First thing, as always with an OM, is to try new. *fresh* 357 silver oxide
batteries. Your symptoms sound a lot like marginal batteries, although it
seems odd that the problem would happen after the camera's been idle for
awhile. You would expect the opposite affect (camera is OK for a while,
fails, then is OK again after the batteries have had some time to recover).,
But if you haven't tried fresh batteries you should do that first. Also make
sure your contacts in teh battery chamber are clean.
Hope this helps,
