I get about 9 months of cell life in the OM-4 (same with the OM-2S also).
Film burn rate is about 75-100 36-exp. rolls per year.
Notes:
a. I keep the beeper off, rarely use the self-timer and can count the
number of times using the viewfinder illuminator over the past several
years on one hand. All three are huge power hogs.
b. Keep the shutter speed ring on one of the "red" shutter speed positions
("B" or "60") when its not in use. This turns off all of the above; they
cannot be activated accidentally.
c. Use *only* silver cells which hold voltage constant until the very end
(#357 watch cells work best). Alkalines have a very, very short life in
the OM-4 (and OM-2S) due to their voltage fall-off curves.
