If shutter is locked up (mirror up, curtain pattern showing) push lever to
"reset" position. In some cases shutter will fire, mirror will come down.
Turning shutter speed ring to "B" will do the same thing. If mirror doesn't
come down, something else is wrong. If mirror is already down, shutter
cocked, but it still won't fire, something else is wrong. It is assumed
that good silver oxide 1.5V batteries are already installed and you get a
steady red LED in the battery check position.

Subject: [OM] RE: OM-2n Mirror lock
| I recently bought an OM-2n for near nothing. It is cosmetically nice, but
| the shutter won't operate. The mirror is down and one can focus through
the
| viewfinder. The meter is reacting to light. I have installed new
batteries.
| Still no shutter release. I note that there is a position on the
"Manual",
| On, Auto" switch that says "Reset-Check". Obviously this is there to
reset
| the camera if the batteries are removed or are drained. Lacking an
| instruction manual for this body I have no way to know the correct
procedure.
| So, someone advise me, please.
|
| I am pretty sure the body is in need of repair, but it would be cool if it
is
| simply a matter of resetting it as I paid only $25.00 for it.
