I read something about this symptom on OM4Ti's in either the FAQ or one of
the threads I read in this list some while ago.
I beleive the thing to do is remove the batteries and replace them. Put the
camera into the mechanical B mode and do a Battery Check that apparently
resets the circuit board. The exact instructions are in the FAQ and I'm too
lazy at 10.30 PM to check them up. Mea culpa.
