The led that is lighting is the shutter speed the camera will use based on
the f stop set and asa of film being used.
Turn the f stop on the lens until the led is next to a shutter speed that is
safe for you to hand hold the camera (assuming you're not using a tripod. )
Speeds can be set between leds, that is, 2 leds may be on at the same time.
Shutter speeds selected by the camera are infinite between approx 5 seconds
(no light) to 1/1000. Many (most.......all) OM-10s suffer from erratic
shutter speeds due to oil on the magnet. Load dummy roll of film to see if
auto function is working.
