You're absolutely right, which is why I habitually do _not_ use the memory
function except in cases where I'm working fast in shadowed areas where all
the exposures need to be similar and where the light factor does not change
dramatically from one frame to the next.
Good points, all.

On the other hand, if you use the OM-4 in Auto mode, you would get a
steplessly- selected shutter speed. Let's say you have the lens clicked
into the f/16 detent and the first exposure is 1/52th of a second for the
sake of the discussion. When you turn to the left, assuming you don't
make any changes to the camera (other than wind-on!) the bald sky now
gives you a radically different exposure. It's steplessly selected but it
has *nothing* to do with the first exposure. The taxi is not the same
tone in both frames. You would have a very hard time stitching it because
the two exposures are not consistent with each other. Slide shooters know
*EXACTLY* what I'm talking about.
