Your OM-10 is always zeroed out because it (the camera) is selecting the
correct shutter speed to go with the f stop selected. Other cameras, like
a manual OM-1 will be "zeroed" when the meter needle is lined up between
the 2 pointers in the finder. In this case you have to set both f stop and
shutter speed. the camera does not think for you.
An automatic camera zeroes out by itself by either selecting the correct
shutter speed (aperture preferred) or f stop (shutter preferred).

| Thanks guys,
|
| Bear with me as I don't know a huge amount about SLRs,
| but at the class pretty much every other camera could
| call up a meter with readings ranging from negative to
| positive - most by pressing the shutter release
| halfway down. When this meter reads zero, the camera
| is "zeroed out", at the correct balance between
| aperture and shutter speed for the image. The OM10
| appears to have no such mechanism.
