Re: [OM] A Love Story - 35 Year Anniversary with the OM-2S

[Mike Bloor]

Olympus brought out a revised circuit board for the OM4 that fixed 
the battery drain problem long before the OM4T was introduced. 
Batteries in my OM4 - one of the first made - only lasted for two 
films until the board was replaced. Since then batteries have the 
same kind of life that they have in an OM2n.
If the battery check light on an OM4 turns off after 30 seconds, then 
the camera has the revised circuit board.
