brian_whalen Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hello all - I recently acquired an om-4 (non Ti) and I shot a roll and everything was fine. Batteries died (so I thought) so I bought new ones. The battery check works fine (steady beep) - but when I make an exposure, the shutter appears to stay open and then the battery light blinks and beeps for about 5 seconds(always starts at one pitch and then finished with a higher pitch) and then closes the shutter...what did I do? I am used to using large format (so no electronics) and a mamiya TLR; also no electronics - so I apologize for something that is probably simple.

wharridge Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 <p>I think you've just turned on the selftimer ! Small lever that goes around the top of the flashing LED, if you turn it to the top that will turn off the selftimer.<br> ...Wayne</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_whalen Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I honestly can't thank you enough. 'would have never known to think of a self-timer or to look for that "switch". Which was, of course, the issue. Thanks again. - Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
