Olympus OM-2 - Manual (Page 12)

SETTING THE ASA FILM SPEED DIAL
Lift up the outer collar of the exposure com-
pensation dial and rotate until the ASA speed
for the film appears in the window.
The ASA film speed scale on the dial is mark-
ed from 12 to 1600. If you are not able to
rotate the outer collar to the desired ASA in
one turn of the dial (only 3 stops can be rotated
in one turn of the dial), release the collar and
turn the exposure compensation dial several
click stops in the opposite direction from the
ASA you are trying to set. Then, lift the outer
collar again and continue turning to the desir-
ed ASA setting. NEVER FORCE THE DIAL
WHEN SETTING ASA.
Once the setting has been made, turn the dial
until the white line is aligned with the black
index line on the pentaprism housing.
CAUTION: Make sure you align the white line
with the black index line on the pentaprism
after setting ASA.
THE MEMO
HOLDER
A memo holder pro-
vided on the cam-
era back accepts a
memo slip or the
end flap from most
35mm film packages
as a reminder of
ASA, exposure number, etc.
