I knew from reading the online manual (Thanks to Hans), that red 1/60 and B
work without battery power, but I did not realize that it is actually a
switch that disconnects the battery power altogether as well.
This is what drove me nuts about the OMPC, was the ability of it to drain
the batteries quick, due to the shutter being pressed when carrying.
I am glad there is this way to turn the 4T off!
Thanks for posting this again.
It doesn't turn the OM-2S, OM-4 or OM-4T off completely. There will still
be a small battery drain. Of the three, the OM-4T has the least. As an
owner of an OM-2S and an OM-4, I've never had any complaints about their
battery consumption. It is higher than some other, older cameras, but not
nearly what it is in the current AF Program Mode Wunderbricks . . . and the
batteries are much cheaper the Lithium monsters the Wunderbricks need for
all the focus and film transport motors. I go through about two sets of
cells per year . . . under heavy usage maybe three.
