Dave, the way to get the OM4t to mirror pre-fire is to use the self timer. As
you face the front of the camera, pull the little lever above the red battery
test indicator light and push it to the left. That activates the self timer.
When you take a shot, the mirror will flip up and remain there until the
picture has been taken! Remember to push it back into place when you are done
- it will remain there, otherwise!!

Subject: [OM] Re: OM-4t
Well the OM-4t is here. George made me an excellent deal. I have much to
learn about it's capabilities.
As regards the recent thread about books on things OM; can anyone suggest a
more elaborate manual than the rather cursory one provided for this camera?
Surely someone has written about spot metering, multi-spot metering, etc.
Also, I was reading Gary's lens tests. In them he mentions tests with an
OM-4t and "mirror/aperture pre-fire". So I haven't figured the OM-4t out
yet. How do you do that?
I know, probably basic stuff, but a telephoto shot with as little vibration
as possible is a good thing, right?
