Yep. The OM-PC is a neat little camera. I had mine on a tripod with a 200
zoom hanging off the front (unsupported). After a few hours of making
tabletop product shots for upcoming ebay ads, I took the little PC off the
tripod. The meter's display wouldn't respond in Manual. (Program, yes.
Auto, yes.)
I calmly replaced the batteries. No meter display in Manual. (again,
Program, yes. Auto, yes.) I shrugged, and re-mounted it on the tripod
(with the 200 hanging off the front). The meter started working! I don't
want to get ahead of myself but I think a ground is now intermittant because
I had the 200 flexing the mirror box. Is this likely?
