I just received and installed fresh batteries into my first OM-4. (Not
4Ti). If I switch to Manual and walk into a darkroom, am I supposed to be
able to see a manual metering bar graph? The SIF site mentions a self
illuminator. I can see a floating bar graph, but the left and right facing
arrows DON'T light up. Similarly, the SPOT, SHADOW, and HILIGHT buttons
don't do anything in the finder.
I have booted by switching to manual, and setting the speed dial to "B",
then cycling back and forth between Auto and Manual several times.
I have checked the bottom plate screws for tightness.
Unless you folks can think of anything else to try, I'm returning it.
<sigh>
This is OM-4 dead, right? And a dead OM-4 is beyond economical repair,
right?
