The Olympus OM-4 is an interchangeable lens, 35 mm film, single lens reflex (SLR) camera; manufactured by Olympus Optical Co., Ltd. (today Olympus Corporation) in Japan and sold as OM-4 from 1983 to 1987 and as OM-4Ti from 1986 to 2002.
The OM-4 was the improved successor to the Olympus OM-2N and represents the highest evolution of the Olympus OM-series SLRs (introduced in 1972). Other Olympus OM top models were the OM-1 (originally called the M-1), OM-2, OM-1N, OM-2N, OM-2Spot Program, OM-3 and OM-3Ti. They all used the same body configuration, but with improving aluminum alloy chassis, feature levels, internal electronics, and external controls and cosmetics.

Famous quotes containing the word olympus:
“Could truth perhaps be a woman who has reasons for not permitting her reasons to be seen? Could her name perhaps be—to speak Greek—Baubo?... Oh, those Greeks! They understood how to live: to do that it is necessary to stop bravely at the surface, the fold, the skin, to adore the appearance, to believe in forms, in tones, in words, in the whole Olympus of appearance! Those Greeks were superficial—out of profundity!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
