Question and answer

Number of questions: 4 EricFebruary 23, 2023

Hi, I have an Olympus OM 10 camera that probably hasn’t been used in about 20 years, and the shutter speed dial seems to be frozen in place. It will not turn at all. Any ideas on how to get it unstuck without breaking it?

You have to lift the ring about half a millimeter then turn. its a safety thing. Once lifted, you will feel that you can then rotate.

@Hans could be a the polarity of the batteries, the type or the connection. Check if the batteries are two 1.5V LR44 button type. The flat face should face you when you put them in. Put the left knob to "check", short circuit with something conductive the flat part to the aluminium body before you screw the cap in with the batteries inside, flat face exposed, a continuous beep should be produced. If that is the case it's should be fine, the cap must then thave a bad connection with the threading of the body so put some aluminium foil or something and screw it in or try something else.
