I would like to remind Sebastien and other OM2000 users that Olympus has put
in the instructions for bulb exposure on p. 40-41 of the 2000 manual
assuming that everybody has the same version. In the first Note it says:
Remove the batteries from the camera when using the Bulb mode for an
extended period. Otherwise, light from the LED lamp inside the viewfinder
may be exposed on the frame.
I have known about it because in the fj.rec.photo post on the 2000 which I
translated, the author made a note of this particular instruction in the
manual.
