Cannot get shutter speed slower than 1/640 on OM-1

Weird. ISO set super high?

Can you post an image of either the back display with settings overlay, or the SCP.

Hopefully just an odd setting.

Cheers,

I'm sure there is a setting like "minimum shutter speed" that I cannot find in the menu, but on my OM-1 right out of the box with default settings, I am unable to get a slower shutter speed than 1/640 in any of the shooting modes. I can get as fast as 1/32000 but no slower than 1/640. Where do I change this so that I can achieve the full range of shutter speeds, either automatically or manually, based on my shooting mode?

See p.127 of the you-know-what. 1/640s is mentioned there as a lower shutter speed limit in SH2 (high speed sequential) and ProCap SH2 modes, if Max Fps is set to 50 under Sequential Shooting Settings.

Haha! Thanks. In my defense, I did an internet search. But, perhaps downloading the pdf of the you-know-what and searching for "1/640" would have answered my question. Curious the rationale for the limit to 1/640... presumably there is a technical reason?
