LR44, A76 (alkaline) and CR1/3N (lithium) batteries will cause meter needle
position errors of up to 3 stops in the 2/2N. Use silver oxide batteries
only for correct meter readings (357, MS76, SR44, G13, S76, KS76, etc.)

Subject: [OM] OM2n
> 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 about 1 or 1.5
seconds difference in very low light situation. I need another information -
is it ok to use LR44!
