George,
You will not get any problem in auto mode, no covering is needed. Since OM
works in Off-The-Film mode in auto, the mirror up and covered the FC during
exposure no light will get through the finder to the sensor at bottom of
mirror box.
For our glasses wearer, may be we have to wear a hat to reduce the light
entering the eyepiece. When I use the 2n in manual mode, I always need to
use my left hand to cover the top and side light, very trouble thing. So I
prefer to use auto mode and add exp. compensation if needed.
