on the OM2S work? I can puzzle out the automatic and manual modes!

Fast,
Put your 2S in program mode. Select a stop such as f16.
The camera will try to shoot at a shutter speed which is about the
reciprocal of the rated ASA of the film, so Provia F 100 would be 1/125,
Velvia 1/60, etc.
The camera will then match the stop to the OTF reading, with f16 being
your pre-selected limit.
So your actual shot with Provia might be something like 1/125 at f8 even
though you had stopped down to F16.
It's more complicated than that, of course.
