I do not know, nor have seen, ANY serious 4T / Ti shutter defect that would
'trigger' automatic shutter replacement at Olympus factory service. I have
seen a couple of plane 4s where a welded cam breaks off the bottom shutter
gear but this has been in an extremely small number of bods, and I have not
seen it in the 4T / Ti.
