Olympus 4TI User manual

INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing the OLYMPUS OM-4T . This new SLR camera employs

titanium — a metal lighter and 6 times stronger than aluminum — in the construction

of the main part of the body. It is the world's first 35 mm single lens reflex camera

equipped with Multi Spot Metering and our new Full Synchro Flash System.

This camera has been designed to facilitate serious photography with professional-

level techniques including daylight synchro-flash photography, all with a minimum

of effort: Its aim is to expand the sphere of creative photography. We recommend

that before using the camera, you read this instruction manual carefully, confirming

the instructions on the camera so that you can get the very best performance and

servicelifefromyournewcamera.

Note: All the components of the Olympus OM-4T are carefully designed and their production and

assembly is strictly controlled to enhance the unmatched performance of the system. If any inter-

changeable lenses, flashes, or accessories other than Olympus products are used, Olympus cannot

be responsible for poor results or damage of the OM-4T .
