Hello Richard,

Another list-lurker is driven to expose himself:

I've noticed exactly the symptoms you've described with my new (old)
OM-4Ti. In auto mode, sometimes the markers for the spot meter readings will
not stay fixed but flick between two neighboring positions. If multiple
markers are displayed, they move in parallel (a tad distracting). 

This strange behaviour seems to be influenced somewhat by the exposure 
compensation wheel. If the markers flicker, then changing the exposure
compensation will freeze the movement. Bad contacts maybe? On the other
hand, I've changed the batteries and the flickering has disappeared 
since. Coincidence?

Tom
