Right. I see. Hence the f-stop/distance information is a maximum rather than a
"not less than x and not greater than y".
It must be fairly crude, though. Is the OTF "Auto control by OM-2" more
accurate?
Also (and sorry for the questions) what is it that creates the signal for the
rapid flash to indicate correct exposure? Do to the fact that (IIRC) it happens
on the OM-1N as well as the OM-2N, I assume it's the flash unit rather than the
camera, even in "Full auto control by OM-2" mode.
Thanks,
Simon
