Product Information
- Design and Build: The OM-10 follows the design philosophy of the OM series, which emphasizes compactness and portability. It has a small, lightweight body compared to many other SLRs of its time, making it convenient for travel and everyday use.
- Viewfinder: The camera features a bright and clear viewfinder with a split-image rangefinder and microprism collar, aiding in accurate focusing.
- Exposure Control: The OM-10 is primarily designed as an aperture-priority automatic exposure camera. This means that users can select the desired aperture, and the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed to achieve proper exposure. It does not have full manual exposure control, which sets it apart from other cameras in the OM series.
- Light Metering: The OM-10 uses a TTL (Through-The-Lens) center-weighted metering system for accurate exposure readings. This system helps in achieving well-exposed photographs even in challenging lighting conditions.
- Lens Compatibility: The OM-10 is compatible with Olympus OM-series lenses, known for their excellent optical quality and compact size. These lenses cover a wide range of focal lengths and apertures, catering to various photographic needs.
- Motor Drive: Although the OM-10 itself does not have a built-in motor drive, Olympus offered an optional motor drive unit (Motor Drive 1) that could be attached to the camera for continuous shooting.
