I guess the positioning of the LCD illumination window on the OM-2S/P
is one of the drawbacks on this camera. Not only because of the
possible blocking by fingers (though less risk with winder attached?)
but also because it should have been placed a little higher so that
more light could have entered. As it is now one must use the LCD
illumination button quite often when working in low light, and the
batteries will suffer accordingly.
BTW, I know the shutter sound of my OM-2SP, but in what way is the
OM-4 sound different? Which is the most quiet? My guess is the
OM-2S/P.
