Hi Colin
I have had the same problem with my OM 4 Ti for some time. One moment it
works fine, the next it's dead.
It doesn't seem to be the batteries that are to blame. As I can't use this
camera for anything important now, I'd certainly also like to know if
anyone has any advice regarding this.
(I did not know that there is a problem with OM 2. I thought they were very
reliable).
Yours, Lars Bundesen
