[OM] OM-1 question(s)

OK, I just got my OM-1.  It's in beautiful condition, but I do have a few
questions...

1)  On the lensmount, adjacent to the self-timer lever, is a rotating
switch of some sort.  What is it?  (Mirror pre-lock?)

2)  On the front of the camera body, directly above the self-timer lever,
is another small rotary switch.  What is _it_? :)

One more...

There is a large on/off switch on the top deck, which I assumed turned the
meter on and off.  Wrong again!  There seems to be no rewind release - is
that what I'm looking at?  If it's not, how do I unclutch it for rewind?

The camera is black leather(ette?), in what looks like new condition.  It
came with a 50mm f1.8 Zuiko MC lens mounted - again in like-new condition.
There was an immensly cheap UV filter mounted, which immediately found it's
way into the trash.  But who cares?

Also is a detachable hot shoe - pretty neat, although I don't know how
reliable it is.  Doesn't matter - I won't be using a flash with this camera
anyway.

Anyone with answers?
