Tomoko,
I have both the OM4 and OM2s. The OM4 has never done this. The OM2s use
to do it all of the time. I started using a different brand of silver
batteries....Kodak instead of Duracell and the problem appears to have
stopped. Also using the camera for long periods of time will solve the
problem. I was told by a Oly tech in California a few years ago that
this problem existed on some of the OM2s cameras and that one needs to
"warm up the circuits" before shooting. Back then they offered to
replace a board for about $70.00, but I did not send the camera in.
Lately its been fine.
