Beepbeep - was: [OM] In Defen[s,c]e of the OM4[] [was] plain OM4 questions

[Jan Sturm (GMX)]

To turn the beeper off on OM-3s, you push the switch under the asa dial 
towards the front of the camera.
On a 3-Ti, that lever switches the flash modes of the camera (x / ttl). 
However, when you operate that lever while holding the battery check 
button pressed, you toggle the beeper function.
bests,
