It is normal behavior for the DOF preview button to fire the shutter --
under certain conditions. The OM-1 manual specifically warns that if the
shutter release is partly depressed when you press the DOF preview button,
the shutter might fire. Naturally, when I bought my OM-1 in 1974 and read
this, I immediately confirmed it.
If pressing the DOF preview button fires the shutter when the shutter
release isn't party depressed, then something is wrong.
