Your not THAT rusty, are you?

1. On/Off switch, is the shutter-speed ring turned to red 1/60.  Otherwise,
the OM-4Ti has a mind-reading circuit which can automatically tell when you
want to take a picture.

2. Cat's are the target of most high-end digital cameras, anyway. Instead of
the laser pointer, cat-nip also works.

3. Depends on how wasteful you are when loading film.  My first usable shot
is before the "1" giving me 37 frames per roll.

4. Highlight is where Olympus has decided that the average film is still
able to hold detail in the highlights.  Photoshop's highlight selector is
for 100% luminance value.

5. Shadow is where Olympus has decided that the average film is still able
to hold detail in the shadows. Photoshop's shadow selector is for 0%
luminance value.

6. For shooting snowscapes, spot-meter the snow, press the highlight button.
 That's it.

The 5D and D3X have to use their matrix metering systems to determine that
something might be snow and Nikon uses color of the brightness to determine
whether it's a lightbulb, sun, sunset, snow or somebody's bald head.
