You own what is arguably the best SLR ever constructed. I think it is
without a doubt the most capable out in the field. I went a long time
before I busted for one of these. Now I own three (actually, one's a 4Ti,
acquired a month or so ago from B&H--I guess we could call that a
distinction without a difference), and if I wasn't relatively poor, and if
I still worked in the game I'd probably buy more still. Come to think of
it, I'd likely buy a 3Ti instead, just to finally get my paws around one
for real.

In spot auto mode on the OM-4Ti, there is no OTF
I have been using my OM-4t for about 60 days. The spot metering is really
great if you have a significant difference in lighting from the dark part of
the scene to the brightest. It will reach into a scene and pluck out a
reading of the bright side of the scale and then average it with subsequent
spot readings. Another thing it will do is wieght the readings to your
wishes. For instance if you meter a spot in a scene by pressing the "spot"
button twice and meter a third spot meter reading of a different area the
camera will give 2/3 weight to the first two. With a little thought you can
really control the lighting that the film finally sees. The OM-4t has
creative capabilities that are gonna be fun to expore.
