Are you using a single battery or (2) 357s. The single battery is lithium
and should not be used. Try rocking the meter switch back and forth to
clean the inner contacts. The meter display is only a display, it does not
drive the actual shutter speed. That is, you could take the meter itself
out of the camera and auto would still give a correct exposure.

Subject: [OM] OM-1N meter
Decided to take both OM-1N and OM-2N to New Hampshire for a family holiday
gathering. I put a new 357 battery in the 2N and have noticed that the
meter indicator both in manual and auto mode is jumping up and down before
it settles down for a reading. It happens under normal household lights and
to a lesser degree in daylight. The last time I used it was about a year
ago and I can't recall if I had the same problem. I do remember that all
the shots came out and were exposed right on the mark. I could leave the 2N
behind and opt for another body, but would rather not. Any suggestions or
help would be appreciated. Thanks, Marty
