The ME Super has a stepless shutter in 'Auto' mode, which means it can fire at speeds inbetween the standard one stop increments. The indicated speed may be 1/60 but the metered speed could be anywhere from 1/45 to 1/90. The shutter will fire at the metered speed.

Use the 1/3rd stop increments of the ISO dial to determine if the indicated value is in the center or at the edge of the possible range. Adjust until it is centered.

Use a shutter speed tester to check the actual speed of the shutter and compare it to the indicated speed.

Adjust VR2 until the measured speed matches the indicated speed.

VR2 only affects the indicated speed in the viewfinder. It should not change the actual speed of the shutter.
