The Olympus Om10 Is A Manual Focus 35Mm Film Slr Camera And Part Of The Classic Olympus Om System. The Om10 Was The Fist In A New Series Of More Economical Two Digit Om System Cameras. Not All Photographers Need As Robust A Feature Set As The Single Digit Line Of Om-# Cameras Like The Om-2N. By Keeping Only The Core Capabilities Most Users Need The Om10 Is A More Affordable Camera That Still Takes Great Pictures With The Same Set Of Lenses. Since Most Photographers Follow A Cameras Light Meter The Om10 Is Designed Primarily To Be Used As An Aperture Priority Auto-Exposure Camera Where The User Sets The Lens Aperture And The Camera Automatically Sets The Corresponding Shutter Speed Recommended By The Built-In Light Meter. Users Looking For Manual Shutter Speed Control Can Purchase A Separate Plug-In Manual Adapter Dial. The Om10 Also Features Ttl-Otf (Through The Lens Off The Film) Real Time Metering Of Both Ambient And Flash (Requires A Compatible Flash Unit Like The T20 & T32). Selecting The Manual Adapter Mode On The Om10 Without The Manual Adapter Attached Sets The Shutter Speed To 1/60Th Of A Second (Which Is Also The Top X-Sync Speed).
The Om10 Was Originally Introduced In 1979. In 1983 Olympus Introduced A Step Up, The Olympus Om20. A Version Of The Om10 With A Date Back Was Also Made, Called The Om10 Quartz. The Om10 Was Also Sold In A ‘Fc’ Version In North America That Came Packaged With The Manual Adapter. Also Available In Black.
