Welcome back. It's okay to lurk. Ask any kind of question here, someone
will pop in and try to help. Make sure the battery cap and bottom covers
screws of your camera are tight. If not, you could have all kinds of
electrical problems. Does it beep only when the flash is on board? If so,
could be a more serious problem.

Subject: [OM] my OM-4T is beeping
> First, by way of introduction: I just joined the mailing list a couple
> of days ago. I was on the list for quite a while in the 90s (without
> saying very much), but dropped off about six years ago. Around the
> same time my photographic activity dropped off too, mostly because I
> was changing careers and needed to focus my attention on that.

> My Olympus gear hasn't been completely idle, but it's only in the last
> six months that I've started taking more pictures again. Now I find
> that my OM-4T is behaving badly when I mount a flash (T-32).
> Intermittently, the camera will start to beep (the self-timer beeping
> sound), and occasionally break into a weird trilling, and the green
> light in the viewfinder starts to blink. If I try to take a picture
> while it is beeping, the mirror goes up for a couple of seconds, and
> the the flash fires. Does this sound familiar to anyone, and is it
