Actually, I just experienced this same problem with my OM-4 at the top of
Whistler Mountain in (where else?) Whistler, B.C., where my brother-in-law just
married his blushing bride. Damn thing locked up three times during the
ceremony -- all I did to reset it was remove the lens for a moment and then
re-attach. The conditions were both cold (about +5 degrees Celsius) and *very*
humid (the area got blanketed with cloud, which looks like "Scotch mist" from
inside...). Never saw an OM-4 do that before...
