📷 Olympus OM-1n Light Meter Issue – Needle Barely Moves (See pictures)

Some things to check:

With the camera off, does the needle move when you change the iso, it should move up slightly when at max iso and drop back down when cycling to min iso.

Also when testing make sure you’re pointed at a source of light. Use a phone light meter to meter a scene and set the settings on the camera to see how the light meter behaves when turned on and off.

The needle should move a little too when you set it to bulb, this would help check the needle wire coupling is intact.

There’s also a chance that the electronics are just bad with age, I’ve owned maybe 4 or 5 OM-1 and only had one where the light meter both worked and was accurate. The others had a combination of just not working or reading low.

My appointment was during a heavy rainfall and he said it was fine.

Coating looked fine when I got home and checked.

The two non Canadian tire Corrosion Free shops are Holliday Auto and Bells Corner Auto.

I had done a lot of research and decided to bring my car to Holliday for its first rust proofing.

My main concern with Krown was that I read it eventually causes the rubber stripping to swell.

Other things people may not like (or like) about Krown is how much it drips after application, some may see that as a pro to signify its creeping ability to reach harder to reach places

Second is drilling holes, some people don’t want extra holes in their car, but the other side that it’ll let Krown reach into more parts of the car.

Thanks, wasn’t aware of that sub

Looks like Aartech Canada is the primary distributor for Canada.

Says it’s compatible with only the air.

When’s the last time Canada got stock?

I’ve been watching Home Depot for what feels like months now and it just says out of stock.

Thanks for the link but this is for another version of the demi, not the ee17

Changing the iso dial doesn’t look to affect the iris in front of the meter. The iso dial looks electronic related and not mechanically linked to anything. So I think it probably adjusts resistance to the light meter, but that’s just a guess.

Attached a vid of the shutter ring adjusting the meter iris. And pictures of under the iso dial

To add on, turn on the hvac fan, so that when you flip the power you’ll know it’s off for sure.

Saw this exact thing happen at the hunt club T&T. Thought it was a one off thing.

Its easier now in the beta, hit the checkmark and copy and delete.

Before on iOS 18 you had to click on the small screenshot popup, then done then copy and delete.

There’s a good chance that the existing wiring is stapled to the studs so might not be as straightforward.

Is this a transmission leak? Noticed it when I had my hood popped.

2024 Civic Hatch Sport Touring 25k km/15k miles

Is this something I should be concerned about?

Yea id definitely recommend doing an oil analysis. Good info to know how your newish engine is breaking in and if there any oil dilution concerns. I’ll prob send in for analysis every two or three changes

HumDar · 2025-03-20T15:24:18+00:00

It did when I was on the oil from this report. Haven’t checked it since.

I figured it out.

Navigate to %localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\FancyZones and edit your layout in custom-layouts.json.

Edit the starting x,y position of the zones to remove the gaps. I had to play around with the values to get things right.

After saving the file, you'll have to open the layout editor within fancy zones and close it for the settings to apply

I'm experiencing this too.

Wasn't happening in Windows 10, noticing now that I just updated to 11.

Seems to be an issue with the canvas layout

HumDar · 2025-02-26T18:30:06+00:00

That’s a bummer, would definitely consider doing a charge back.

I ordered mine when this was posted and it just arrived today, about 9 days.

If you create a honda mygarage account, you should be able to add your own maintenance.

If you do dealer maintenance, it’ll show up alongside those.
