One of the most useful features of the OM-4t is the multi-spot meter. Have you
experimented with that?
The spot meter can also just be used to scan the scene to see what range of
light you are dealing with.
It is very useful in high contrast scenes. Just pick what you want as grey,
then adjust up or down by spot sampling lighter or darker things. No need to
change the compensation dial that way. You can save the reading for multiple
shots and release it with the lever on the release button. The Hilight and
Shadow buttons shift exposure up or down 2 stops.
