Set meter to asa 100. shutter speed to B, open lens to 1.8 and meter will
most likely center WITH THE SWITCH OFF, or with no battery. This is normal,
all 1/1N bods do it.

Subject: [OM] Strange meter in my OM-1n
> Hi all!

> The light meter in my OM-1n has strange behavior, it measures light even
> when the on/off switch points at off. The measured light is about 10 steps
> less than actual reading for example:
>
> ISO at 1600:
> OFF: 1/8 s f= 2.8
> ON: 1/250 f=22 (same result with my OM-4)
>
> Battery is a rather fresh Hg. This camera was serviced last year after a
dip
> in the Baltic Sea (semi-salt...). Could this be a result of the dip in the
> sea or is this behavior common to other OM-1n's?
