I have an OM-1n. I understand that I can choose f-stops in between
the "click stopped" ones. That is, I can set the lens to something
between, say, f/5.6 and f/8, if it appears that the perfect exposure
is really around f/6.3. And when I take the photo, the lens diaphram
will stop down to around f/6.3 for making the exposure.
Can I do the same with shutter speeds?
For manual usage, the answer is no. If you set the shutter speed
ring between 1/250 and 1/500, for example, the microprocessor may
chose one or the other or none at all. For aperture priority
automatic usage, when you chose your desired aperture, the
microprocessor will chose anything within its limitations (e.g.,
1/366) to guarantee "correct" exposure.
I don't think that the OM1N has a microprocessor.
