I have a question for those of you that are not as meter-challenged as I am.
On the OM2/2n and others that have 2 metering systems, (manual and auto), is
an error displayed by the manual CDS metering system also carried through to
the Auto silicon blue sensors? In other words if I check the manual meter
against a handheld standard and see the camera is one-stop off, can I expect
the auto metering to also be one-stop off? I have checked the FAQ's but did
not see any discussion of this.
I thought this was the case but in my brief experience, (one roll of slide
film shot on auto), with a camera set to accomodate a one-stop error of the
manual meter by setting the ASA dial to a film speed one-stop slower than the
film, all the slides came out looking very much overexposed. Previous use of
the camera set this way with color negative film produced very satisfactory
results. Perhaps this was because of the wide latitude of the film and
printing corrections. Anyone know the answer?
TIA and regards, Paul Connet
