The Olympus OM-2N is not famous for eating batteries, but mine is a bad battery eater. I have measured the current flow between the +ve battery terminal and the camera base plate with the power switched OFF, and the reading is an alarming 0.1A. With the switch set to either MANUAL or AUTO the reading is more than 0.25A which is the maximum value my mutimeter can measure. That explains why a new set of batteries will only last a few hours. The camera operates fine except this ailment. I suspect there is power leakage to the camera case. I have run through the repair manual for OM-2 downloaded from the web but this topic is not covered. Does anyone have experience in locating a leak such as this? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you. |
