Olympus WINDER 2 User manual

To an OM-2 Owner

The OM-2 is a unique 35mm single lens reflex, utilizing the

Olympus TTL Direct (Off-the-Film) Light Measuring System

for unprecedented accuracy of automatic exposure.

In addition, it offers full manual exposure control at the

flip of a lever switch. OM-2 has set a new standard for relia-

bility and versatility in a compact SLR, to meetthe demands

of the professional and amateur alike, for standard as well

as scientific and technical photography pursuits.

OM-2 is part of the total Olympus OM System, enabling you

to capture life as it happens, from photomicrography to

astrophotography, from photojournalism to portraiture.

With its many system components, the OM-2 permits an in-

finite range of photographic capabilities ... a camera that

grows as your needs expand. To get the optimum results

from your OM-2, carefully study this Owner's Manual. It

is well worth your time, and will provide a sound basis for

years of fine OM-2 photographs.
