting sports and news events or other

action subjects. The Winder 2 is designed for the

ultimate compactness operating on self-contained

batteries to perform single or sequential shooting.

The 250 Film Back 1, which holds enough bulk

film to give 250 exposures, attaches to the OM

camera body without cords. The M. AC Control

Box is useful for copy work, time-lapse and other

photography by transforming household current

to DC for motor drive use via a relay cord.

The many uses of the units of the Motor Drive

Group in conjunction with other units of the

Macrophoto, Photomicro and Flash Photo Groups

permit even a greater range of photographic possi-

bilities with the motor drive than originally

imagined.

PHOTOTECHNICAL GROUP

As a leading manufacturer of optical instruments

in various fields of modern life, OLYMPUS pro-

vided the OM System with a wide variety of Photo-

technical units, many of which can be used to

successfully document your valuable achievements

in photographs. This group includes a microscope

adapter for use with an operation microscope, an

astroscope adapter to explore the mysteries of

space and stars in conjunction with a telescope,

etc., mostly capable of attaching on the OM body.

Other outstanding advantages of this group are

the Recordata Backs 3 and 2 that are interchange-

able with the OM standard camera back. Once in

place, the No. 3 Back automatically records the

date (year-month-day) or the time (day-hour-

minute) in the lower right hand section of your

picture (camera held in the horizontal position)

simultaneously with the shutter release.

Externally, data can be displayed on the liquid

crystal panel. Meanwhile, the No. 2 Back imprints

numerical and alphabetical symbols in 4-dial

coding on the picture when the exposure is made,

of great convenience in documentation, informa-

tion filing, instant picture classification, etc. Both

Backs can be used for high speed motor drive pho-

tography and flash photography.

For Olympus Pen F and FT enthusiasts, a mount

adapter is also available for connection of these

cameras to the OM System interchangeable lenses

and other unit

PHOTOMICROGRAPHY GROUP

When the photographic magnification desired ex-

ceeds 10x, it becomes more difficult for the macro-

photographic equipment alone to obtain excellent

pictures. A sophisticated array of photomicro-

graphy accessories with a microscope as the cen-

tral figure is required. The exciting vision of look-

ing at the microscopicworld througha microscope

can be recorded by the OM-2.

OLYMPUS has an outstanding reputation for

manufacturing precision microscopes used by

scientists throughout the world. Naturally, the

OM System includes a variety of microscope

adapters, rugged stands, a special shutter to pre-

vent vibration at high magnification, and an auto-

matic exposure mechanism which solves the dif-

ficult problem of microscope exposures.

The Photomicrography Group is designed to ex-

pand the photomicrographic world not only into

the scientific realm, but also into the creative

sphere, so that the photographer's achievements

under the microscope can be easily and accurately

recorded with hisOM-2.
