If it warbles with fresh batteries , that may be a problem. My OM-4 and
Om-PC do that
only when the batteries are weak. One possible cause is a short
somewhere thats draining
current. That happened a few times with my Om-PC when kept in a humid
environment.
Try again after keeping it in a warm dry place for a while, and you
could remove the lens
if its dust free.

Subject: [OM] OM-4 problems
I just got an OM-4 in and I am afraid it might have big problems. The
exterior is virtually perfect and it includes the original box,
instructions, etc. so I am hopeful this is minor.
I put in fresh batteries (tried two sets). When I put it on
self-timer,
instead of a solid beep, I get more of a warbling tone. I haven't
compared
it to my 4T, but it feels like the shutter may be off.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Tom
