I don't see this problem on my OM4, to wake up the camera all I need to do
is just slightly touch the edge of the release button (just confirmed this
with my OM4 again). I also don't see any problem with "time-out" on OM4 as
it is 2 minutes long. More than 2 minutes? .... the light might have been
changed and you need to re-take the reading again :-)
