Shutter speeds in the OM-1/1N are set by a stepped cam. Setting between
speeds is not meant to be accurate. You should use full clicks on the
shutter speed selection.

Subject: [OM] in-between shutter speeds?
| I have an OM-1n. I understand that I can choose f-stops in between
| the "click stopped" ones. That is, I can set the lens to something
| between, say, f/5.6 and f/8, if it appears that the perfect exposure
| is really around f/6.3. And when I take the photo, the lens diaphram
| will stop down to around f/6.3 for making the exposure.
|
| Can I do the same with shutter speeds?
|
| Based on the behavior of the meter needle visible in the viewfinder,
| it would seem so. But I'd appreciate confirmation that if my chosen
| f-stop is f/11, and 1/250 is just a little too slow, but 1/500 is
| just a little too fast, that I can turn the shutter speed ring to a
| setting midway between these two speeds, and have the camera
| actually use a shutter speed of around 1/350 or so.
