OM-1: overall average metering, so bright light in-frame will throw off the meter reading. Fully-manual, fullymechanical camera. Takes special, expensive batteries.
OM-2: Centerweighted averaging, which is a better metering system. Aperture priority or manual operation. Takes readily available batteries.
As for tips, I cannot agree strongly enough with the comments on making sure the film is loaded right. The foolproof way to check is if the rewind knob turns when you advance the film.
>>197705 Full manual doesn't mean no metering, it means no automation. All OM cameras have built in meters.
Y'all should Google manuals for these cameras, as the OM operating system is different from other SLRs.
