Sounds like one of the shutter curtains is slow - ie not a battery problem
at all.

Subject: [OM] Strange problem with OM-4 Ti - dark left border on some photos

I have been having a strange problem with my OM-4 Ti for some months.

In some pictures, the left side (or the bottom side for vertical
shots) is dark. This affects about 10-15 % of the picture field. The limit
between the dark and the unaffected part is gradual, blurred (as in a
graduated filter).

The occurrence of this phenomenon appears to be random. In some rolls, not a
single photo is affected, while in others, up to half of them are touched.
It seems to appear more frequently with the 180/2.8, but with other lenses
it does occur as well (e.g. the 35-105). The "unaffected" part of the
picture can be normally exposed, or sometimes slightly underexposed.

BTW, this happens even with new (357) batteries ;-)

What could be the cause of this annoying behaviour ?

Bernard
