What is that little unmarked button for that sits to the right of the OM-4T
marking(as you are facing the front)?
Shipman says it is a viewfinder illuminator button, but I cannot get it to
do anything.
What is it, or how do you get it to work? Is the light bulb burned out or
something possibly?
Paul:
Yes, that's the viewfinder illumination button. The little light that
lights up for a few seconds when you push it is more than adequate for
nighttime illumination, but it's almost impossible to see in daylight or
bright room light. Check it in a dark room first. If your batteries are
good and you still can't see it, bummer. (Don't use it all the time,
either -- really sucks the power out of those little silver cells...)
By the by, when you press the button, it also makes the light-gathering
window at the front of the camera light up. Your subjects will think
they're being attacked by Cylons! ;-)
