Noel:
Well, as a Canadian (and therefore a world-acknowledged expert on "snow" of
every conceivable description 8^> ), the OM-4 that I own has the same
compensation button, and it generally has worked very well for me. On the
other hand, I frequently spot-meter off of the true subject (if it isn't the
snow, of course), and make any guesstimates I need to after that. If you're
really concerned, pack a grey card around and meter off of that, then snap your
photo (assuming, of course, that the subject you're shooting isn't fleeting).
