Olympus OM-2 - Motor Drive Group

MOTOR DRIVE GROUP
59
The real attraction of the motor drive is its ability to cap-
ture fleeting phenomena which exceed the capabilities of
human response . Tailored perfectly to match the OM cam-
era
body, each un it of the Motor Drive Group has been re-
duced in size to enhance its maneuverability and ease of
operation.
The basic motor drive package (Motor Drive 1 + M. 18V
Control Grip 1, or Motor Drive 1 + M . 15V Ni-Cd Control
Pack 1) features an amazingly compact and lightweight de-
sign,
permitting hand-held photography even with a 300mm
telephoto lens for shooting sports and news events or other
action subjects. The Winder 1 unit, which is capable of au-
tomatic single-frame filming, was developed for always hav-
ing
the shutter ready to capture the right opportunity . The
250 Film Back 1, which holds enough bulk film to give 250
exposures, attaches to the OM camera body without cords.
The M. AC Control Box comes in handy for copy work,
time-lapse and other photography by transforming house-
hold current to DC for motor drive use via a relay cord .
The many uses of the units of the Motor Drive Group in
conjunction with other units of the Macrophoto, Photomi-
cro and Flash Photo Groups permit even a greater range of
photographic possibilities with the motor drive than ori -
ginally imagined.
