You'll get the same problem as you have using LR44, but if anything, it will be worse - the batteries do not last long. Best to find SR44, or same size silver oxide batteries. The silver oxide is important!

Olympus does not reccommend any battery other than the silver oxides. The others lose just enough voltage to still test "GOOD" with a battery tester, but will cause problems with the camera.

To save battery life on the OMs that "eat" them (OM2, OM2sp, OM4)
you must turn the shutter speed ring to the "manual" 1/60 setting, (or B) when not in use.
