YES, the LCD is just a display. It may go dead but auto and manual speeds
will still work. Experienced photographers will be able to guess there's
enough light for hand holding etc.

| Frank,
|
| Do I misunderstand? I thought the LCD was just a display of what is
| going on in the circuitry. Assuming the LCD goes south on the OM4Ti
| why wouldn't you still be able to make manual settings as with the
| OM3Ti? In addition, it seems to me that you would still be able to
| use the aperture controlled automatic exposure, spot meter and the
| other controls. You just would not be sure what the settings were.
