Even at the same idle current drain as an OM4, a set of batteries will
last much longer in an OM3, since it never has to do the high current
tasks like control the shutter. It is in taking an exposure that OM4
batteries usually telegraph their weakness. If at that point you took
them out of the OM4 and put them into an OM3, you might get many months
more use out of them, since all they have to do is run the meter.
