Magnetically controlled shutters sometimes develop erratic behavior from either dirt on the electromagnet face, or a residual permanent magnetization that builds up. The first thing to try is cleaning the magnet surfaces. These are generally located under the floor of the mirror box. I've never done this on an OM10 that I can recall, so I can't tell you the easiest way to reach it.... in some Olympi the floor of the mirror box can be lifted out through the lens mount. Also, of course, on AUTO the OM10 shutter will behave erratically if there is no film in the camera due to the OTF exposure control system trying to read light off the black pressure plate... |
