I'm assuming the batteries are silver oxide and not alkaline or lithium.

Subject: [OM] Metering with my OM2n - consistently inconsistent
>
> I have compared my OM2n's built-in meter readings against those shown
> with a Sekonic L508 in both reflected and incident mode. For the
> reflected readings I used a piece of matte 18 0ray card. In subdued
> lighting the OM2n shows a 1 stop over exposure and in bright sunlight a
> 3 stop over exposure. The + / - dial on the camera is set to zero, the
> camera batteries are new and unused, and the ISO rating is the same on
> the camera and the meter. I double checked the reflected readings with
> my 4T and they matched the Sekonic readings. The camera body is clean
> and dry and has not been used for about three months.

> Can anyone suggest a reason why the 2n's meter should be so consistently
> inconsistent?
