Ralph,
What battery did you put in the OM-1? The proper mercury cells are not
available, so if it is an alkaline, then the voltage is too high (1.5 vs.
1.3) and may explain the error. You can either have someone (probably John
at Camtech when you get the CLA) adjust it and change it to use the OM-4Ti
batteries, or buy a little adapter (I use the one from the
www.criscam.com ).
Just my thoughts.
