John,
What the technician meant by non-existent 1/2000sec on my 4 was that the
1/2000sec position showed close to 1/1000sec and the 1/1000sec position was also
slower.
The technician said that overexposure would result even in auto mode, but he
might not be thinking about the OTF metering on the OM-4.
