I'm shocked at how quiet it is.5mm film camera released in 1968 by Japanese camera manufacturer Olympus. The developers designed this camera with the concept of "a camera that allows you to take pictures with the press of a single buttonโ. It was named "Trip" as a 35mm film camera that could be easily taken on short trips, and was highly popular for 20 years with its high image quality, ease of use, and low failure rate until production was discontinued in 1984. Unlike the PEN series of half-frame cameras developed at the same time, this 35mm film camera is capable of shooting at full 35mm size.
There are many appealing features of this 35mm film camera, but one is its compactness. In addition to fitting in one hand, it weighs only 410 grams, making it extremely light.

However, it is not a DSLR camera and the lens is not removable. Also, the viewfinder is not attached to the lens, but to the body of the camera (rangefinder). For focusing, it is necessary to adjust the approximate distance to the subject by eye measurement. But you can focus on the subject in a rough, intuitive way, and you'll get the picture just fine.

When the aperture is set to A(auto), the aperture is automatically set to 1/30 or 1/250 second; when the aperture is set to F, the aperture is fixed at 1/30 second.ย
<Focusing>
Focusing is done by the zone focus system. When you take a picture, visually measure the distance to your subject and select an icon close to that distance to make adjustments. There are four levels of zone focus: 1m, 1.5m, 3m and infinity. Just turn the dial to select the focus mode and the camera will focus on the subject by itself.
<Exposure>
Exposure is automatic. The decorative shiny areas around the lens are solar cells (selenium photovoltaic) that generate electricity from light. This battery is what makes the exposure meter work. If the camera is underexposed, a red plate will appear in the viewfinder and the shutter cannot be released. This means that your photos won't turn white or black due to underexposure. The Olympus TRIP 35 film camera is a beginner-friendly camera.
