When I got up this morning I was struck by the -23 degree (F) air and
two odd birds on the still-unfrozen, steaming Lake Champlain. They
turned out to be black ducks, ruffling their feathers to stay warm,
doubling their apparent size. . . .a pretty striking image.
Creeping down the embankment with the OM-2S and the 300/4.5, I got
within range and booted the 2S to AUTO. I got LED's for about 1 second,
then....kaput. Re-booted. Ditto. By the time I got up to the house
for my OM-1 the birds had gone into the mist. The camera couldn't have
been outside for more than 6 or 7 minutes, has recent 357's, and has
never had battery-drain problems.
Which of the OM 2/4's draws least on the batteries? Also, does shutter
operation need more or less battery power if it is on Auto or Spot?
I wish Olympus had made a powerpack similar to the one for the EOS-1n.
