Hi,
I'm curious to know if mirror stopdown is the same as mirror pre fire as
described in Herb Kepplers Pop Photo article.
I know the OM2000 has mirror prefire off the timer, but are you saying the
OM4ti and OM3ti doesn' have mirror prefire to lock up the mirror?
My understanding is that the mirror locks up just before
the shutter releasces and drops after the shutter drops.
Thanks in advance!
J.S.

It doesn't. Bummer. (Like I could afford one anyway ...)
On the OM-4Ti not having the moral equivalent of MLU in the self-timer:
this is an affront that many Zuiks chided Keppler for, for two reasons, 1)
we routinely use the self-timer precisely for MLU/aperture stopdown, and 2)
he praised a couple other cameras for having self-timer/MLU when the only
difference between the OM-2S/4T self-timer is a few seconds to firing. It
would be nice if one could select a shorter time to fire on the OM-2S/4T
self-timer, but I don't like being told my MLU/stopdown solution is not
what in fact it is. It's not perfect but it works very well. Which is why
I'd like same on the OM-3Ti I can't afford :-(
