Hi all!
Recently I bought a buetiful silver OM2n (like new in
the old Olympus Box!!).
As most would probably know, the shoe attachments are
known to crack. As the OM2n incorporates the TTL
system, the TTL light should illuminate when looking
through the viewfinder.
Well, you guessed it, the TTL lighting system in the
viewfinder does not work when the CRACKED Shoe 4 is
attached to the OM2n body (the Shoe 4 does need to be
replaced as it isnt in good or safe operating
condition). Now because the body has hardly been used
(I cant even see it used any more than 20 rolls), I am
wondering if it is the following;
1)
The cracked Shoe 4 is directly causing the problem. As
the cracking on the sides of the Shoe cause the shoe
itself to go out of correct alignment externally and
internally (especially when a flash is attached), the
pins penetrating from the Shoe 4 into the OM2n body
arent engaging in proper contact with certain points
within the internals of the camera
2)
There are some electronic problems associated with the
camera that I dont know about that arent related to
the Shoe 4 or even the T20 Flash.
If anyone has experienced the same problem, no of
anyone that has had the same (or similar) experience
or has the technical insight to give me some
information, I would be extremely grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
