Gary,

my OM-4Ti works on Super FP mode, but I don't know if it's working properly
because I didn't take any picture only test it with out film on Super FP. I
only check it on simple pictures and everything looks ok.

>From the other I check the resistances on the pins using this note.

{
F8) What is the pinout of the T connector socket?
 Looking into the camera connection (pins, ie. male part of connector)

                                   *  Ground (camera chassis)
                                >     <
           Flash Sync Contact  *       *  Viewfinder ready light

                 No Connection  *     *  Flash Quench
                                   ^

 where * are the pins, and <>^ are the alignment keys.
 Thanks to Kennedy <rkm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
}


so I discover that the pin "Viewfinder ready light" is "short circuit" with
the ground and this is not normal. In my other OM4Ti the resistant for this
pin is difference.
Also I discover that this OM4Ti have been opened.
So I am going to give it for service - because I don't know how to opened
to check the cables inside.


Thank you all
Babis
