Hello!
the flashing of the test light just means that your camera is disappointed
you only took six rolls of film during holidays and it feels a bit neglected
now. Usually OM's let there batteries down as a first sign of needing some
more attention. Probably it is also a bit sad of the parture of its passed
sign... they've been together for a long time.

(ps new batteries will sheer your camera up, definitely)
