The OM-10 contains a CDS(?) cell in the penteprism and reads the light off
the focus screen just like the OM-1 and OM-2. Light entering the eyepiece
will throw the meter off a little. Canon's are really ornery about this,
Nikons are a little bit better, but neither are as good as the OM-2S, OM-3T
and OM-4T which do all metering in the mirror box. All penteprism based
metering systems will be affected by eyepiece light.
