The OM2 used two separate metering systems, one for manual, and one for 
the auto/otf metering.  There was on OM1 built into the OM2.  The "OM1" 
CDS cells were active all the time, metering in manual and 
moving the needle to indicate about what exposure would be set in the 
auto mode.  The silicon cells of the OM2 measured the actual exposure at 
the film plane in auto.
