Chat on the LR44

Hi,
I have just bought a old OM2n with few lenses. I was a bit confused with
the way the meter works. Or rather the way exposure takes place. In the
auto mode, in low light condition, the viewfinder information does not
match with the actual exposure. i.e, the exposure time (shutterspeed) is
much more than the shutter speed shown in the viewfinder. This I have
been able to notice only for the low light condition. I posted this
question in the 'photo.net' and have got a very helpful reply. That is,
I have been experimenting this because there was no film in the camera.
I believe there is something called OT-F which will calculate the
exposure overriding the viewfinder information. Please any of you could
throw some light on this subject. I tried the same experiment with the
film inserted and now it is giving more or less the same exposure as per
the viewfinder. But still abou! t ! 1 or 1.5 seconds difference in very
low light situation. I need another information - is it ok to use LR44
(alkaline)battery for OM2n as Iam unable to get SR44 (silver oxide)
batteries. With thanks. Ajai
