Default Using Manual Lens...

Hi,

I am just wondering does the Olympus SLR has metering when you are using Manual Lens, or you need to take a shot to see the outcome and the change the setting accordingly? What happen when you are using Adapter from other brand?

How will the TTL for the flash work when you are using manual lens?

Olympus DSLRs will meter through the manual lens. You simply use the Aperture priority mode or manual mode for it to work. In AP mode, just set the aperture on the manual lens and the camera does the rest. You have to set the metering at ESP or Center Weight for best results.

TTL flash will work all the same with the settings as described above.
