For the original OM-2, resetting is done by turning the shutter speed dial
to the B position (don't forget to push the lock button in as you go from
"1" to "B".
The 2N will reset in the same way but offers the added convenience of doing
it by pushing the meter switch up to the battery check / reset position.
