I have replaced the two EPX76 Energizer batteries with two brand new
right out of the shrink wrap GP Silver Oxide S76E [1.55v] batteries and
still experience the same inconsistent readings. The + / - aperture dial
is set to zero and the ISO on the camera dial matches the ISO setting on
my hand held meter and on my OM4T.
