One of the few design flubs of the OM cameras is the unfortunate linkage
between exposure compensation and film-speed setting. (The IS-30 and later
models have a separate control with more-useful half-stop changes.)
The exposure-compensation knob doesn't change the exposure, as such -- it
changes the film speed. You don't _see_ the change, because the speed
setting is altered _without_ moving the film-speed indicator dial.
You're getting correct exposures, so it's highly unlikely there's anything
wrong with the camera. Therefore...
You're doing something wrong -- and I'll bet you're lifting the compensation
dial when you turn it. (Lifting when turning doesn't change the film speed,
so there is no exposure change.)
DON'T DO THAT!
Just turn the knob without lifting it.
Am I correct?
