Sorry to disapoint you, but the OM-4x needs to be moved. The
spot meter sensor is fixed in the center of the viewfinder. The
M*nolta A1's spot meter is "steerable" across the entire screen,
but the OM-4x is fixed.

Good idea if you do a lot of flash work. Otherwise, no big
deal.

No worries, mate. Just fire away. The camera turns itself back
on when the plunger goes down for the exposure. The digital
display is just for your own entertainment.
I would suggest that the OM-4x is probably a hair better for
macro work because of the ability to lock exposures in auto
mode, and the multi-spot metering does come in handy when
working up foreground/background lighting ratios.
It's pretty tough picking a "winner" between the OM-2S and the
OM-4. Each are so incredible to handle and use. None of the
new breed of cameras have the feel that the OMs do.
