I've found that after learning on the manual OM1, even if I use an auto or
program mode (like the OM40) I am much more aware of the effect of the
lighting in the frame than others I know who've never used manual, and I use
exposure compensation a lot. The manual experience gives me a good idea of
how much the auto exposure might need to be adjusted. That way I still have
more input than most auto-shooters, but can let the camera due the
fine-tuning.
My 2 cents...
Cheers
Andy
