With activating the memory function no exposure value is stored, the EV
is stored in the moment of the shoot, when the shutter closes again.
So you are able to memorize not only spot meterings (otherwise the
metring will be stored until you take the photo or the meter is switched
off) but autodynamic meterings too.
The memory reset button on the flange has a bug, when metering is off
and the camera in standby mode, it doesn´t recognize a lens change. On
the plain OM-4 it will also ignore the memory-clear lever, the OM-4Ti
wakes up and flushes the memory. Haven´t I sad, that I think this memory
reset button on the flange is pretty useless.
