I want to add, that the OM-707 knows according to its viewfinder
information, if the actual open aperture is 1:3,5 or 1:4,5, so the
compensation seems to be built in. The OM-707 also knows the chosen
distance for flashmatic flash, I don't know if the other AF systems have
this feature. And the camera knows the chosen focal length for its program
mode (shorter time with longer focal lengths) but this feature is standard
today.
