The Olympus OM-10 (1979) is the consumer-tier OM-system body. **Aperture-priority autoexposure only** in standard form — for manual mode, you need the **Manual Adapter 2** (a small plug-in module that sits in the body's accessory port). This is bizarre but true: Olympus literally split manual control off as an optional accessory. Polycarbonate body — much lighter than the OM-1 / OM-2 (430 g). TTL CdS meter, full OM lens compatibility.
